   But you can't handwave away this:   
   ======================   
   Key Comparisons   
      
       Overall Rates: The U.S. gun death rate is significantly higher (e.g.,   
   13.7 per 100,000 in 2023) compared to Australia (around 0.88 per 100,000   
   in 2018), a difference of about 12 to 15 times, notes USA Today, Forbes.   
      
       Gun Murders: In a recent period, the US had about 18,000 gun   
   homicides (5.6 per 100,000), while Australia had only 31 (0.09 per   
   100,000) in a comparable period, showing the US's rate is ~62 times   
   higher, notes Forbes.   
      
       Mass Shootings: After implementing strict laws, Australia saw a   
   dramatic drop in mass shootings (from 12 before 1996 to just four in the   
   29 years after), whereas the U.S. experiences hundreds annually, reports
