   Ah, a bunch of bogus aand/or misleading statistics from a racost gun nut.   
   Really not worth a reply, but just for shit and giggls:   
      
   The rate per 100,000 takes care of differences in population size - and   
   AU rate is much, much lower than the US.   
      
   Note that the "400,000 African blacks" includes South Africans of   
   European decent (ie: Whites).  The majority of Blacks in AU are   
   Aboriginal and there thousands of years before Britain began dumping   
   their criminals on that subcontinent.
