YES. Seriously why isn't anyone recognising this ?

The exact same violent video games and movies available in the US exist in many Western countries (New Zealand, Australia, UK, Singapore, Ireland, Scotland, France). But there is no where near the same issues.

In Australia I could get lost and end up at any house and be guaranteed I am not going to be killed for no reason.

Do you honestly think if you get lost and knock on a strangers door you'll just be indiscriminately killed in the USA?

Remember that the statistics are all talking about relatively small numbers. Take USA's 0.00004 vs Australia's 0.00001 it's technically correct to say '300% more likely', but it's still a very small chance.

tl;dr Your more likely to commit suicide than be murdered in either country.
