No matter what you might see with your own eyes the studies are that 90% of your country is white. Secondly a mass shooting is defined as a shooting that takes place that has 2 or more victims. With that most mass shootings come from things like gang violence. It was not a deflection I was just pointing out that an armed society is a safer society. For a country without guns you guys sure do have an issue defending yourselves from rape and home invasions.
Really? We have less blacks for sure but it doesnt mean they are all the same "whites" - the data is not 100% comparable but it gives an idea.
Australia:
English 25.9%, Australian 25.4%, Irish 7.5%, Scottish 6.4%, Italian 3.3%, German 3.2%, Chinese 3.1%, Indian 1.4%, Greek 1.4%, Dutch 1.2%, other 15.8% (includes Australian Aboriginal .5%), unspecified 5.4% (2011 est.)
US:
White 72.4%, Black 12.6%, Asian 4.8%, Amerindian and Alaska Native 0.9%, Native Hawaiian and other Pacific Islander 0.2%, other 6.2%, two or more races 2.9% (2010 est.)

Are we now going to mix all the issues a country may or may not have just in order to deflect that more guns logically leads to more gun violence?
And in terms of rape statistics:
Both countries are very much the same:
