Off the top of my head, they vary wildly in the following:

1). Population
2). Geography
3). Culture
4). Economy

This isn't even getting into the how each country views individual freedoms (or lack thereof in some cases). It's similar to people trying to compare the COVID response of each country.

Please explain why this message is being reported.

Nobody can explain why America has so many mass shooters - Ace AU - 3/23 07:08:27

You talking about the 21 shot over the weekend in Chiraq? - Ragnar Danneskjold MU

That is different - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:52:25

A society saturated with guns... - mizzoumurfkc KC - 3/23 07:38:37

And all the decades we were saturated with guns and even - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:45:38

What could go right if the gov't banned guns? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:39:04

So your point is that we are doomed - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:45:19

start being honest, rask - pickle MU

- 3/23 08:01:29

Turn off the news. (nm) - ummmm MU - 3/23 07:50:00

I don't think the U.S. is doomed at all (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:46:29

Prevalence of guns and mass shootings just a given then(nm) - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:49:22

Are you scared of being killed by a "mass shooting"? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:52:20

Australia. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:44:38

What's right with Australia? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:46:07

Only like 1 or 2 mass shootings in the last 25 years. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:50:02

The evidence does not support that claim - BigDave MU - 3/23 08:11:15

I focused on gun deaths, yes. Rate of gun deaths has - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:47:21

Why are you ignoring other methods of murder? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 08:48:19

They aren't relevant to the discussion. Those rates haven't - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:54:22

You mean they aren't relevant to your narrative (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 09:05:12

They aren't relevant to the discussion, as I pointed out. - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 09:06:18

You're trying to compare two countries - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:51:54

Yeah, that's the normal BS argument you ammosexuals - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:54:38

What is incorrect about it? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:55:21

How are the US and Australia critically different and thus - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:57:05

RE: How are the US and Australia critically different and thus - Sal CMSU - 3/23 08:06:57

None of those things make the two countries - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:22:01

It makes the two countries vastly different (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 08:24:00

They aren't that different. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:48:26

How are they similar? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 08:50:53

Economies are both capitalistic. Population is smaller, but - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:57:01

So your answer is "economies are both capitalistic"?? - Sal CMSU - 3/23 09:04:49

You haven't provided any reasons why any of your - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 09:07:19

The two countries aren't really similar at all - Sal CMSU - 3/23 09:12:50

The two countries are very similar in most material - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 09:32:23

How are they similar? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 09:40:24

i wouldn’t expect a socialist to understand rights (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/23 08:03:36

Typical non-answer. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:05:27

i’m not interested in your questions (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/23 08:18:49

Then don't provide non-answers. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:57:33

why are you stupid? (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/23 10:48:40

Nor do people wish to address why for over 200 years - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:26:10

The guns got a lot more efficient at killing - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:47:16

So suddenly people were compelled by efficiency? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:48:47

And handguns with magazines are still a lot more efficient - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:51:47

There was a lot of time and advancement between - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:53:18

And there's been a lot of time since mass shootings weren't - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:58:53

And we had lots of guns and few gun laws for a long time - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 08:03:10

Guns got a lot cheaper and more widely available. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:07:07

No - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 08:13:17

We have more guns now, and they are cheaper and more widely - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 08:58:28

People were empowered by efficiency. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:50:50

So why do so many of these shootings occur - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:51:33

Apparently they are pretty effective in killing people. Nm - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:52:30

As were handguns in many decades before these - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:54:27

Women voting(nm) - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/23 07:28:19

RE: Nobody can explain why America has so many mass shooters - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:20:13

you are a totalitarian pos (nm) - pickle MU

- 3/23 07:34:07

Individualism is to blame??? - ummmm MU - 3/23 07:26:29

RE: Individualism is to blame??? - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:37:36

That doesn't help at all. - ummmm MU - 3/23 07:48:44

Yeah Cheeto, you run with that - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:51:33

Like the 200 years in our country with many guns, - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:47:07

you are evil, rask - pickle MU

- 3/23 07:40:01

chances of being killed by a mass shooter = statistical zero - 5_Star_True_Son MU - 3/23 07:16:03

So all of a sudden it's the LIberals. That is kinda funny - raskolnikov MU - 3/23 07:28:28

How do you know? - 4TigersinMichigan MU - 3/23 07:50:58

America has decided in order to satisfy its fetish for guns - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:17:45

You know what the remedy is. Cops in black neighborhoods - hefeweizen MU

- 3/23 07:22:12

That may be your remedy. My remedy isn't remotely - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:37:55

What "mass deaths" actually upset you? (nm) - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:39:36

All of them are unsettling. I'd think that you are - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 07:42:44

You don't do much crying about them - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:43:51

As I said, doing anything about it is futile at this point. - SparkyStalcup MU - 3/23 09:02:28

You've already admitted deaths are acceptable - Sal CMSU - 3/23 09:15:23

Yep - mizzoumurfkc KC - 3/23 07:39:27

Yep ... heavier police presence in the hood - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:29:28

Chicago already has extreme gun control - El-ahrairah BAMA - 3/23 07:22:07

Such a simple concept that goes over the heads - Sal CMSU - 3/23 07:28:50

BUT THEY BUY THEIR GUNS IN INDIANA. (nm) - hefeweizen MU
