Well for most of the named countries using all homicides versus gun homicides makes little difference.

australia 0.8 belgium 1.08 canada 1.8 france 1.3 portugal 0.72 spain 0.69 usa 5.76

What you should look up is homicides/non-homicide crimes against gun ownership. You will find that the US does not in general have more crime except for homicides.

You also are not going to find a country with anywhere near the gun ownership that the US has, so I suppose your are safe there.
