According to the FBI
http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr...e-data-table-8 approx 2/3 of murders in the US are committed with firearms.
In Australia, they appear to have stopped reporting gov stats once stabbing murders became most popular

The odds of being murdered, if you are not personally a violent criminal, are infinitesimal in either country.
