Probably because the Australian gun violence numbers are lower than before the ban. Seems like an odd point to make. Especially as those new laws made it so that not a single shooting event broke double digits in terms of those injured or killed. In fact gun deaths dropped to less than 1 per 100,000 in 2018, for a total of around 260, meaning even if every single shooting that happened, happened on a different day, there would not be enough shootings for 1 per day in the entire nation, absolutely crushing your "daily" claim. That also includes all accidental events, all suicides, everything. Only looking at homicides that number drops even more, to just around 30 homicides per year.
Yes, the militia is run by the government. Those people who got their rifles and bits and bobs were under the directive of the US federal government.
No, the US does not have more freedoms than other countries, in fact it is missing some very crucial ones, such as:
A right to housing.
A right to healthcare.
A right to clean water.
A right to your own body.
A right to not be enslaved.
All of these are on some level not protected in the US.
The Nazis actually removed gun restrictions that were put in place after WW1. By relaxing gun laws they were able to build a grassroots violence fascist movement.
I agree that crime is strongly linked to wealth inequality, but guns make all violence exponentially worse. It allows specific instances of crime to be more serious just by the addition of a deadly weapon.
No, every state does not have mandatory background checks. Many states have private sales without the need to get any sort of check. There are also the issues with a lack of licensing and registry, meaning someone could drive to a lax state, load up on guns, then sell them in a more restrictive area. That's why guns in places like Chicago that are used in crimes all come from outside the city. People traffic guns into the area to sell in illegal private sales after legally purchasing them 2 states over.

"Let's start with her acting like it's for only a militia. Court ruled against that false premise years ago & recognize it as an individual right. Also if you look up what the militia was, it's the people, & they were expected to bring their OWN arms."
However, as a militia they are still subject to the orders of the state if called upon.
"Then she either misunderstood or is just dishonest about what "well regulated" meant in that context then, it really means to make regular."
No, it means they need to be able to be activated, trained and deployed by the states.
"The idea they'd give control to government after that's who they just fought because they came for our arms, makes no sense."
Because they were overthrowing a foreign government and installing their own democratic republic.
"Then she goes on to completely misunderstand the (broken) rule against a standing army."
There was no rule against a standing army. The militia was proposed as an alternative to a standing army, but it was always known a standing army could be created. The well-regulated militia in that case would still exist as they are subject to individual states, not the federal government. That being said, we now have an actuall well-regulated militia, it's called the National Guard.
