We have sharks, snakes and crocs - and combined they only amount to a very few deaths per year - usually under 5. Nearly all of those deaths could have been avoided if the person took simple reasonable precautions - like not swimming in the sharks and crocs food bowl in such a manner as to attract them to food. I am a diver so I often swim in shark infested water and I know how to attract them for photos as well as how not to make them hungry.
The US has guns, sharks, snakes, gators and large cats. If you exclude guns, combined the others only amount to a few deaths per year. On Dec 26 last year in the US:
Very few of those, if any, could have been prevented by the victims actions.
EDIT
I used to be a hunter until the late 70's. I have no problems with responsible gun owners - but that requires mental and police checks.
