I had a conversation with 2 aussies just this past week and guns came up in wake of the Laffayette shooting.
Pretty much guns are legal there for hunting purposes. Meaning you can't have a handgun just a rifle. The aussie also told me that if we paid $1000 for a shot gun here in the states that same shot gun will cost to equivalent to $30000 in Australia.
I then went on an made a joke that we have "gun dispensaries" here in the states, aka wal-mart. The aussies thought that was funny.

I don't remember the details but Australia outlawed or heavily restricted guns, years back, after a mass shooting.
Most accurate estimates point to a decrease in about 6% - 7% of the overall total of privately owned firearms in Australia in the few years after the 1996 law was passed. Since then all of those firearms and then some have been replaced. Australia is a perfect example of the ignorance of gun-control advocates. They love to claim that the 1996 law stopped mass shootings but the had one in 2001 and another in 2007 or thereabouts. They also have rather frequent shooting involving "bikies".
