Juuuust about ideal, definitely.
Sure, except we are defenceless to the rampant dropbears. /s
Australia is a funny example for gun control. Yanks seem to think we have no guns at all, but the reality is that as long as you are mentally sound and store your guns safely, they aren't that hard to get.
Yeah, that's a pretty substantial improvement to what we have in the US.
According to polling most Americans support stricter gun control measures but not a ban. As usual, it's the Electoral College and FPTP (IMO, no country with either should be listed as a full democracy. Not USA, not UK, and not Canada.) Still, it is true that the gun issue is too often presented as binary (but I'd actually say this is just as common with foreigners arguing for gun bans as it is with Americans arguing against it.)
