ok, I'm no expert but:
- all hand guns (don't know if that's the right term. pistols. secondary weapon in counter strike) are illegal with a few exceptions (cops, sports...maaaaybe some private security)
- all semi and fully automatic guns are illegal. includes things like pump-action shotguns. although i'm fairly sure bolt action style rifles capable of holding a magazine are ok (because my dad has one)
- everything that doesn't fall into those categories you need a fairly strictly controlled license. including things like a safe place to store it. and usually a fairly good reason (i.e. "I live in bumf*ck nowhere and I need to shoot my livestock (or kangaroos) when they break a leg")
I haven't actually read this, but I think what I wrote above is a fairly accurate summary.

ftr, our gun laws got super tight after this:

Since then there have been no mass shootings. Take note other countries who may not have such strict gun laws (too soon?).
