The Aussies obviously put a lot of thought into these laws and they
make a lot of sense. At first I thought the rules were draconian and I
was surprised to find out a majority of those polled felt the laws were
not strict enough.

Step one to cut gun deaths is to legalize drugs.

20 years after that gun ban and confiscation they turned in 57,000
banned guns in the amnesty this year. It makes you wonder how many are
still out there.

However many, there are now 57,000 fewer.

20 years in, it does prompt the question, have these been held
illegally for 2 decades or is there a leak in the ban?
Even assuming we would be as compliant here, that ends up being a half
million illegal guns.

Yes, it could take years, which is all the more reason to start now.

Regardless, putting strict controls on the civilian sale of ammunition
will render many of the uncollected weapons impotent.

The world will probably go on after we are gone, especially if Trump is
removed from office. I rather like the idea of making the nation a
safer place for my descendants instead of simply saddling them with
crippling national debts.

The difference is the culture is completely different to the US.
Most Aussies had the desire to stop the carnage and as far as I know
they didn't have an all powerful NRA preventing change.

Indeed. The dealers will have no one to sell to when users know they can
get clean and regulated drugs legally.
