an Australia-style ban and confiscation would affect?

You'd probably be talking in the neighborhood of 60+ million gun owners and 200+ million guns affected, plus a quarter-billion-plus magazines. Even compared to France, Germany, Norway, Finland, and New Zealand, Australian gun laws are downright totalitarian. Heck, they make England's gun laws look relatively free by comparison (Brits can own semiautomatic and pump shotguns with unlimited magazine capacity, whereas Australia even banned and confiscated pump shotguns).
