G'day Koolxx, Thank you for your question. Yes it is but it is much harder to get a gun than in the US. However, 765,000 Australians own firearms. I have attached sources for your reference. Regards Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics_in_Australia Australian Parliamentary Library http://www.aph.gov.au/library/intguide/law/crimlaw.htm#firearms

Yes, but you need to be properly licensed (which takes into account criminal record and mental condition), legally adult, have all the paperwork for the firearm(s), and abide by strict storage and transport regulations. There are different rules about 'using' firearms however, such as a lower age requirement. Also, as far as I know, self-defence isn't a valid reason to own a firearm here (and you need to have a valid reason before you can legally own one).

Yes, but it is regulated to an almost insane amount - We have no concealed carry licences, you must be an active member of a pistol club to own a handgun, and no semi-automatic rifles. You Even have to have a Gun licence to own a paintball gun or a starter pistol, and Airsoft guns are illegal here, but for a single type of spring-powered rifle.
