It depends on how it was done. However, there is no way to really confiscate ALL privately owned guns, because in the US, there is no gun registration (except for a few states) there is no real way to know the location of every gun and additionally, criminals wouldn't give up their guns voluntarily.

Did Australia confiscate everyone's guns?

Australia did not confiscate their citizens' guns, as Australia's constitution requires just compensation be given for property taken over. Because of this, the government initiated a gun buyback program in 1996. The guns they obtained, nearly a million in all, were destroyed. Within the next two years risk of dying via gunshot wound in Australia fell by 50%.

Depends on what you mean by automatic guns, and the law where you live. You did not tell us where that is, so there is no way we can answer.
