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%.

It depends on how it was done.
