Australians can have a firearm but you need to get a license for it. This license allows the police to search your property to ensure you're following the rules to keep that license.
As opposed to the States requiring you to register your firearm and then having police perform no knock raids at 2am, killing your pets and other family members.
Australians don't have freedom of speech
Either do Americans.

I live in California, one of the more anti-gun states and I don't have to register my guns because the guns I have are not assault style guns with certain features. It's dumb, and more red tape but it's the realities of California.
To be more specific, if I lived in a "free state" you can have an assault style rifle such as an AR-15 or AK without having to register it with the state. Register your gun states are going to be a handful, New York, California, maybe a few others. Now if you want a machine gun that is full auto fire, you have to register that with the ATF that might be considered a license. Full auto has been banned for decades at this point and they're not manufactured here. So it depends which state your in and what the registration obligations are and most states are free states.
and then having police perform no knock raids at 2am, killing your pets and other family members.
No-knock or normal raids doesn't exist because we have gun rights. They exist because when they're used when the cops want to surprise those inside, usually because it's a dangerous person and as far as I understand, that person(s) is watched by the cops for a while. So if you have a criminal history, typically it's going to be drugs with a criminal history with violence with a dangerous weapon they will use a no-knock which is a court process. I'v never considered I would be a target for a no-knock, I'm not a criminal, don't hang out with criminals. But you're right, they can do it it's abused, mistakes are made and innocents can die and I think they should be removed as a tool or very difficult to get approval for.

Explain this so I understand where you're coming from. Why don't Americans have freedom of speech?
It sounds like you don't know the realities regarding the USA and gun rights which isn't surprising, I would say many if not most Americans don't understand the process either. You lump the entire country and talk as if the gun policies of New York city apply to every person in the country, they don't. It comes down to your state, county but in general you can buy a gun and if your not a criminal you can have it and the state or federal government won't know what you have purchased.

We have the illusion of Free Speech but if you try to publicly call out the kikes then that speech is censored. In the case of George Lincoln Rockwell assassination can also be a side effect.

Ok so you seem to be confusing Constitutional free speech vs in the spirit of free speech. I don't know why people do this, but they want the Constitutional protections when they go on twitter and start causing problems which they have as the government won't come after you but that won't stop Twitter from taking action. Now if you start making serious threats against someone, the government can investigate you which could lead to legal action because 1A protection ends when you threaten someone.
So basically the 1A protections is for political speech, not threatening violence or harm.
EDIT: This is the difference between the US and Australian speech. Australia won't protect your political speech. Australia government may or not not take action for political speech but that is an option they have and thats why I say Australia doesn't have freedom of speech.
There is no firearm registration.
I know its wikipedia but I don't think there's any agenda with this wikipedia page
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_laws_in_the_United_States_by_state#Common_subjects_of_state_laws
Some states and localities require that a person obtain a license or permit in order to purchase or possess firearms. Some states and localities require that individual firearms be registered with the police or with another law enforcement agency.
If we are going to be technical and say "not all states" well then theres states here in Australia where you don't require a licence to own a gun as well. Western Australia being the prominent one.
Very limited to liberal cities.
