The gun laws failed since the father got his guns after his son was investigated by ASIO.

hey check this one too

But Sporting Shooters CEO Tom Kenyon has told AM that gun reform proposals are a distraction that won’t bolster public safety. “None of those would have prevented Sunday. The number of firearms they had access to has nothing to do with what happened.” Kenyon thinks resources are better spent on anti-extremism programs. “When two people decided that it was OK to kill their fellow citizens, after that point, once you’re having an argument about what type of weapon they use, you’ve already lost. Government should be focusing its resources on preventing this radicalisation of individuals.”

see we told yous that half killing someone with yousr bare hands is the same as killing 1500 people by knocking down their skyscrapers

The first problem with the gun laws is that all you need is a farmer who will sign a piece of paper to say he allows you to shoot on his property, which nobody checks.
The second is that all you need to do is join a gun club. You don’t have to attend the gun club. Nobody checks.

I think you will find it’s rather more complex than that. It is in Victoria. You have to have people to sign papers that you are of good standing. I know this because one of my patients asked me to do it and I declined because I only knew him as a patient. And the police here also do checks of how you are storing your guns, locked cabinet etc. I don’t know how they decide who to check. And I suspect you might have to be able to produce records of attendance at a gun club to retain a licence, although I do not know this for sure.
