Things are fucking grim but I want to up Albanese explicitly stating that the reason that there’s not more devastating casualties is because Australia has gun control laws which restrict access to firearms.

Those laws were passed swiftly in a country with hunting/farming culture as a central identity after the Port Arthur massacre. Aotearoa/NZ did this after the terrorist attacks in 2019. Gun laws save lives, folks.
They didn't follow all the recommendations that came from that. Gun licensing and gun registration. Which is why it came in after CHCH. Hope they don't roll it back

The ChCh terrorist studied for loopholes and unfortunately found some. But overall AoNZ wasn’t decades behind Australia.
