It should be interesting though, and I hope the government lives up to the statement of that lone politician. The fact is, it is fairly easy to get a gun here, you just have to go through the simple process required. Another fact is that the weapons this guy used are not generally available in any Western democracy I can think of (including the US); he was breaking the law simply by having an automatic rifle and fertilizer bomb, so hopefully this won't mean creation of laws that further restrict law abiding citizens access to weapons while doing nothing to prevent mad men willing to invest nearly a DECADE in a massacre obtaining them illegally.
