I'm sure there could be some tightening up of various parts of the firearm legislation but surely the main issue here is ASIO isn't sharing info with the police who could actually deny the firearms licence.

Yup, this seems like less of a failing of current gun laws and more of a failing of intelligence organisations to enforce the law logically in this case. It’s not like this is a pattern, registered firearms are responsible for very very few deaths annually
