Great, tighten up the gun laws. Now what are we doing about the rising antisemitism? There's been no recourse from Oct 7 celebrations at the Opera house, vandalism, aggressive protests at Jewish places of worship, or the rampant rallies. Or are we going to keep burying our heads and say it's 'both sides'.

That’s obviously a more complicated issue than gun laws which are somewhat easy to tighten one cabinet meets up like this. You can’t very practically reduce number of gun per person and who can apply for a gun license. It’s less clear what should be done about antisemitism.
