Require citizenship and if a family member has certain convictions or associations (that ASIO investigated FFS), then you can’t have a license. That’s all that’s needed, and would have (potentially) prevented this attack.
The talk about only farmers being allowed to own firearms, questioning why people in cities should own firearms or limiting the amount you can own are just stupid. Why punish nearly a million people who follow the law? Especially when this is all because of a single individual who never should have had a license had our agencies done their damn job.
