They will take every step to ensure that possible to to keep their community safe except identify the REAL problem.

They need to do a Root Cause Analysis to identify the true cause of this attack.

It they did it is likely that the root cause of this attack is not the availability of guns in Australia.

The real cause of this tragedy is most likely the people holding the guns at the beach.

Albanese sets ‘immediate’ gun control priorities following Bondi Beach terror attack making it impossible for Islamists to shoot Jews: Knives and firebombs are OK.

And acid attacks, don’t forget those.

A woman in Georgia, USA is recovering from one such.

Where there’s a true believer, there’s a way to punish a kafir and bring about the global caliphate. Guns, knives, bombs, cars, panel trucks, airplanes and more - all tools for the jihadist to earn a martyr’s reward.

When guns are packed away, only Pakis will have guns.

One brave citizen took out one of the murders bare handedly and took his rifle away from him but then leaned it up against the tree like it was a problem?
Edication brain wash job taking hold.
Meanwhile Aussie LE whom I assume are armed cower down behind automobiles or behind a tree two sizes too small.
Needed:
Armed citizens behind every blade of grass.

Exactly where I was going with that, but I thought it would be fun to see how others would get there.

Probably a smart thing to do when you consider that the police are coming and will be looking to shoot somebody holding a gun.

"...equipment that can hold large amounts of ammunition.

Boxes? Shipping containers? Come to think of it, I have a bathtub that can hold a large amount of ammunition.

Yes you are right about that.
The way he handled the gun though brought to mind the theft of the US elections more particularly the 2020 election. Then vice president pence was just as scared of the bad actors and more afraid people thought to be good ones, thus his picture belongs in the dictionary beside the word ‘pensive’

Yes, the root cause is the line about “diversity is our strength.”

That is one of the most dangerous things when you are intervening in a situation like this.

During a robbery of a store the owner was able to get the gun away from the perp robbing him and as he was pointing it at the robber the owner was shot and killed by a “good guy” with a gun thinking that he was the bad guy because he was the one with gun pointing it at an unarmed person behind the counter.

This case in Australia where the guy who took away the gun could easily have been killed thinking he was a terrorist especially in the act of pointing it at the perp.

The politicians will demand more gun control. Aussies need to wake up! Gun Control only keeps the guns out of the hands of the good guys when they are needed the most.

Another possibility is that he didn't know how to operate a pump shotgun or it was out of shells since a typical pump shotgun will only hold 5 rounds.

With that being said, he could have used it to beat the hell out of the guy. (just kidding)

Quinn said while details about the alleged shooters are still to be revealed, one option would be to make sure mental health assessments are conducted every time a gun licence renewal is required.

I don't think a mental health assessment would have stopped this shooting.

Muslims are not insane.

Their religion dictates what for a Christian is insane behavior.

This simple fact is what I think would be determined to be the Root Cause of this mass shooting.

Islam teaches that a man can gain Heaven by dying while killing non-Muslims.
