As a response to the spree killing, Australian state and territory governments placed extensive restrictions on all firearms, including semi-automatic centre-fire rifles, repeating shotguns (holding more than five shots) and high-capacity rifle magazines. In addition to this, limitations were also put into place on low-capacity repeating shotguns and rim-fire semi-automatic rifles. Though this resulted in stirring controversy, opposition to the new laws was overcome by media reporting of the massacre and mounting public opinion in the wake of the shootings
Jewish backers had been pushing the government for a long time to get gun control introduced, prior to this Australia had little regulation. Jewish media lied big time about the protest, stated a few thousand attended whereas it was the biggest turnout in history. Protesters covered almost the full length of george street and pitt street. An examination of firearm offence records conducted privately by serving police officers at the time who doubted the government narrative showed there was not a gun issue and the most likely offence was suicide by .22 stirling bolt action. The whole thing was a sham to disarm the population and push their socialist agenda.
