gun number limit is also a kneejerk reaction
Please explain how limiting how many guns people can have isn’t sensible.
Honestly, why do we allow “recreation” as a legitimate reason at all? Like, sorry, but when a hobby endangers the community, then it should be allowed. People will mental gymnastic a reason why it’s unfair to stop them enjoying their hobby, but I remain rather unconvinced.
I’m not across the new laws, but the limiting the number of guns someone can legally own part just doesn’t scream knee-jerk to me.

It’s a feeling based idea to assuage the public rather than a logic based one. If someone has four guns already there is little difference between what damage they are likely to be able to cause with those four vs what they could do with five, six, or seven (and the difference is less significant again if they already have ten). The limits seem rather arbitrary instead of evidence based and would not stop a repetition of the Bondi massacre, they appear instead to just be a quick decision made to show the government is doing something in reaction to a tragedy (something must be done, this is something therefore we must do it…).
