Included in that is the need for tougher gun laws.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Police have said the suspects \u2014 a father and son \u2014   used rifles and shotguns owned legally by the older man. Albanese proposed new laws to limit the number of guns a licensed owner can obtain, and a review into how existing licenses could be subject to renewal over time.<\/p>\n<p>Chris Minns, the Premier of New South Wales state, where Bondi Beach is located, said Monday that the attack &#8220;demands an overwhelming response,&#8221; announcing that more than 320 police officers would be &#8220;deployed today, and we will continue to increase that number.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said Tuesday that the state was looking at reforms that could include denying permission for protests after terror events.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My concern is that a mass demonstration in this combustible situation with our multicultural community could light a flame that would be impossible to extinguish,&#8221; Minns told reporters, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/australia-news\/live\/2025\/dec\/17\/bondi-beach-shooting-live-updates-victims-terror-attack-jewish-festival-al-ahmed-sajid-naveed-akram-shooters-india-radicalisation-gun-control-ntwnfb?CMP=share_btn_url&amp;page=with%3Ablock-694221118f085301b168f0d8#block-694221118f085301b168f0d8\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">The Guardian<\/a> newspaper. &#8220;In many cases, particularly in relation to restrictions on protests, there are constitutional issues. So, it has to be drafted in a particular way. We have to be very clear about the designation and the reason for it. I&#8217;m being crystal clear about it. I&#8217;m worried about a combustible situation and community harmony. That&#8217;s the reason we would introduce this legislation. It&#8217;s begun, the drafting process has begun. But when it&#8217;s completed I&#8217;ll let you know.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The state premier added, however, that there had been &#8220;a lot of conflation that protests lead to violence because some chants are being said, yet the events on Sunday were not related to a protest at all.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He said any new law brought in would target no specific group, but rather &#8220;be a blanket rule in place&#8221; only in the wake of a terrorist incident.<\/p>\n<section class=\"content__body--footer\">\n<\/section>\n<p>  <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
