The Bondi Beach massacre has propelled the Australian Government to overhaul its already-tough gun laws.
Sixteen people died and dozens were injured when two shooters opened fire on a Jewish gathering on Sunday night in what's been labelled a terror attack.
Now 26 victims remain in hospital, with six fighting for life.
A 24-year-old suspect is also in hospital under police watch while his 50-year-old father, who's also believed responsible, died at the scene.
The older man had been a licensed firearms holder for about a decade and owned six registered firearms.
9News Australia correspondent Charles Croucher told Heather du Plessis-Allan the federal government now wants to cut down the number of guns a person can own and conduct more regular checks on those with licences.
He says it also wants to restrict gun ownership to Australian citizens only.
