That the terrorist attack in Norway (and France and Belgium, also countries with strict gun laws) shows that it's not mainly an issue about gun control. As a Norwegian himself he has had an opportunity to be aware of this.

The frequency of massacres in the US shows 

When adjusting for population size (as should be done for measuring frequency) the U.S isn't that high actually. Also Australia is not the United States. There is no reason to expect things to happen the same.
