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.

Do you think those attacks would've been avoided if there had been less strict gun laws?

This is the wrong logical question. It doesn't matter if they could have been avoided or not with "less strict gun laws." The question is whether or not more strict gun laws prevent them (the burden of proof is on those making the restriction), and there is no evidence that this is the case when looking at all of the emprical data.
