"Successful, just like Australia's."

so how could this happen?

Gun control doesn't mean it will never happen.
It does however decrease the likelihood... The fact there hasn't been an incident in years means it has been successful, they will likely ramp up their gun control legislation in the face of this... And I honestly hope so, Gun Control works and saves lives.

Even if Australia was to have a massacre that kills 100 people, the gun control legislation has still been highly effective.

And contrary to what some people may say... Gun Control doesn't mean you can't own guns, you still can, you just need a reason. (I.E. Sport, Farming etc'.) and need a ton of checks and balances to make sure that the lethal weapons are out of harms way. (Alarms, Secured Gun lockers etc'.)

Senator Fraser Anning who sent out that disgusting un-Australian letter... Got egged and then he punched a minor.

The thing is, a massacre of 100 people in Australia is quite bad compared to massacre of 100 people in say Brazil or USA. Australia is almost as big as USA or Brazil but has a very small population, as well as density. So the gun violence rate would be quite terrible statistically if that were to happen.

To put in perspective this 50 casualty massacre in NZ would be equivalent to 3000 casualty massacres in USA.
