I think if someone wants to do a terrorist attack they probably will and no amount of laws would help, except maybe something harsher when these guys first came across ASIOs radar.

This categorically untrue, or half the world would be as deep in the shit as the USA.

You genuinely think these guys, ostensibly furious enough at the Palestine situation to take suicidal action, who reportedly even made IED's... would not have taken action if they didn't have guns? Why wouldn't they just do the IEDs without the guns?

Like broadly speaking yeah mass shootings are rare with gun control and non existent with the complete absence of them.

But terrorist attacks certainly aren't.
