Honestly, I think the laws did less than we like to believe in this specific case. There were no shortage of people the killer could have taken out if he were so inclined. He didn't. That implies that he went into Parliament with a target in mind, rather than intent on general mayhem.
But in the general sense, I absolutely agree. If this person had been intent on general mayhem, easy access to assault weaponry would have led to a far more significant loss of life. The laws are good.
