The federal government is attracting growing criticism over its plans for gun controls in the wake of the Bondi Beach terrorist attack. Former prime minister John Howard is concerned that the government is using gun laws as a diversion to deflect attention from its failure to show leadership on the issue of anti-Semitism. He says Labor’s initial response to the 7 October 2023 terrorist attacks in Israel had been "weak and unconvincing"; he contends that some of the anti-Semitism that has been allowed to spread over the last two years may have been prevented if Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had taken a firmer stance from the outset. Queensland’s Premier David Crisafulli supports gun law reform but agrees that cracking down on anti-Semitism must be a priority.

Gun Control Australia CEO Sam Lee says the Federal Government should put pressure on its state and territory counterparts to implement changes to the National Firearms Agreement. The reforms were agreed upon earlier in 2017 after extensive negotiations, but none of the states and territories have fully implemented the changes. The Sporting Shooters Association of Australia opposes the introduction of stricter gun control laws.

The Coalition is divided on the issue of the relaxation of gun laws. Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull has accused the Australia Labor Party of "demonising" gun owners. Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk has warned against changes in regulations which would allow the importation of seven-shot Adler gun into Australia, as suggested by Liberal Democratic Party senator David Leyonhjelm.
