Gee argued that the government failed to call a transparent royal commission into the causes of the December 2025 attacks, instead rushing through gun law reforms. Gee contended that these laws unfairly targeted law-abiding firearm owners in regional Australia while ignoring intelligence gaps that allowed extremists with known links to access licensed firearms. Gee stated that the reforms did not address the core issue of illegal firearms, as criminals do not comply with licensing regimes or participate in buyback schemes. Gee emphasised that the current approach penalised those already following the law rather than preventing future harm.
