This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 72%. (I'm a bot)

June 4, 2019.SYDNEY, Australia - The police said four people were shot and killed on Tuesday in Darwin, the capital of Australia's Northern Territory, when a gunman went on a shooting spree in the city's main business district.

The shooting in Darwin, a former frontier outpost with a population of about 130,000, seemed to be Australia's deadliest since May of last year, when seven members of a Western Australia family were found dead in an apparent murder-suicide.

That was the country's worst mass shooting since the 1996 Port Arthur massacre in Tasmania, which left 35 people dead and led to a significant toughening of Australia's gun laws.

Polls show more than 90 percent support in Australia for the two-decade-old gun regime.

Those who own guns, own more guns - in some cases, 100 or more.

In the Northern Territory, for example, the number of gun owners declined to 13,000 in 2014 from almost 15,000 in 2007, according to Gunpolicy.org, a clearinghouse for gun data.
