Call for gun law rethink

THE shooting death of two teenagers at the hands of their father in Sydney has prompted calls for a review of gun laws.

Jack, 15, and Jennifer Edwards, 13, were killed in their West Pennant Hills home by their father, John, on Friday.

The 68-year-old took his own life shortly after.

Opposition leader Luke Foley yesterday said the shooting murders should prompt the community to examine what can change.

“What happened last week should cause us to examine whether there are improvements that can be made,” Mr Foley said, floating the idea that people be alerted or have a say when their partners or expartners apply for a gun.

He also suggested reviewing the NSW laws surrounding gun clubs.
