Although I'm not sure the family and friends of Trevor Waite and Glenys Stanton would be comforted that their loved ones were killed in a 'double' murder, not a 'mass' murder by a licenced firearm owner.

The murder of seven people by a licenced firearm owner in 1941 is just as relevant today as it was in 1941. The victims are still as dead, even though they are forgotten by most people. Like most have forgotten the victims in Paerata when Schlaepfer killed his family.

No it isnt, the legislation and society have both changed in 70 years.
