Add to that, he was calm and polite, didn't get abusive, swear or yell.

Did an excellent job of putting into words what most gun owners are thinking and back it up with facts.
It was great he was able to use examples where the Police and/or justice system has allowed offenders with firearms to get off with a slap on the wrist and show that if the Police really wanted to make a difference, there is a lot to be done before changing the law/making new laws.

Yup. Stop phaffing about making changes (purely to be seen to be doing something and sensationalizing) and get on and fix the obvious bits that are broken and not working.
