Australian state parliament reconvenes to push through stricter gun laws after Bondi mass shooting

INTRO:  Australia's most populous state pushed ahead Monday with what it said were the country's strictest gun laws after two gunmen killed 15 people celebrating a Jewish festival in Sydney last week.

The legislation would also ban the display of "terrorist symbols", including the flag of the Islamic State, which was found in a car linked to one of the alleged shooters. Laura Westbrook reports.
