Which Norwegian/European gun control law stopped this mass public shooting?

After Attack on Norway Mosque, Body Found at Home Tied to Assailant

During the mosque attack, the suspect was overpowered by a 75-year-old member of the congregation who sustained light injuries, said Irfan Mushtaq, a former director of the al-Noor Islamic Centre mosque and a board member who witnessed it.

“The man carried two shotgun-like weapons and a pistol” and was wearing body armor, a helmet and black clothes, Mr. Mushtaq told Norwegian televisionTV2. “He broke through a glass door and fired shots.”

Only three people were in the mosque at the time, at about 4 p.m. local time. If he had arrived earlier during prayers, the attacker could have hurt many more people, he said.
 
Police said Manshaus does not have a “criminal background.”

According to The Guardian, someone reported Manshaus to the Norwegian police service, the PST, in 2018, but they did not investigate further. “There was nothing in that tipoff that suggested there was danger of an act of terrorism or that planning of an attack was under way,” Hans Sverre Sjøvold said, according to The Guardian.

Police said it was a “vague” tip and did not include any information about “concrete plans” for an upcoming attack, CBS News reports.

“Many of the people who have right-wing attitudes share a violent mindset, but experience shows that very few go from word to action. Therefore, it is a demanding mission to capture and prevent those who have the ability and will to carry out attacks,” Sjovold said at a press conference.
