Should the government ban the import of the Adler A110 lever-action shotgun?
In August 2015, Prime Minister Tony Abbott reversed a ban on the import of the A110 lever-action shotgun. This reversed a six-month ban of the gun that the government had enacted in July 2015. Gun rights advocates argue that the gun should not be banned since it is not semi-automatic and widely used by law-abiding hunters and farmers. Anti-gun activists of the gun argue that it is too similar to a semi-automatic weapon since a modified version can fire eleven rounds in eleven seconds and lifting the ban could lead to mass shootings.
All guns can be 3d printed so all laws will eventually be useless

Whatever keeps me and my lovers alive
The biggest killer of citizens with weapons are governments. Guns have a place however I question the need for rapid fire weapons... I am a sporting shooter!
One gun being banned simply won't change a thing
@4YT2TCL3yrs3Y

Yes but for hunting preposes only.
@99HPQBJ1yr1Y
no but they should only be used on farms or ranges not in public spaces and people must have a license specialised to the shotgun
@99DK7JK1yr1Y
Yes, except if the importer and the person owning this firearm has a legitimet reason.
@9K8TZN2New Liberal1mo1MO
No, I would rather see a program to make all 16 - 20yos gun literate and on that basis as well as national defence a limited acceptable list of guns be identified and all else banned.
Only if the import is handled by trustworthy people who pose no risk to harming the country by a mass shooting.
Yes but with mental health checks frequently and only if you have a certified licence and for the military.
@9JKG8RG2mos2MO
We should allow firearms as long as people are licensed to use them for hunting, sport or self defense.
yes, as long as you have your gun licence and you are not going to be doing mass shooting or being irresponsible
@9C6BBLZ10mos10MO
No, but make sure that obtaining a gun is only done through stringent security processes.
@9BT3SGH11mos11MO
No, and completely revoke the firearms ban along with legalising even full auto firearms, adopt a 2nd Amendment-like policy, the right to keep and bear arms must never be infringed.
@9BRZVDJ11mos11MO
Yes but implement stricter laws on the firearm
@9BRTY9J11mos11MO
No, but there should be very strict restrictions and penalties for who can use them and if they are misused.
@9BQ5RXS11mos11MO
Only to be used by proper licensed individuals.
@9BPBL8Z11mos11MO
Yes but only for legal purposes
@99ZMW4R1yr1Y
No, we should reverse the firearms ban, and adopt a policy akin to the wording of the 2nd Amendment. The right to keep and bear arms should never be infringed upon.
Allow but under restricted use - eg farmers only
@99VP73Y1yr1Y
Yes, it holds danger to those around it.
@99TSRH31yr1Y

No, but only farmers and hunters can legally purchase the firearm
@96SXZHZ1yr1Y
use it for military or hunting but have a background check done on any buyer
@96PKZ4W1yr1Y
@96PKZ3B1yr1Y
It should be permitted but with further permits required with regular check ins to insure mental stability of the user
@96JHSNL1yr1Y
Only for people with a license like farmers
No, but it should not be available to the general public or those with any history of crime involving violence or anyone with a history of mental health issues, should be limited to outback hunting.

No, as long as everyone is checked before purchasing a gun. With no criminal history and no mental health issues.
@964VVWY1yr1Y
In general we need make sure gun stay up-to-date with technology. However I do not understand guns enough to make this decision
@95S5PJY2yrs2Y
Add restrictions to use eg: licensing, background checks etc
They should only be using guns for war or any threats against our country but the use of guns shouldn't be used for public.
@95GWT562yrs2Y
Guns should only be with the police.
