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

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!

Blame the deed not the breed
@4T6TNQD4yrs4Y
Bullets only purchased at police stations
@4Z93XY74yrs4Y
One gun being banned simply won't change a thing
@99HPQBJ2yrs2Y
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
@9LMG6PS7mos7MO
instead of completely banning, have more intense restrictions and make it harder to gain a licence for this specific gun.
