Australia already has super tough gun controls. Under current law, lever action long guns are kept in the low A category, meaning they are among the easiest firearms to acquire in that country. Although one still must get an individual permit to own the gun, and document that you have a "genuine reason" to own the gun. NOTE: The right to own a gun for self-defense is not recognized in Australia.
Well, since it is now so hard and difficult to get either a semiauto or pump action shotgun in Australia ( the law puts them in the very restricted Category C ), a lever action shotgun called the Adler A110 has now become popular. It falls into the much easier to obtain Category A.
However, the growing popularity of this shotgun has upset the folks at Gun Control Australia, Australia's main gun control organization. They argue that it can be shot too fast, and should thus be banned. They have begun a petition, to put a ban on the Adler A110. Here is a link to their webpage attacking the Adler A110:

The anti-gun people in Australia are calling the shotgun a "legal semiauto". Laurie Levy, campaign director for the Coalition against Duck Shooting ( a group that fights for Duck rights, and the abolition of Duck Hunting in Australia ) said this: "What it is, is a <broken link removed> weapon. It shouldn't be able to come to Australia. It's a rapid fire weapon very much like a pump-action shotgun – in fact it looks just like one."
Can you believe these morons?? When will the gun grabbers ever be satisfied?
Here is a link below to more background about the situation. The Sports Shooters Association of Australia is fighting back, and has noted that there has never been a single instance of a lever action shotgun being used in a crime in Australia.
