I'm all for, got the next best thing though, 7 shot chiappa lever action gets the lead out pretty quick on the bunnies and the boars. Semi do it better with less recoil, brother in law primary producer and got one perfect for bunny control under spot light.

I voted yes.

I was looking at this FBI homicide data from the USA,

Murder victims 2011,weapon-
Rifle- 323
Shotguns- 356
Knife or cutting instrument- 1,694
Blunt object,club,hammers,etc- 496
Hands-Fists-Feet- 728
source- http://www.fbi.gov/about-us/cjis/ucr/cr ... ta-table-8

Hands and Feet killed more people than rifles and shotguns in the USA in 2011.

And I still miss my Remington 870 pump with synthetic stock with factory full camo - deep sigh and a little tear :-(
There's still a few of Wile. E Coyote's ideas that I haven't tried yet.

I would be happy with an 8 shot pump! You can get a 10 shot 308 pump on cat B, so what the F@#%* is the big deal?

Nailed it on the head there!

I'm just worried if we raise the issue of pump action shotguns and centre fires they would take the rifles away instead.

Exactly, it makes no sense at all.

Not allowed a pump action shotty with a 200m range, but you are allowed a pump action rifle with 1,000m range.
