Adler Shotgun to be banned by PM Tony Abbott

Hope for the best but be prepared for the worst...

Usually the later lately it seems.

How much of a hypocrite can the mad monk be, first we have at least one pollie and the media both national and inter national gearing up for the big ban job,

Yesterday, BBC News quoted the minister as saying, Vegemite was "a precursor to misery" and bought in bulk to make moonshine.

Then Abbot stepped in and said that his Govt wasn't into over regulation and to police the existing laws.

Prime Minister Tony Abbott doesn't want to see Australia's signature spread put on "Vegemite watch" amid concerns it's being used to brew alcohol.

Mr Abbott says it is important to ensure remote communities are being properly policed but insists his is a deregulatory government.

Very hypocritical, considering more people, Indigenous and whites, are killed by alcohol per year, then by firearms.
Well mister PM, I for one am calling you out on this, you are nothing mor than a two-faced, back stabbing, public funds grabbing, bulls!@t artist, whose only political interest is run this country into the ground!!

After the d**kheads tried to ban the Adler lever action shotgun, a five-shot version is being prepared for importation later in the year. Hopefully it'll be easy to modify the magazine tube so that it can hold 10 or so.

Non-removable magazines in Category A are usually limitless, so any modification will be completely legal. It's just a Customs rule that the filthy, oxygen-thieving bastards tried.

And not just more, hundreds of times the amount of alcohol deaths vs firearms.

And overdosing on drug. Yet, I don't see much in the media to ban alcohol, of course. Alcohol has practically next to no use, yet at 18 years of age its perfectly legal to purchase and drink, fueling bogans everywhere. A firearm is useful in a LOT of ways, whether it would be hunting, pest control, sport and defense.

Compare the sport of shooting ti say motorsport. Shooting has many BENEFITS for the environment while motorsport pollutes the atmosphere. And the public inconvineince that motorsport causes ie. Traffic restrictions during the clipsal 500, is just ridiculous where shooting has not detrimental effects on the general public. Yet one receives millions of dolloars of investment from the government and is called a national sport and the other is demonised by society. If you ask me they have it the wrong way around

Good read.

Bentman,

Was about to post the same NIOA message as a stand alone topic. I think it is worth it to get the message out as its not just about the Adler.

Not to steal your thunder, just some people are sick of hearing about the Adler and may miss the content and contacts.

Cheers.

It was also revealed last week that the suspension of the import of the Adler 7 Shot Shotgun was instigated when every single State Police Minister personally requested that Minister Keenan suspend the importation of the firearm. None of the Ministers had sought any information about the firearm from industry, none of them had seen the gun and it has become apparent that their decision was based on the misguided belief that the firearm had some new technology that allowed the lever to operate faster than traditional lever action firearms. This has since been demonstrated to be untrue and exposed as a myth being peddled by the extremist group Gun Control Australia and the Greens.

Why are we not surprised

They read on the internet that it was bad so it must be true
