      They're criminals so they'll be using the superior pump action design and hitting targets whilst rapidly reloading unlike the people that follow Australia's moronic gun laws.

          It's actually the Ned Flanders types that are tedious.
          Panicking and outraging against things they think are dangerous, and ohmigosh won't somebody think of the children kneejerk reponses.

          The gun laws work. Nothing moronic about them, and because of them, we do not have the situation America has, where gun crime is an actual problem.
          Australia leads the world in smart gun laws, and whilst there will always be contention around something like this, the fact remains that we have successfully balanced the needs and concerns of the majority, without excessively penalising the minority.

          Yep it's a $500 gun selling for $800 because the greens have tried to ban it. My 60 year old Mossberg bolt action shotgun shoots faster and better than this Turkish made shotgun and my old Mossberg has negligible recoil. These Turkish guns kick like mules.
          However, at $500, which is what they will be worth soon, I'd consider one for pest control on a farm….

          @jovialjosie2002: I've heard heaps of people say that they can fire a bolt action faster than a pump or a lever action firearm. It is usually absolute bollocks. Moving quickly, I can fire a bolt action rifle every three seconds. Lever action closer to a second and a half and pump action shotgun two to three rounds per second.

          Sure, you might be superman on the bolt action, but even if you were you would presumably still be superman on the pump or lever action as well, so lever action or bolt action would still be quicker.

          For what its worth, it was strange that you could previously buy any shotgun no matter how powerful on a Category A weapons licence as long as it wasn't a pump, whereas you were limited to rimfire rifles (basically .22s) which are the weakest rounds commonly available.

          The gun laws are still weird. You can still buy any break or bolt action shotgun on a Cat A licence. It wont be fast as a lever action but still plenty lethal, way more lethal than the 0.22 rifle which is the most you can basically buy.

          However, the success of the gun laws post Port Arthur isn't because of the restriction and weapon classifications, but instead the requirements that all shooters be licensed, demonstrate some understanding of responsible gun ownership and have some reason for needing the firearm (such as belonging to a gun club). These modest requirements basically kept complete loser dipsticks from easily acquiring a firearm, and most Martin Bryant types tend to be complete loser dipsticks.

          Unfortunately, its difficult to find commonsense, moderate opinions in this space. Most gun advocates are completely hostile to the gun laws, and most control advocates would happily ban all firearms if they could.

          @dsg101:
          https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intention…

          Murder rate per 100,000 inhabitants
          Australia 0.98
          Czech Republic 0.75

          You also don't quote the whole stats from your link.
          Czech Republic: deaths 2.01; of which murders are 0.15, suicides 1.66
          Australia: deaths 0.93; murders 0.16, suicides 0.74

          So Australia has more people murdering with guns, but Czech Republic has more people killing themselves with guns.

          And if you look at suicide rate: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_suicide_r…
          Czech Republic 10.6
          Australia 10.4
          So Australians may not be using guns, but we are still killing ourselves.

        • @cannedhams:

          Talk to the oldies about training with Lee Enfields. They could absolutely churn out shots damn quickly. The British Army's doctrine used to be based around the rate of fire of Lee Enfields too. Apparently there is a technique of shooting Lee Enfields where you work the bolt with your forefinger and thumb and shoot with your pinky…my hands are too small to try this though :(

          @Possumbly:

          There are 30,000 gun related deaths per year by firearms, and this number is not disputed. U.S. population 324,059,091 as of Wednesday, June 22, 2016. Do the math: 0.00000925% of the population dies from gun related actions each year. Statistically speaking, this is insignificant! What is never told, however, is a breakdown of those 30,000 deaths, to put them in perspective as compared to other causes of death:

          • 65% of those deaths are by suicide which would never be prevented by gun laws
          • 15% are by law enforcement in the line of duty and justified
          • 17% are through criminal activity, gang and drug related or mentally ill persons – gun violence
          • 3% are accidental discharge deaths

          So technically, "gun violence" is not 30,000 annually, but drops to 5,100. Still too many? Well, first, how are those deaths spanned across the nation?
          • 480 homicides (9.4%) were in Chicago
          • 344 homicides (6.7%) were in Baltimore
          • 333 homicides (6.5%) were in Detroit
          • 119 homicides (2.3%) were in Washington D.C. (a 54% increase over prior years)

          So basically, 25% of all gun crime happens in just 4 cities. All 4 of those cities have strict gun laws, so it is not the lack of law that is the root cause.

          This basically leaves 3,825 for the entire rest of the nation, or about 75 deaths per state. That is an average because some States have much higher rates than others. For example, California had 1,169 and Alabama had 1.

          Now, who has the strictest gun laws by far? California, of course, but understand, so it is not guns causing this. It is a crime rate spawned by the number of criminal persons residing in those cities and states. So if all cities and states are not created equally, then there must be something other than the tool causing the gun deaths.

          Are 5,100 deaths per year horrific? How about in comparison to other deaths? All death is sad and especially so when it is in the commission of a crime but that is the nature of crime. Robbery, death, rape, assault all is done by criminals and thinking that criminals will obey laws is ludicrous. That's why they are criminals.

          But what about other deaths each year?
          • 40,000+ die from a drug overdose–THERE IS NO EXCUSE FOR THAT!
          • 36,000 people die per year from the flu, far exceeding the criminal gun deaths
          • 34,000 people die per year in traffic fatalities(exceeding gun deaths even if you include suicide)

          Now it gets good:
          • 200,000+ people die each year (and growing) from preventable medical errors. You are safer in Chicago than when you are in a hospital!

          • 710,000 people die per year from heart disease. It’s time to stop the double cheeseburgers! So what is the point? If Obama and the anti-gun movement focused their attention on heart disease, even a 10% decrease in cardiac deaths would save twice the number of lives annually of all gun-related deaths (including suicide, law enforcement, etc.). A 10% reduction in medical errors would be 66% of the total gun deaths or 4 times the number of criminal homicides……Simple, easily preventable 10% reductions!

          So you have to ask yourself, in the grand scheme of things, why the focus on guns? It's pretty simple.:
          Taking away guns gives control to governments.

          The founders of this nation knew that regardless of the form of government, those in power may become corrupt and seek to rule as the British did by trying to disarm the populace of the colonies. It is not difficult to understand that a disarmed populace is a controlled populace.

          Thus, the second amendment was proudly and boldly included in the U.S. Constitution. It must be preserved at all costs.

          So the next time someone tries to tell you that gun control is about saving lives, look at these facts and remember these words from Noah Webster: "Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed, as they are in almost every kingdom in Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword, because the whole body of the people are armed and constitute a force superior to any band of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States. A military force at the command of Congress can execute no laws, but such as the people perceive to be just and constitutional; for they will possess the power."

          Remember, when it comes to "gun control," the important word is “control," not “gun."

        • @cannedhams:
          A lot of people throw out the "shotgun, no matter how powerful" line - keep in mind that a 12GA shotgun in break, bolt, lever, pump or semi-auto all fire the same rounds, so no one is more "powerful" than the other. Also keep in mind the difference between Cat A and Cat B when getting your license is basically nil (speaking for NSW) - yes you may only be allowed rimfire on Cat A, but getting a cat B license is effectively just an extra tick on your form, so changing lever action shotguns from Cat A to Cat B will have little real world effect, aside from confusing things slightly for no real benefit.
          Your lethality argument is also fairly strange - at close range a shotgun has the benefit of basically no need to aim, where a 22LR would need to be aimed (to give you an idea on the lethality, a friend owns a dairy farm and uses a 22LR to put down sick cows, so a well placed shot a short distance is lethal even on a reasonably large animal) - move that distance out to 25m and you need to aim both as the shotgun round is starting to spread more so you need to focus on the target more - out to 50m and beyond and the benefit starts heading more towards the .22LR as shotguns are really intended as close range firearms so the shot starts to spread more, and loses accuracy and speed.

          I completely agree with you on the reasons behind the success of the post PA gun laws being the licensing, training/testing and genuine reasons - these I (and a lot of other gun owners) have no issues with - the problem is the govt continue their knee jerk banning/reclassifying of firearms without any evidence based reasoning.

          It's almost like trying to Jedi mind trick people with numbers to try to divert key logical errors.

          The article begins with gun related fatality statistics at the beginning of the article. The problem is they seem to infer that 'all gun crime' involves death.

          Unfortunately they forget that guns are also used for other types of crime (which also can cause physical and psychological harm that aren't covered in fatality statistics)

          There are other further problems but as I'm in a hurry, I wonder how many people get threatened with flu as a weapon.. 'Give me all your money! Otherwise I'll give you flu'!!

        • Syringes have been used coercively many times. Flu, HIV, Hep, cordial…yikes.

        • @FiftyCal: Even having absolutely no regard for accuracy, the time taken to take your hand off, cycle the bolt, put your hands back home again and fire is three seconds. Put that up to five or six seconds if you actually want to aim at something.

        • @cannedhams:

          Cycling the bolt with your thumb and forefinger and pulling the trigger with your pinky allows you to keep the rifle aimed. How well it's done is an art

        • @WazzaP: Its not just the gauge, you might want to fire slug or sabot rounds with that shotgun. For all intents and purposes, a 12GA shotgun firing slug rounds is just as lethal out to about eighty metres as .30 cal rifle rounds.

          I dont think that it makes any sense. If the Cat A licence is basically for people who need an occasional bunny gun, I don't think they should be able to buy 12GA shotguns. Probably a .410 is all they need.

          You dont need a powerful weapon to put down stock, when you are basically firing from 1 yard away. Incidentally, I used a .410 for this very same purpose and it was plenty for putting down horses, dogs etc. Remember when the farmers said that they needed to keep their semi-autos to put down stock? What a load of rubbish that was. Most of those semi-autos were for mucking around on, pure and simple.

          That same .410 was my house gun for a long time. I kept it loaded with birdshot. I had that many arguments with people who said that it wasnt enough. Believe me, it is enough when you are firing at a home invader from 8 yards or less away. I used birdshot because I didnt want to risk punching through two thin layers of fibro and killing the kid next door.

        • @FiftyCal: Yeah, but how many Martin Bryant loser dipstick types tend to fit in that category? For 99% of us, its going to be way slower firing a bolt action than a lever or pump.

        • @cannedhams:

          Here's a few more facts which might open your eyes, although I very much doubt it: https://www.thetrace.org/2016/12/gun-violence-statistics-201… There are plenty more for anyyone interested in the realities of gun violence in the good old USA.

          The fact that most people die of heart disease, etc etc has nothing whatsoever to do with the risks of firearms in society as the reports of mass shootings, shootings at schools regularly attests in a so called advanced society. Your paranoia is noted however and is a regular feature of some who defend their right to bear arms capable of taking down a whole classroom within minutes. The fact is that many advocates of gun ownership are precisely those who should be prevented from obtaining guns because of their mentality - including in some cases an intense fear of democratically elected governments.

          When it comes to gun control the important words are GUNS, and easy access. "Control" in the American context is next to non-existent in all practical senses.

          @cannedhams:
          Yes you can use slugs and sabots, but again a 12GA is a 12GA, the Adler is no more or less powerful than any other 12GA, nor is it more accurate, or more capable of running slugs than any other shotgun.

          And you're incorrect about the reason for the cat A - it's not "for people who need an occasional bunny gun", it's for people who need access to a rimfire rifle, air-rifle, or a shotgun. Now you'll have Cat A for rimfire rifle and bolt/break open shotguns and Cat B for centre fire rifles and lever shotguns up to 5 rounds (and presumably falling block, being that it mostly resembles a "lever" action despite being single shot). Why should someone be limited to a .410 just because you think they don't need a 12GA? You do realise that even if they changed the laws to make 12GA Cat B only the only change it will make is more people getting Cat A and B, rather than actually preventing anyone from getting a 12GA (hell, NSW announced that due to the recategorisation of the Adler to Cat B, anyone who currently has an Adler and has Cat A only will automatically be changed to Cat A and B). Is someone less dead because they were killed by a 410 instead of a 12GA? Personally I'd rather they focus on preventing the criminals from getting ANY firearms, rather than somehow hoping that a crim that somehow is allowed a firearms license will only tick the Cat A option.

          As for farmers wanting to keep semi-autos - I highly doubt any farmer would want a semi-auto for putting down stock, far more likely they wanted them for pest control. Not sure what hobby farms you've been around, but a little .410 loaded with birdshot isn't going to take down a mob of pigs, nor are they going to hang around long enough for you to cycle your bolt, which is where a semi-auto comes in handy.

          Ahhh, now I see. Without dissecting your blatantly ignorant sentence, your fact is in fact not a fact but merely an opinion based on "numerous gun discussions across the web". Niiiice work champion!!

          My view on firearms (not a fact, just a personal view) started well before the internet when we were taught at a young age how to safely and responsibly handle a rifle, shown the damage a single bullet can do and why firearms rarely anything like Hollywood would have you believe. No too many gun nuts back then…not too many anti gun prancing fairies either.

          Many decades later, while I'll admit there are some d!ckheads I've come across who shouldn't be allowed to hold a firearm, the overwhelming majority of nutters I've met are the anti gun fanatics who've never fired a round and form their opinion on anything but the facts.

          Overall the majority of Australians are sensible with guns. If you have a problem with gun crime in this country, lobby the government for stricter border control because that's where the crims get their hands on them.

        • @jovialjosie2002:
          The Turks make some of the best guns in the world and the Adler is quite a popular item.

        • @OzBragain: Comprehension problems AND lack of life experience is never a good mix. My response was unequivocally to the rambling rubbish written by Wisc in regard to the American problem - where guns are awash in society and regulation is rubbish, as anyone with even a basic knowledge of the situation there should know. In your case it's difficult to know what you understand about the gun lobby and the advantages of gun control/limitation of firearm numbers in societies, but a little bit of reading on the topic will help no end. In Australia, as in the USA, MOST registered gun owners are responsible. They are rarely the ones encountered on forums arguing for gun rights. I doubt you have the foggiest about the psychology of gun ownership or the well known "weapons effect" and judging from your responses I also doubt you have any interest in expanding your knowledge but in case you do I suggest you google 'gun psychology', 'reasons for gun ownership', and 'gun statistics'. A lot of things are obvious but as you need to be spoonfed you'll find plenty of good analysis to keep you occupied. Your last par shows just how ignorant you are. Google 'gun theft' and get a clue. If it's not too much try cogitating on the results of the UK Firearms ACT and the Howard response to the Tasmanian massacre. There's a whole lot more but as the saying goes, Rome wasn't built in a day.

        • @Possumbly:

          Comprehension problems AND lack of life experience is never a good mix.

          Spending your days reading internet forums does not constitute life experience. Back away from the keyboard and head out to a range and chat to people face to face. Take a trip out of suburbia and meet some of the Aussie who grow the food you buy in nice neat little packages and see what you learn about poncy little catch phrases like "weapons effect", 'gun psychology', 'reasons for gun ownership', and 'gun statistics'. You might even learn a thing or two about firearms and realise that they're not as scary as you've seen in the movies or read on the interweb.

          My response was unequivocally to the rambling rubbish written by Wisc in regard to the American problem

          Doesn't matter if you were responding unequivocally to the existence of an advance race of potato people on Pluto. You've made a BS claim that "many advocates of gun ownership are precisely those who should be prevented from obtaining guns because of their mentality" and tried to dress it up as a fact. If it's a fact you can back it up. If not then just accept you were wrong and move along.

          I asked you to back up something you claimed as fact and all I'm reading is the standard drivel and deflection of the anti gun fruits…emotion and opinion mixed in with a few lies claiming to be hard facts.

          I've had a good laugh seeing you try to squirm out of providing any substance to your pretend facts and for that I thank you. Feel free to have the last word, no one will think any less of you for regurgitating more anti gun propaganda and trying to spin it as superior intellect.

          @OzBragain: Handling a gun apparently makes you an expert on gun safety and the attitudes of all gun owners and advocates. Hilarious. Your ignorance just gets better with every response. I'm well aware that certain groups need access to a firearm, certainly don't need a wet behind the ears gun nut to tell me the obvious. Checked out gun theft did you? Not likely because it doesn't fit your quaint little world of ignorance. Instead of dribbling over your fav calibre weapon and displaying your ignorance on a forum you'd be far better off familiarising yourself with some facts, although the myriad analysis and discussion on guns in society are really aimed at people who actually have a capacity for thought so you may be wasting your time. I've already indicated where you can find ample evidence of the mentality of many gun advocates (as against owners - you see that difference?) but it's apparently beyond your capacity. Not unexpected.

          @Possumbly:
          As someone who goes on forums to debate about gun rights and is pro gun, I am offended by your accusation that I am a wet behind the ears nutjob. I also find it funny that your "evidence" is basically "just google it yourself". I guess the scientific journal articles that I have co authored should just list "google it yourself" in the reference list.

          My position is that we should stop punishing lawful responsible firearms owners and punish the irresponsible ones and criminals. Laws are increasingly targeted at lawful owners and do nothing to punish actual criminals, because much of these laws are written by people with absolutely no understanding of firearms at all. I am all for stronger gun laws to punish the criminals, but I am also for softer laws for the responsible owners.

          As an example, semi automatic pistols are required to have a barrel length of 120mm or more. 119mm? Illegal. 120mm, legal. Total length is irrelevant. Total size is irrelevant. I have no idea where they got the 120mm mark at all, but their justification was to basically make easily concealed pistol illegal. Even before this law, I knew nobody with an "easily concealed" pistol. Hell, this law came about due to the Monash University shooting, which was performed by a mentally ill person using guns that are mostly still legal, so clearly this law would not have prevented the shooting and was just a kneejerk reaction which punished the wrong people. I'm all for a psych evaluation as part of licensing, but the lawmakers would prefer to make arbitrary decisions based on no knowledge because of "muh feels".

          Oh, and I know plenty of sane responsible firearms advocates. And I know gun owners who are absolute morons and should never own a gun let alone a car yet they are not doing anything illegal by word of law. Likewise, I know sane responsible anti gunners and I know moron anti gunners. Gun owners are like any population. You get the good ones and you get the morons. Like any law, we should be punishing the morons not everyone.

          @FiftyCal: Have another look. I didn't read your comment let alone reply to you, but now that you've weighed in….

          Your last par is sensible and I agree (almost) totally. That said, if just this one par below is any indication then you have no idea whatsoever. The second sentence in particular is complete bollocks, but a fairly typical uninformed and populist notion. It displays a total lack of knowledge of how gun laws (or laws of any sort for that matter) are developed and enacted, and subsequently policed.

          My position is that we should stop punishing lawful responsible firearms owners and punish the irresponsible ones and criminals. Laws are increasingly targeted at lawful owners and do nothing to punish actual criminals, because much of these laws are written by people with absolutely no understanding of firearms at all. I am all for stronger gun laws to punish the criminals, but I am also for softer laws for the responsible owners.

          I don't know what your concept of "softer" laws for responsible owners is (slack storage security? fewer checks? more access to higher powered/automatic weapons which the vast majority likely don't need?) but you might want to contemplate where criminals get some of their guns and what effect "softer" laws might have on the total numbers of guns in our society (and the likely results of same).

        And those who report happily tuck into their lamb roast tonight. On second thought maybe they're having lentil stew. In any case, they benefit from farmers being able to control feral animals on their properties.

          Oh please… Most farmers use rifles. Who the hell wants to get into shotgun range of a feral animal?

        • they benefit from farmers being able to control feral animals on their properties.

          Not if the farmers follow the law they don't. See because you cannot store ammunition and firearms in the same location the pests have usually run off by the time the farmer has retrieved items from 2 seperate locations and loaded the weapon after unlocking boxes and/or a trigger guard.

        • +9

          @ryang: you really have no idea. Plenty of farmers use shotguns as they perfect for rabbits/foxes/pigs. they also don't have a problem getting in range of feral animals

        • @Diji1: I thinking his talking about actively hunting Feral animals.

        • @ryang: they use hacks

        • @Hayesy22:

          Nah not really $2 shells vs Rifle rounds. As for pigs and a shotgun, not ideal!

          Close range in an urban setting though - perfect!

        • @ryang:

          Oh please… Most farmers use rifles

          I've met over 100 farmers who have shotguns. How many have you met that don't have and use a shotgun?

          Rubbish, that is only storage law.
          When your on the farm, with the firearm in your hand, you can carry to rifle loaded, and with as much ammo on you as you can carry.

          @heal: Grew up in the country. Family and friends are farmers. Sure - most own a shotgun, but none of them would use it over a rifle.

        • @heal: You don't shoot ducks with rifles

        • +1

          @Hayesy22: With all due respect, your statement is idiotic. No one would use a shotgun to control foxes. Rabbits-yes. Foxes-no. I live in the country and all the shooting you hear at night is rifle. I've never heard anyone claim they hunted foxes with shotguns. The only time I've known of it is when one of the bastards has been caught in with the chooks. Baits, spotlights and rifles are how it's done. Even PestSmart.org says "12-gauge shotguns with heavy shot sizes of No. 2, SSG, BB or AAA (within a 20- metre distance only)". You'd be lucky to get within shotgun distance of a fox a few times a year.

          @Consumer Sheep: my statement is idiotic? I live in the country and I also Hunt. While its true spotlighting at night is done with mostly done with rifle but other then that you obviously have no idea about fox hunting. Im guessing you have never heard of a fox drive before? here is some information https://ssaa.org.au/stories/hunting-conducting-a-fox-drive.h… very popular type of fox hunting that accounts for many scalps using shotguns. Another way can be used shotguns are used is when fox calling.

          Calling my statement idiotic is just ignorant

        • @Consumer Sheep:

          Exactly. A lot of rice farmers where I live.

        • @Diji1:
          A moving target is pretty much the exact reason to use a shotgun…

          In the West I dont know of many farmers that shoot ducks…
