Chip In $10

You're not going to believe what they consider a rapid fire gun. And that's not enough for them. They are banning even more.

But a pro-gun independent senator warned Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull that the move will add to the government’s difficulty in getting legislation through the Senate.

Turnbull was commenting on the fate of the Adler A110 shotgun, a Turkish-manufactured lever-action weapon that was banned from importation last year as an Australian gun dealer was taking orders to sell hundreds.

The Adler can fire eight shots as fast as pump-action shot guns, which are a highly restricted category of rapid-fire gun under national regulations designed to limit the risk of mass shootings.

Gun-control advocates see that as a legal loophole that became widely known only through the advertising surrounding the Adler.
