There are more serious issues like the drug epidemic, than a lever action firearm. Please let's not be hypocrites.

I am sick and tired of ignorant politicians making stupid gun laws that only effect licenced owners.

How about we start at the source of the problem instead of shuffling deck chairs while the ship continues to sink.
How about we hold the judges accountable for not incarcerating the scumbags & allowing them back on the street to commit further offences.......like the Martin place incident.
It is a diversionary tactic to try & hide a Gov't stuff up!
Gun control has nothing to do with guns.......It is only about control!

There is no raging gun problem in this country and no need for knee jerk reactions.If the Liberal government wan to go down the path of the nanny state like John Howard then they will lose votes simple.Lever action shotguns are not new to this country mayube Abbott only just discovered them but they have been here forever and serve a legitimate purpose.You can have mine Tony when you prise them from my cold dead hands.

After jumping through the hoops and patiently waiting for close to 9 months to obtain my license 2 years ago, to fulfill my lifelong dream of owning my very own lever action .22lr (my fondest memories were of simply plinking at cans at a friends farm), this government has decided to upend the legislation yet again, to punish "licensed Law Abiding' citizens once again for the abhorrent actions of one person. if the government spent as much time tackling relevant problems in this country such as illegal drugs and criminal entities (which I might add contribute to far more deaths per years than any firearm) perhaps this wouldn't be an issue as the persons that utilise 'illegally obtained' firearms for sinister purposes would be all locked up.

Keep lever action rifles legal and in the same class they currently sit. It is not law abiding licence holding citizens that are dangerous with these rifles. Criminals will continue to illegally source firearms, outlawing lever action firearms will not reduce gun crime nor its severity.

It's a poor leader that seeks to disarm a loyal people. Why punish innocent gun owners for the action of a criminal?
