The Minister for Justice has just extended the temporary ban on the Adler A110 lever-action shotgun.
Unless state and territory leaders agree to make it permanent at the next Council of Australian Governments meeting, the ban will be lifted.
Now is the time to let your Premier or Chief Minister know how you feel about gun control in Australia.
Over 26,000 of you have already signed our petition calling for the integrity of Australia’s National Firearms Agreement to be maintained.
The Alannah & Madeline Foundation will make sure your voice is heard by taking your signatures to Canberra.

Subject: Keep gun laws strong
Dear [Premier/Chief Minister]
I write to urge you to maintain the integrity of Australia’s gun control laws at the upcoming Council of Australian Governments meeting.
The National Firearms Agreement has served the Australian community well for over two decades but advances in technology are putting this at risk.
Specifically, lever action shotguns like the Adler A110 - which have the capacity to fire up to 8 shots in quick succession - could be legally imported into Australia.
Since the introduction of the National Firearms Agreement in 1996, there have been no mass shootings in Australia. In the decade prior there were 11.
Australia’s gun control laws are the envy of the world and we should not take a backwards step.
Yours sincerely, [Name]
The Prime Minister is expected to meet with Premiers and Chief Ministers in November to discuss gun control.
This letter makes it clear that you want strong gun control laws in Australia, now and in the future.
Thanks for your support.
