The SSAA has written an open letter to Justice Minister Michael Keenan about the Federal Government’s decision to ‘temporarily’ ban the importation of the Adler A110 lever-action shotgun.

The SSAA is shocked by Prime Minister Tony Abbott’s decision, and has already spoken to Minister Keenan’s Chief of Staff to express our displeasure, given that no consultation with shooting groups or the importer Nioa has taken place.

We will be raising the issue in our meeting with the Attorney-General’s office, and the Justice Minister again, within the fortnight.
