SHOTGUN BAN: The Victorian Government is using ’fear’ to drive gun policy

WE RUN through new laws the Allan Government has introduced which will limit who can use a type of shotgun - using a new policy based on 'opportunistic misuse'.  That's a policy that is now creeping into the world of bolt-action firearms with no limits.
