Labor MP calls for immediate Adler ban
Moreton MP, Graham Perrett, has issued this media release (click here to see it) calling for the Adler A-110 shotgun to be banned immediately.
Mr Perrett says the firearm is “high powered” and can “shoot multiple rounds in rapid succession… faster and more powerful than other models of firearms”, which is and impressive enhancement of its capabilities over category Ds such as the AR-15 and FN P90. He also says it is illegal which it is, of course, not.
The other curious thing about this is Mr Perrett tied his view to the terrorist shooting of a police worker in Parramatta. Apart from the fact that event involved a handgun (the origins of which are now known), you have to wonder how stupid he thinks shooters like you and me are. Very stupid, apparently.
Who is Perrett?
Graham Perrett is the Member for the Queensland seat of Morton. If Labor gets re-elected at next year’s federal election, he could be 2nd in charge for firearms policy.
He needs to be removed from his portfolio. Given his seat is marginal, Parliament, the LNP, LDP, S&FP and KAP all have the opportunity to make their pro-gun votes count.
What can you do about it?
Don’t bother emailing Perrett. His mind is made up.
Email Bill Shorten by clicking here. His team will not be impressed that one of their own is upsetting shooters months out from a federal election.
What should I say?
We don’t believe pro-forma emails work so here are some pointers if you get stuck:
- Mr Perrett needs to get his facts straight: his media release is a cheap attack at gun owners, including those in his electorate.
- Shooters in Moreton would be aghast if they found out what Mr Perrett said – and you’d love to let them know.
Don’t bother saying anything else.
The shorter your email is, the more likely it is to be read by Mr Shorten’s office.
