ok semi-autos havent been banned first of all. can still get semi auto shotguns and rifles as long as they hold less than 5 rounds and cant be upgraded to hold more so all our hunting rifles aren't included in the new regulations. . all theyve done is move some types of rifles from A class to E class so just need a different licence to get these rifles. to get the E class licence you just need to prove a use for the rifles such as shooting comp or pest control.
