Gun control group's leader reports controversial shooting video to police

Two Queensland enthusiasts could be investigated by police after posting a video of a man firing rapidly at an effigy of the leader of an Australian gun control group.

In a video posted to YouTube in June, a key representative of 'Shooting Stuff Australia' demonstrates the capabilities of the controversial Adler lever action shotgun.

The man first fires at several full bottles of soft drink, with the vision slowed down to highlight the shotgun's effectiveness.

In a second attempt to show what the Adler magazine extension is capable of doing, the man rapidly fires at an effigy of Gun Control Australia leader Sam Lee until the doll catches alight.

Gun Control Australia have been campaigning for a permanent importation ban of the shotguns, which are capable of firing eight shots in eight seconds.

"Marty" of Shooting Stuff Australia posted his response to an ABC journalist's enquiry about the video onto the group's Facebook page on Monday.

"We don't talk to the media in regards to our videos, biased anti-gun media in Australia is incapable of reporting in a truthful manner about firearms related matters," he wrote.

"'All of our videos are light hearted satire made for entertainment purposes' is the only comment we will make."

In an email to nine.com.au, "Marty" claimed "no offense was intended, nor was any malice."

"At no stage have we been contacted by anyone asking us to remove the video, and if we had, we would have pulled it from YouTube if we knew it was hurting anyone's feelings," Marty said in an email to nine.com.au.

However, Ms Lee told the ABC that she believes the video was designed to threaten and silence advocates of gun control.

"This video is vile," Ms Lee said.

"I was shocked there was such a brazen, personal approach to this video trying to silence voices in relation to the Adler campaign."

Ms Lee said the video has been reported to police in NSW and Queensland.

She is asking them to investigation whether the video constitutes the use of a carriage service to menace and harass.

nine.com.au have reached out to Gun Control Australia for comment, but none was provided prior to publication.
