John Howard was a true leader but we still shouldn’t forget that he disarmed the people of Australia.

He didn’t.

I’m an Australian gun owner, and John Howard didn’t disarm us.

Yes, I had to do a lot of paperwork, but it’s not the same thing.

The impact of Australia’s gun laws have been grossly exaggerated in the US - they are far from ideal, but they’re not that bad to deal with.

You can own basic longarms very easily, and handguns and semi-autos without too much difficulty.

Machine guns are really hard, but even that is technically not impossible.

Wrong. Again. At least your persistent and consistent.
