We have a genuine conservative. And from all I can see, a good man.

Will he help the people get their guns back?

Never mind, Abbott is a gun-grabber.

I've already got one of these:

and one of these:

as well as a couple of basic hunting rifles.

I don't need anybody to give me my guns back, because they never took them away. That is a myth that has been spread around in America for domestic political purposes.

Australia does have some overly restrictive gun laws - universal registration and tiered licencing. Amending those has not been an issue in this campaign, and so I don't know what Abbott's position is on them. It's not considered a major conservative issue in Australia - we don't have an equivalent of your second amendment, so it's not a constitutional issue which would make it much more important, because conservatives expect the constitution to be followed. But also, those who want to own guns focus on doing the things you need to do to own them within the law, rather than worrying too much about the laws. I'd like to see the laws relaxed, but we're not America, and our attitudes are not the same on this.
