I certainly never thought I would see the day. What are Russia’s laws on firearms, abortion, and immigration like?

Immigration is easy, but well regulated I think (not sure). Gun laws are restrictive, but much better than most other European nations,

According to Russia’s gun laws, Russian citizens can buy smoothbore shotguns, such as, for example Saiga 12, gas pistols, or revolvers shooting rubber bullets. Safe use of one of the above weapons for five years allows purchase of a rifle or carbine.[89]

In Moscow alone, some 400,000 people legally keep 470,000 weapons.[89]

Abortion is legal under all circumstances. Russia had the highest number of abortions per woman of child-bearing age in the world according to UN data of 2004

So, Russia actually sucks for conservatives, but in a few years, things might change. Definitely encouraging to see them putting homosexuality back in the closet. Maybe some other nations will follow. I know Uganda passed some laws on it recently.
