Chicago is trying really hard to make up the deficit.

There are fewer than 13 million legally owned firearms in circulation in Russia, compared with an estimated 300 million in the United States.

There, fixed it.

>>>It’s illegal for Russian citizens to own automatic and semi-automatic guns.<<<

Bullcrap. 60% civilian shotguns and rifles in Russia are built around AK.
Saiga, Vepr etc. Prohibited in US - an SVD semi-auto milspec sniper rifle sells as a civilian ‘Tiger’ rifle in Russia.
Bolt-action guns are very rare there, mostly imports.

And Russia has no Amish people.

BTW, Russian homicides are way too different comparing to US.
95% are domestic or drunk disputes between siblings.
Street homicide, armed robbery leading to a death of a victim are state-level emergencies. I mean if a gas station in Pacific region was robbed at gunpoint it makes headlines in Moscow 5000 miles away.
I’m not telling you can walk in a bad neighborhood at night without any risk but the chance to get mugged is about 10 times lower than in a good old US. A chance to get killed in process is close to zero.
