Wouldn’t that impugn that whole communism thingy?
“no dependency problems with drugs or alcohol addiction”
That rules out about 90% of Russians.
While this is undoubtedly a move in the right direction, the phrasing here makes me think that perhaps our former Soviet "comrades" still don't get it.
The right to protect one's self and one's family using the best means available isn't "given"... it's inherent. The fact that this right isn't currently recognized by the Russian government is an abuse against the people, not a norm.
But at least they're moving in the right direction. I wish I could say the same about the Obama-bamboozled masses right here in the good ol' U. S. of A.
Russians HAVE the right to bear arms; it comes from their Creator, just like our right to bear arms doe.
The fact that they are DENIED this right is another matter, but no one GIVES them, or me, the right to keep and bear arms.
A critical distinction.
In fact Russians de-facto has right to own arms right now.
They can legally bear a variety of arms prohibited in US as ‘assault weapons’.
Their lawmakers aren’t busy to outlaw pistol grips, detachable mags, folding stocks, muzzle breaks etc.
Any rifle or shotgun is legal as soon as it is longer than some 30 inches, 50 or less cal (larger ones are considered artillery for military purpose)and unable to fire full auto.
Short guns like revolvers and pistols are tricky to own but there are still some ways to own it legally of you want it badly.
