~Lazamataz posted the actual gun control laws of RF here. Can you read? My statement “no legal private gun ownership in the Russian Federation at all, except for hunters or BB guns” is exactly correct.~
Not to the point like it is in NYC. You won’t ever hear a story about someone getting jailed for years for a gun in your luggage there.
There are numerous loopholes in their legislation allowing you to carry a handgun openly. And in the south with their muslin problem KGB distributes military grade assault rifles to local populace who props border agents in fending off illegal aliens and deal with domestic mohamedans. Almost everyone has an AK there and police is overlooking it.
Penalties for gun-related violations are a joke in the rest of the country as well. Technically there is up to 8 years in prison for illegal arms trade (much less for possession) but you would have to trade a nuke or a dozen of tanks to get real term.
I never compared anything about NYC.
numerous loopholes in their legislation
My comment was on what is the legislation, not what loopholes exist contrary to it.
