>>I wonder if Russia would be so bold if every Ukranian citizen had a high quality sniper rifle or scary assault rifle with high capacity magazines.<<
In fact neither Russia nor Ukraine are discriminating against such. I think SKS and AK (Saiga) are common hunting rifles there. BTW, Kalashnikov are selling SVD on civilian market as Tigr (Tiger) there.
Thanks for the info. I would have used mine by now.
