Guns are illegal in Russia. This is impossible.

Overview of gun laws by nation
Wikipedia
Russia
Russian citizens over 18 years of age can obtain a firearms licence after attending gun-safety classes and passing a federal test and background check. The licence is for five years and may be renewed. Firearms may be acquired for self-defense, hunting, or sports activities. Carrying permits may be issued for hunting firearms licensed for hunting purposes. Initially, purchase is limited to smooth-bore long-barred firearms and pneumatic weapons with a muzzle energy of up to 25 joules (18 ft⋅lbf). After five years of shotgun ownership, rifles may be purchased. Handguns are generally not allowed. Rifles and shotguns with barrels less than 800 mm (31 in) long are prohibited, as are firearms that shoot in bursts and have more than a 10-cartridge capacity. Suppressors are prohibited. An individual cannot possess more than ten guns (up to five shotguns and up to five rifles) unless they are part of a registered gun collection.[90]

Are you allowed guns in Russia?

...and, besides, we’ve told by Important and Authoritative Government Representatives that this sort of thing happens ONLY in America!

Looks like a double barreled shotgun with a barrel that’s over 31 inches long.

Guns are VERY difficult to get in Russia.

So much for THAT argument.

Gunmen massacred Christians in Egypt as well. Even a repressive Egyptian government can’t seem to stop bad people from getting guns.

Vlad is part of the problem. Has so mishandled political situations of Chechnya and Dagestan and often at the expense of the rest of Russia.

Memory eternal - for the women, most of whom were probably babushkas.

And as for the attacker - somehow I just knew we were going to see the demon Allah pop up in there.

Vlad will probably take action resulting in extreme depopulation of certain societal segments in the immediate region.

It will be a “now you see them - now you don’t” event with no one asking any questions like ‘where the hell is Abdul?’.

Adam Schiff to Pres. Trump:

Please refuse to collude with Russians until they have a conversation about common sense gun control!
