      You do realize when you say you have the right to self defence and want to buy guns at Walmart that the people you’re trying to defend against can also buy them at Walmart and makes it much likelier that you will need to defend yourself against them.
      When you have balls and don’t live in America you don’t feel the need to walk around armed as if you live in a war zone. You guys should try it I’m sure Russia has a lot less shootings in schools, playground, malls, parades, gas stations and countless other places because of their gun laws and they actually have rise. up against their government at least twice to take it down.
      Thinking that giving everyone a gun allows them to defend themselves is like thinking if everyone has a pool no one will drown. Easy guns, lots of murders. I think that’s been more than proven in the US case. No modern country in the rest of the world has the amounts of shootings the richest country in the world with all its self-defence rights has. Invest in providing for the people and watch how little self defence you’ll need instead of having little forts of overly wealthy people surrounded by a war zone. Just an idea you’ve made it this far as a nation maybe it can go on for another 250 years. Violence begets violence. Don’t get me wrong I don’t understand why you feel as you do, I would feel the same in America. Every time I visit I’m waiting to be shot or robbed but that’s the problem.

    in Croatia it is almost the same.. you can opt for sports shooting (which limit some weapon types and usage) or for hunting, selfdefense is almost impossible.. past background check from ministry of interior and all medicals including psycho-test, hunting test, animals and ballistics theory.. only different thing is we dont have this 5 year of smooth bore owning before you can by a rifled gun.. if its legal to posses as per gun law you can buy it on the first day of having a licence.. and of course immediately go report it to ministry of interior for registration, you have i think 8 days from purchase.. unlike some EU countries we cannot own suppressors/silencers..

I took my exam at the end of last year, a practical and theoretical part, for a normal For thinking people, the exam isn't a problem. Now I just have to collect my shooting dates to get my first weapon. 12 months shooting 18 entries. Then you can buy a lot of things here. The basic quota is 2 pistols/revolvers, 3 semi-automatic long guns e.g. Ar15 etc. and ten repeating rifles lever action rifles. If you want more, you have to prove that you use it for competitions. What's bad is that we have to buy expensive safes.

    It was a remarkably interesting and enlightening video. I would like to know more about what the average Russian hunter and shooter uses in the field. What is the most common shotgun used for hunting birds and small game? What about bears and moose? I am not sure what kind of deer are in Russia but what is used for that type of game? I have looked at some Russian hunting forums and several hunters like semi auto firearms based on the AK type of action in larger calibers.
    The bureaucracy that one must go through is interesting. In all honesty, in the US that would not be tolerated too well. Most gun laws are at the state level. Since there are 50 states there are 50 sets of gun laws. It really depends on where you live or travel to. As an example, here in Wyoming I can lawfully shoot at varmints out of a vehicle on a two track dirt road. In my old home state of Massachusetts, if caught, I would face a hell of a fine and loss of my license to carry. Here in Wyoming you do not need a license to carry a firearm openly or concealed. But you do need a hunting license for small and big game as well as other types of game. Coyotes and prairie dogs( a type of large ground squirrel) one can shoot without any kind of license as they are classified as a pest.

      Она не упомянула, что по новым правилам можно первые два года только ружья с одним или двумя стволами без сменного или подствольного места для картриджей. После двух лет стажа появляется возможность покупать всё виды ружей. Для охоты в основном используют ружья 12 калибра.. Мп- 18 одноствольных, мп 27 двухствольные, и мп 155 полуавтоматические.. Всего 5 едениц можно для охоты. Если владелец хочет больше, то получает "коллекционные" лицензии, с этими ружьями он не может охотится.
      После 5 лет стажа владения оружием можно покупать винтовки. И для охоты уже может владеть 10 экземплярами оружия. В любом сочетании количества ружей и винтовок.
      Пистолеты и револьверы простым гражданам нельзя. Ими могут только наградить за особые заслуги перед страной.
      Граждане вместо пистолета чаще всего покупают болтовое ружьё 20 калибра с коротким стволом и складным прикладом: тоз-106. У меня такое есть. Я увлечён идеями выживания)
      Если вы не утомились, то спрашивайте что вам интересно узнать ещё.
      Ах да охотничья лицензия на кабана стоит примерно 300$, на лося 700$.

      If the right to bear arms wasn't enumerated in the American Constitution, our weapons laws would be far more restricted than even Russia. American bureaucrats hate the 2A

    They (Russia) needs a military exception, i.e.; if you join the militia and serve after regular military service for 2-3 years and stay on reserve for several years. All the BS hunting license is a deterrence that those that want to break up Russia have made part of law.

    this was interesting ... seems difficult to own a firearm in Russia .. and even more difficult to maintain the certification.. yet, I could see this system working if there was prepartory classes to educate new shooters to the sport ..

      In rural areas there is many unregistered funs available, in some regions even make their own guns illegally, alrthough its less common now and illegal guns are easy to get, mostly ak47s, sks and nagant rifles and shotguns, illegal handguns are common in the caucasus too. I think ive seen 100 or more illegal pistols in 2 years in dagestan. In tuva for example the majority of houses have a gun but few have a permit mostly ak47s and sks rifles. It depends where you are, in regional areas its common, the russians in moscow, st petersburg ect its pretty well regulated.
