    Even in Russia, people are not being shot on the streets: detained, beaten up, etc - yes (I’m not saying this is good of course), but not shot. The US quickly took the lead in some of the dystopian stuff.

        It’s not Putin who banned something, guns were historically harder to own in Russia, and USSR before.
        And gun ownership doesn’t really help in the US right now. People sit with their guns being quiet.

        Most civilized countries ban or severely limit gun ownership.
        As does Russia.
        The US has always been the outlier in that regard.

          right, here in Canada, you don’t have the right to bear arms, but you can own a firearm for certain purposes. one of them is not killing others or for self-defense. You also need to take a course and have a psych eval. I know for one, i would fail because i have BPD.
