I guess everyone in Russia has a full auto AK-47? No Class III license required?
ONly special people get machine guns. it is possible to get a shotgun after a 5 year wait. And a rifle maybe possible after more waiting after getting a shotgun. Unless you are special person...IE Putin and friends. I bet they can have all they want. Pistols seem to be never. I can not figure out how they handle .22 pistols. Maybe via clubs.
But this is some sort of government event. You can not play with this crap at home. But you maybe required to use them to defend the mother land. So they do teach how to maintain AK74's in high school. Maybe even earlier. But private use is mainly shotguns if able to get even that.
