Pistol economy: how profitable is legalization of weapons?Both the state and citizens can benefit from the arming of the people

Today there are few those who are able to quickly and reliably split society into opposing camps who argue foaming at the mouth, often not finding points of convergence. This is not only the famous triad "Stalin, gays and Jews", but also legalization weapons. Let us set aside its moral and legal aspects and dwell on the economic ones. We are waiting for some interesting discoveries.

20 will be celebrated in December with the first Russian law on weapons. Three years later, the document that approved our right to arm was revised. We got the right to traumatic pistols, hunting rifles and even rifles, with which at least go to war, but lost weapons, perhaps the most interesting thing for any shooter, - “rifled short-barreled firearms”. Simply - pistols and revolvers, which in Russia, in fact, argue themselves hoarse. A year ago, Senator Alexander Torshin came up with a sensational initiative to resolve the shortbridge, motivating this primarily with economic considerations. According to the calculations that he cited, the personal firearms market in five years would have reached the volume of 1,5 trillion rubles.

The amount is impressive, but not marginal. It seems that it can be significantly increased. It is amazing how our state, with its ability to regulate any idea to the point of absurdity and withdraw money from citizens at every step, did not seize upon such a promising and relatively safe initiative as the legalization of short-barreled weapons. It could even monopolize this market, and, paradoxically, society could also benefit.

Anyone who wants to get a weapon, anyway, they will get and will not spare the money, effort and time. On such and need to earn. About 60 000 people a year buy traumatic weapons in Russia. They are arming despite the fact that the uselessness of the "rezinrefs" has become the talk of the town. It seems that these weapons were deliberately allowed to discredit the idea of ​​arming the people: for self-defense traumatic pistols are almost unsuitable, and for tavern fights and shooting point-blank unarmed people - that’s necessary. With an average price of “trauma” in 7500 rubles, we get the market with an annual capacity of 450 million rubles.

Real pistols can cost ten times more, especially if the state imposes a substantial tax on them or monopolizes the sale altogether: this is unlikely to be strongly affected by demand. According to a number of forecasts, the pistol-revolving market may grow by 11% per year. Director of the Institute for the Problems of Globalization, Mikhail Delyagin, asserted that five years after the resolution of the short-barred line, 20% of Russian men and 5% of women would arm them. They will need a lot of ammunition (training, gun shooting, maintenance of shooting skills), the monopolistic producer and exporter of which the state can easily become.

However, we treat one thing - the other is crippled. Having just emerged, the short-barred market will not only nullify the trade in traumatic and gas weapons, but also undermine the business of selling hunting weapons. It is believed that 70% "hunters" hardly ever spent the night in the woods, because they bought weapons for self-defense. Hunting weapons in Russia produce five factories, which, in order to compensate for the losses, will only be profitable to switch to the production of pistols, revolvers and their ammunition. So much for the support of the defense industry, about which we love to talk so much.

Another source of profit could be licensing - tough, expensive and, possibly, also monopolized by the state. A strict system of checks, examinations and issuing permits should simultaneously replenish the treasury and exclude any contact with psychopathic weapons like Major Yevsyukov (who went to the police, despite his mental disorder) and Vinogradov's pharmacy shooter. Recall the experience of the UK, where there is one of the toughest licensing systems: the Briton has to prove that he has no mental problems, is clean before the law and needs a gun (self-defense, by the way, is not considered a valid reason, unlike skeet shooting). The license is issued for five years, after which it is necessary to prove everything in a new way, and each time you lay out 50 pounds just for the “crust”. In the United States, documents for weapons, depending on the state, can cost from 5 to 900 dollars, and all licensing procedures in some places cost in 1000 dollars. It means that the Russian budget even at not the most cannibalistic prices can be replenished by hundreds of millions of rubles annually.

Still, experts offer shooters civil liability insurance - they have already called him “pistol OSAGO”. The proceeds can be used to compensate for damage from weapons-based emergency situations and to equip, for example, the pulley silo systems, which in which case it will be possible to determine in a few minutes who fired from what.

State revenues from the sale of pistols and revolvers can grow due to any restrictions. For example, a weapon can be made “disposable” by prohibiting its resale and allowing citizens to buy only new “trunks”. Take and improve the system adopted, for example, in Mexico. Is the gun tired or hopelessly outdated? Hand it over to the police, where they will destroy it right in front of you, pay the fee, and only then get a new one. The total absence of the "secondary housing" will become an obstacle to the black market, although it will not completely destroy it. He will survive at the expense of criminals, who always have a weapon, and those who do not shine a legitimate purchase of the "trunk". Now, by the way, there are no insoluble problems with the purchase of illegal weapons. Makarov's pistol, long gone out of fashion in the world of crime, can be taken for 100-300 dollars, depending on its state and stories. AK-47? Two hundred bucks, and he is yours. For such trade there are special sites, although it is often engaged in the police and the FSB in order to keep the naive buyer behind bars.

In short, the Russian government is full of opportunities to create a full-fledged, tightly regulated domestic arms market and to receive from this a substantial benefit. There would be a desire! But there is no desire: the Kremlin believes that the population of Russia is “not ready” for the legalization of the short-barrels and the weapons culture is completely devoid of. When it is “ready” and where will this culture come from, if the authorities have always kept people away from effective self-defense weapons, they are not explaining to us. You can check our readiness only by allowing pistols and revolvers, for a start, with any kind of strict restrictions, if we don’t trust ourselves. True, then in the Kremlin they risk losing the monopoly on violence and see on the other side of the red-brick walls armed and therefore much freer and independent people. Americans do not speak for nothing: if the government starts talking about gun control, he is not interested in guns, but in control ...

        This kind of contingent, let's call this process "self-cleaning" self-cleaning in the first six months of the existence of the law) But I think the author of the post had in mind, a very rude and non-cultural stratum of the population, with traumatics, which, on remarks towards their behavior (often boorish and uncultured, and on the road also endangering the lives of others), they get the very same traumatics in view of the poor mind and phimosis of the brain, since they do not admit their mistakes because it is "not like a kid."
        In defense of the author and my lines, I’ll say that my friend tempered the ardor of such an individual with a gun, because he didn’t know that he had a trauma, he would ride alone, would never have thought of getting it in his life, but it was not scary for himself, but for family (((

        An adequate person will not plow right and left. This is already criminally punishable. But in the event of an attack, the person who owns the gun will REALLY stop the attacker. Unlike traumatism. I do not consider pneumatic as a defense weapon.
        A 9mm bullet in the leg or arm will cool the ardor of anyone. And the potential criminal will know this.

          Personally, have you tried to get into the arm or leg of a moving person about five meters away? It is only in the movies that the bandit gets a well-aimed bullet in his hand and throws a weapon. In reality, 99% will shoot at the body, which is extremely fast and with enviable constancy turns into a cooling corpse.

            From pneumatics on a vskidka shot. With sufficient practice, from 5 meters, it is quite possible. In reality, yes, they will aim at the figure.
            Only now when it comes to this, any person who knows how to defend himself will not stand on ceremony. Since here we are talking about life. And now the stupid law on exceeding the necessary defense is hindering adequate protection. And the exact wording does not give a severe punishment. Afraid to kill inadvertently. Which leads to sad consequences.
            I don’t understand at all how it is possible to determine the necessary measure of defense in a stressful situation? Let's say a specially trained person can do this - special forces, airborne forces, hand-to-hand fighters, etc., they were "trained" for this. What about an ordinary person ?? Will ask the attacker what is he going to use? Well, nonsense.

              Right! And they will shoot at an unarmed man who decided to simply clean up a penny for a boor who has a barrel with him. Under the cover of "self-defense", because he is "thin" and cannot fight by definition.

              And now the stupid law on exceeding the necessary defense is preventing adequate protection.

              You hit me with your fist, and I took the drin and hit you on the skull. And what is "stupid" in the law on permissible self-defense, which interprets my actions as exceeding it?
              Each person evaluates the threat in his own way, but this does not mean that it is his subjective critical assessment of the situation that automatically gives him the right of the Lord to allow the other to live.

                And they will shoot at the unarmed, who decided simply to clean the dime of the boor, who has a barrel with him.

                The issue is controversial. And now, in your opinion, the boor does not have the same injuries and will not shoot? It will also provoke! For the trauma is "not fatal", but with a combat one will already think about it.
                You hit me with your fist, and I took drin and hit you on the skull.

                And if I threatened you before banging my fist? And not only to you, but also to your family? This is already changing the alignment. You will knock again and not twice, if I do not calm down. It is so? Or you just take out the barrel and calmly say "climb, get a bullet." The latter will cool the ardor much faster than the drin.
                Each person evaluates the threat in his own way, but this does not mean that it is his subjective critical assessment of the situation that automatically gives him the right of the Lord to allow the other to live.

                I agree. But an adequate person will not take out a gun with a slight threat. When, instead, you can hit drina. The gun will go into action when life or health is in immediate danger.

                In states where laws on the use of firearms have been around for a long time, they are severely punished for shooting unarmed, even if this unarmed can strangle you with one hand. And even the policemen, having not found weapons in the criminal for whom they used their weapons, are very worried about this

              Wedmak totally agree with you.
              I would add that the law is very benevolent to the attacker - I think the very fact of the attack already gives the person the right to defend themselves without thinking about the life and health of the attacker.
              Not long ago I watched a video from PETERSBURG.
              Two stubborn drunks caught up with a guy demanding money and the guy didn’t have a cell phone without hesitation, they stabbed him several times with a knife in the stomach of the poor fellow.
              So I think that in this situation it is necessary to go for a clear violation of the law in order to stay alive which of the scumbags will have to be sent to the other world.
              And such cases are full in our cities and villages.

            I tried. It turns out fine ... everything as the author says.

            Nenad here is spreading thought on the tree. The point is that people are helpless in front of armed bandits and the state, prohibiting the short-barrels incites bandits to use weapons.

              Listen, even well-armed and trained policemen are being killed now, they don’t always have time to respond to the attack, and do you want a passerby to start a shootout with a criminal? I think most people just run away if possible, or do not have time to react. Yes, and without good preparation, you can kill several more passers-by instead of a criminal.

              On the other hand, the offender will act harshly and not give a single chance to the victim, knowing that he is possibly armed.
              Also, in a couple of years we will get "twitchy" policemen who will shoot to kill children who run around in the yard with a toy machine gun, like in the USA.

          Unless you suddenly get a gun in your face and your weapon is under your jacket, belt or purse (in case of an attack on a woman). Have time to get a weapon? Would you risk it? Now, in order to rob you need to have a little bit of physical strength, or a company of several assistants. And with a gun, everyone can do it alone, and from a respectful distance. Robbing with a knife is not easy, you have to get close, and with a gun it is much easier. It’ll only become more dangerous on the streets ...

        Yes. There would have been more cases of shooting in the initial period. In the end, the most reckless were shot, but after this order there would be more. To run into a lead bullet, those wishing to sharply decrease, because the presence of weapons on the face is not written.

Then one of these guys was brutally beaten and put on the counter (he personally determined the route for him by telephone, with the replacement of cars, so that he left the area). The second of the guys left the area immediately. And they live now in a foreign land in fear that they will be found. You with your trunks yourself give the bandits a reason to cash in. I see the only plus in legalization: urbanization of cities will slow down.

      Most of the killings occur on household grounds, kill with kitchen knives. There will be new statistics on domestic murder from pistols, accidents with inept use of weapons, among children. Who will be able to properly store the gun in a cozy one-room apartment with kids. When I open my hunting safe, I have to drive off my boys, curiosity, etc. If there hadn’t been a safe with a combination lock, we would have gotten long ago. To resolve the firearm you need to tighten legislation:
      - strict licensing.
      - increased criminal liability for careless treatment resulting in harm or death.
      - increased criminal liability for the use of weapons for criminal purposes.
      - criminal liability for improper storage, maintenance and loss.

I agree with strict standards one hundred percent, but excuse me, what are 30 years old? That is, at 18 I’ll join the army, defend my country, and I’m ready to die, but I’m still a snot to get a barrel for my defense at 20?!?!

        Economics is, of course, economy, but everything that the author wrote is impracticable. For what you write, you need to again hire an army of officials and create a special ministry. Do we have few officials? Your budget revenues for the most part will go to the maintenance of this new army. What you say about the high cost of weapons is generally absurd. The essence of the legalization of weapons in its accessibility to every ordinary person for their protection. If the weapon is expensive, only the elite will have it. Will this add security to you? Therefore, if the arms market grows, then the price of it will fall, which means that weapons will be available more and more. And we will come to the fact that in universities, at stops, streets and schools they will shoot our loved ones. I am opposed, I believe that there will be little efficiency, many cite death statistics in the USA and here, but it is useless, since in the USA most of the deaths are firearms, and here we have a minority. If you still legalize weapons, do you think there will be less domestic killings without weapons? Not. Just 70–80% of gunshot deaths will be added to these killings ...

While I got dressed (hat, jacket, boots) and went down I ran around the house (no more than 2 minutes) no one (I think they got around and ran away, and the victim was afraid of them) So, in my hands I held the keys and a gas canister, which I ALWAYS helped out if I used it. And now we can just imagine if the victim and / or I have a battle.

The legalization of a short-barrel is not just the purchase and sale of weapons, it is the legal basis for the status of military weapons, their use by a civilian, on their understanding of the degree of threat to their security. In fact, this is the return of the death penalty, moreover, without trial or investigation. There is no need to dissemble, ranting about the murders with hammers and grain cutters, these are household items whose strength is incomparably less than the capabilities of military weapons. Yes, you can kill with a pencil, tie, pillow, even glasses on the nose of a potential victim can become a weapon when they are sharply pulled and stuck in the eyes with their souls, but it’s not so easy, because you cannot outstrip as many people with the same pillow as from an automatic a five-year-old child can put a pistol. Even with hunting and sporting weapons, their status does not imply the killing of people, and their use in self-defense does not permit intentional killing. We will not confuse the right to self-defense with the right to lynching, and the love of weapons with whim. There is an arms market, there are selfish interests of the new pseudo-elite, both material and lordly whims to shoot, and so that the law is for them, to a heap of their money and lawyers. It is probably better to wish a peaceful life, with clear and fair laws, calm streets, high morality in society. If we talk about some kind of permission of the short-barrel, then for the Ministry of Internal Affairs, army and navy officers (with the obligation to promote law enforcement).

      Put a minus for the proposal to allow weapons only for certain categories of citizens. Neither has it. Evsyukov fell into one of these categories and how did he ensure law and order? A relative worked in a hospital - every day people are brought in with skulls broken by pans, often in serious condition. Ban pans? ;)

      In any case, the presence of weapons disciplines and forces you to monitor your actions and words. According to acquaintances who were in the states - where weapons are full on hand, people do not even lock them at home. And killing among local residents is a rarity.

      Evsyukov and others like him showed well what the officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are worth.
      You will say that this is a separate case, right.
      And I will say that such things among ordinary citizens are also a separate case.
      I never agree that an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of the FSB or other bodies should have more rights to self-defense than an ordinary citizen who is not an employee.
      There is a constitution of RUSSIA where it is written in black and white that every citizen of RUSSIA has the right to life as well as self-defense (I emphasize EVERYONE).
      As for SELF-VESSEL and SELF-DEFENSE, this is the favorite hobby of opponents of legalizing weapons, in principle heh heh funny, and if I organized lynching with a frying pan, then what about firearms.
      Apparently they are focusing on the fact that the owner of the weapon will start shooting offenders from morning to evening without a court order.
      Well, this is already out of the realm of speculation.

        If you can do it with a frying pan, why do you need a gun, Lyosha? But seriously, the difference is that the aforementioned Evsyukov did not kill people with a frying pan. You seem to be deaf to what you are telling you, military weapons are not intended for hunting or sports shooting, they are not for noise or traumatic effects, they have one purpose - the destruction of the enemy, but the legalization of this weapon, this is the legalization of shooting to defeat. Does the weapon discipline? The same Evsyukov proved that no. Weapons prevent crime? They attack armed, trained collectors, with machine guns and in bulletproof vests, do not be afraid, they used to attack Soviet militiamen in order to seize weapons, they were not afraid either. The right to self-defense? Who forbids it to you, but you, After all, want to have the right to kill, not just to defend even with a banal massacre. Under our laws, under which Serdyukov is not imprisoned, they will be selective in relation to weapons. There are lobbyists who will make money on weapons, there are bulls who have the whim of an egoist, there are people with complexes who hope that weapons can make them equal with men (as Sam Colt promised), there are those who want "the best", of the afflicted arm themselves. Think about who you belong to, and excuse me for being straightforward.

            You don't need to engage in demagoguery, I lived in the Soviet Union without a pistol, the doors in the house were not locked, and there were no bars on the windows. Yes, they fought with soldier's belts, with pigs, with muzzles from fire hoses, but they did not kick the fallen one, they did not pester the guy when he was with the girl. The knife was "for scum", and no one wanted to shoot even the enemy. Finally, buy yourself a pistol, kill yourself, in your opinion, a bad person in self-defense, and be happy without parting with your weapon even in the bathroom.

For me, weapons in the United States are not an argument, let them shoot each other in this country, which began with adventurers, bandits and other rabble from all over the world. There are such brave policemen that they prefer to shoot a kid with a toy, without risking their priceless skins. Something is not very audible that in the United States and someone helped with their weapons against the bandits, "his shirt is closer to the body." There and in the army, they have not been eager to serve for their country for a long time, and even more so, to die for it for free, preferring to delegate this debt to others for citizenship. And, you know, just me the weapon can be entrusted, because I know its power, just, I want to do my own thing, and not eliminate the flaws of law enforcement agencies. I want to live a peaceful life, not to feel like I'm in a war, with a pistol under my arm, seeing everyone as an armed threat.

But then we didn’t finish and kill, not because we were afraid of the police (there weren’t so many of hers and she wasn’t omnipotent at all). They themselves were determined in accordance with their internal code. And there were enough weapons in the Crimean forests (including quite combat-ready). And they didn’t hunt people, and they didn’t lay mines. WHAT CHANGED, why are people now ready to give EVERYTHING in exchange for a tiny ghostly security?

The authorities need this, defend yourself, heal yourself, teach your children yourself, so everything can only become our problem. Why such power? Do you think the power to arm the people is "afraid"? Yes, fullness, there is already a sea of ​​weapons, buy - I do not want, and much more powerful than a PM or another pistol, a revolver. There is a powerful lobby in power, which just needs to move laws restricting the permission of short-barreled weapons and restrictions on the use of other firearms. Namely, this is the main thing, many have not yet bought weapons because they do not see the possibility of using them. The inner world of people will also change, it will change even more, it seems to me personally that morality with the right to shoot "according to the law" will not go for the better, and the law will be on the side of the rich. That's all, no one needs our safety in this, look for someone who benefits from all this, who uses our love for weapons and concern for loved ones in their own selfish interests.

So they didn’t want to kill with a lead (or didn’t succeed under the influence of emotions), but there is more risk from a gun? Are you afraid of yourself? There is also a nuance - to shoot at the situation from a registered rifled barrel, it's like leaving fingerprints and a personal signature. If it is violent, but smart, then the trunk will not be carried with you and will not be kept "in the bathroom", but in a safe with two keys (the second key is with the wife) and admired only at home after checking for adequate condition by the wife.

It so happened that with whom I fought fiercely for the first time, after that I became the best friend, ready to give his life for you, who saved more than once. If we had a weapon when we first met, I don't know how it would have ended. A person should not have the right to kill another, without trial and investigation, at his own discretion and understanding of the degree of threat. This is not normal, and it is not necessary to justify everything by the possibilities of criminals, that is why they are criminals, they will always play against the rules, meanly and dishonestly, attack suddenly, beat and shoot in the back. Weapons will not help here, but they will aggravate the problem, since many "ordinary citizens" with weapons can become more dangerous than criminals, due to their possible cowardice and low morality. There is another solution, it is longer and more difficult, but, in my opinion, the only correct one - culture and law equal for everyone, well-coordinated work of state institutions, where everyone must do their job well.

THROUGH pierces the angle of the plate. And in 2 seconds you can inflict three such blows ...

At the moment, when planning the next robbery, it is enough for a criminal to take into account the counteraction of ONLY grassroots security structures (which are always cut down, producing armchair rats). He is not in danger anymore, ANYWHERE. So the wave of crime started rolling, as there are just a lot of "holes" in the protection. All worries - not to catch a random bullet during the "action", and then - either not found, or "otmazhut". EVERYTHING, there are NO other REAL dangers for the offender request

              It seems that you are working in the organs earlier or now. Of all my friends in one way or another connected with the government (public service) or work in the bodies, if you count on the percentage, then 80% are against legal weapons. There are several reasons:
              1. Professional deformation, especially in the police, if you got a gun, then you are 100% criminal.
              2. Russian officials have an elementary fear of spontaneous mob law.
              3. Misconception, if a person bought a barrel, then he will wear it everywhere. According to statistics, 60% buy weapons for complacency and store them on mezzanines. Those who really buy for self-defense, specifically learn to own it.

              And the usual statistics, a person with a legal trunk of 99% will never use it illegally!

    I believe that weapons are URGENTLY necessary to be allowed, and despite the fact that I want to buy, or combat, or traumatism, and for some regions of our Russia, a machine gun, why I wrote with a capital letter. our country has not grown to large yet. The majority of those who are now shooting at weddings during road showdowns and in other conflict situations in their majority do not have permission for weapons, commissions do not pass offsets, they don’t pass. Only after our government has put things in order weapons that are illegally available in a country like in Mexico, only then can we talk about the civilized legalization of weapons.

        Shooting on the streets from injuries occurs only because it is considered non-lethal! That is, if the gum gets into a person, then he gets off with moderate injuries. Only our officials did not take into account that a person has enough places when hit, which a person simply dies, immediately or after some time. Not for nothing that in many countries such weapons were simply banned. And the term excess of necessary self-defense, such nonsense could be invented only in Russia. Even if you deprive the attacker (s) of consciousness, you have already violated the Criminal Code.

    It seems that everyone decided that legalization is the same, or there is permission to wear it.

    It seems like nobody mentioned "wearing" in the article. And even comparing with other countries. With what fright you decided that you can "shoot the bastard on the arbat". Who will give it to you?

    I would not want to make waves here, but people are the same everywhere. A lot of research was done in the world and in the USA, after which most of the states were forbidden to carry guns. Doma is at least an arsenal (and even then not everywhere), but wearing it is already another.

      I want to comment on this post. The legalization of a short-barreled weapon means the storage and carrying of a hand-held short-barreled weapon (pistol).

      Permission only to keep the short barrel kills the idea itself! Why do I need hemorrhoids with a gun when there is a hunting rifle at home?
      The very idea of ​​owning a gun is that a citizen could ride with him in a car, take him to nature, etc.

    there are dry statistics for countries where weapons were allowed and banned, this led to a sharp surge in violence and killings. God created people, and the Colt made them equal, as it was in the saying of the Americans.
    People still have a huge amount of weapons, and the cops and Chopovites and hunters have a lot of injuries, etc., but people go for bread and don’t think they’ll shoot him now. Why, according to the opponents of the sale of weapons, we will immediately start firing at each other, if now millions of trunks on our hands are legal, but I do not observe a couple of shootings in our cities.
    My position is that you need to be allowed to sell, but it’s hard to teach how to use it, this is serious training, a large-scale shooting gallery and legal framework, as well as abolish the limits of self-defense or significantly expand them

      Nevertheless, they had weapons at the same time. As many as 20 years. But it costs the same person who has just retired to allow him to purchase the same PM, as he will immediately shoot all the neighbors, and then this gun will take away the murmur from him. According to the logic of the opponents of weapons, it turns out that way.
      The question is not in the pistol and not in shooting, the question is in the citizen's RIGHT to SELF-PROTECTION. And what exactly this LAW will be implemented is already the tenth matter. Whether with a gun, a stool or a meat grinder. Now the law protects the rights of the CRIMINAL to receive punishment, in no case exceeding his guilt for the deed... Or, in general, to evade him with the help of the subtleties of the judicial system. And law-abiding citizens remain "outside the brackets", they are NOT INTERESTING to the authorities. request

Just two weeks ago, they broke into a friend who had retired six months ago, recaptured the whole liver and left. It’s just that the local punks found out that he was no longer a cop, they stormed because of the fact that during the service he had turned off the blood of many, and whom he planted.

    Everything is correctly stated in the article, thanks to the author. Somehow I bought a survival textbook for American housewives and tourists, i.e. for the layman who does not have special training. It is not recommended to visit countries where carrying weapons is not permitted. in the U.S. they understand that you should not count on police help in some banana republics, and in Russia the situation is even worse, instead of helping the police you can be killed and dumped in a city dump. There is also a statistics of deaths during self-defense. defense with a pistol is 25-30%, while defense with a knife killed about 95%. This means that a person with a pistol is likely to shoot in the legs, not wanting to kill. Now you can draw conclusions. You can buy in any food store, and a gun is not allowed at all, even under a civilian cartridge. Who benefits from this?

Yes, they love offerings, but not to the detriment of the rule of law. Exactly 3 minutes after the emergency call and all the surrounding patrol will be near you. Carrying a weapon is not something beyond. If it is really required, you will get a license 100%!

    С modern by our laws, it makes little sense for an ordinary person to buy a gun. The first application for defeat, even with a minor injury, and the owner sits. Even if he wounded several scumbags who attacked his wife (daughter).

    So why should I, an ordinary guy without a pope’s deputy and a bunch of lawyers, if my state warns me in advance that I can’t shoot a person until he shoots me? If the defender is alive, not wounded, then by law the attitude towards him will be much worse than towards the attackers, no matter what they threaten the victim and no matter how many.

    What can I say if there was a case when a girl-athlete in St. Petersburg was condemned for killing a rapist with her bare hands and legs after training. Ideally, she only had to get a small pistol out of her purse and release the clip into a rabid animal, put the barrel next to the corpse, call the police and cry in anticipation of a psychologist and hot tea. In the United States, that would be and would be a heroine. Our Russian girl was engaged in some kind of martial arts and was able to cope with the rapist even with her bare hands ... And b..b was found guilty of the law!

    No, our people are quite ready for arms, for one thing, and "guests from the south" will subdue, but the law and the state - no. That's who else needs to develop ...

    From an economic point of view, it is flawless. From a political point of view, not very much. A weak government will never distribute weapons to the population, especially since it is strongly disunited politically, and it does not express common interests. On Bolotnaya may not come out with white ribbons. Therefore, all arguments on the topic of "perpetrator-victim" are listened to last. America is not an example. There, power was formed from below. Initial state - all armed. When banditry became unbearable, the population first simply began to hang them, finding them at the scene of the crime, and then they began to choose people who purposefully dealt with law and order issues. In our country, the rule of law was imposed from above to protect those in power and it was enough to allow the people to arms only once in 1917 (brought them from the fronts), as a general paragraph turned out.

    I don’t want to pay "pistol OSAGO" because of rabid pistols, I don’t want stricter storage and wearing rules. I don't want expensive licensing and exams. just because I don’t want to pay for those who want a pestle.
    due to frostbite with injuries, and some greed, we received the existing exams and recertification. the event is especially about nothing. so, a kind of money entry threshold.

    I really don’t want to complicate and increase the cost of the existing system. but it’s easier and cheaper, with the permission of the short-barrel, it definitely won’t. therefore, well, what for these pistols.

    ps who need a weapon for training / hunting - they are buying without problems now.

    I put the article "-" !!!!
    Because the meaning of the article is primarily super profitswhen selling a short barrel to the public!

    -With the average price of “injury” in 7500 rubles, we get the market with an annual capacity of 450 million rubles.

    Real pistols can cost ten times more, especially if the state imposes an impressive tax on them or even monopolizes the sale: this is unlikely to greatly affect demand.
    -

    Guys, want to give thousands of rubles for PM 75? I already had a time sheet, I don’t want it anymore! I want ChZ-75 for thirty thousand!

    As for owning a short barrel, we need a licensing system, with a medical commission, exams, training (courses)! Need a change in legislation on the necessary self-defense!
    The main idea, weapons should be accessible to ordinary law-abiding citizens, with an average income. Otherwise, it will be the status of a wealthy owner (like a cell phone in the 90 years)!
    Regarding the fact that the "household" with the short-barrel will increase. Yes, I suppose that at the first stage, a surge of this kind of crime is possible. But only at the first stage. Until the "frost" is "over"!
    Nobody canceled natural selection!
    And yet, I don’t need a gun (yet). And if storage and carrying of a short barrel are allowed, I will not run headlong to pass the commission, and to acquire! But I, and most citizens should have a legitimate opportunity to acquire weapons when they need it!

    Well, you legalize weapons, but the state will be enriched, and people, people ... that you want ordinary people to work their whole lives to hold the funeral of their relatives?
    Stop talking nonsense about the United States and other countries where weapons are legalized and all the type of top, but they * like this! You don’t watch the news, hear and don’t see how in the same ghetto neighborhoods corpses are carried out in batches every day, where the youngsters having seen the militants and played enough games at the computer shoot their relatives and friends! Do you want that?
    Do you really think it will be better in Russia, but nothing of the kind! Given the weakness of the law in our country, the hostility towards all Caucasians after the Chechen war and subsequently turned into real hatred, enormous drunkenness of the population and inadequate behavior, the degradation of youth both in educational and psychological and spiritual ones plan, we will begin such a war that my mother does not grieve - it will be scary to appear on the street not only at night, but during the day. People do you want this?
    Stop whining about how we can't defend ourselves. You yourself write on the forum you need to unite and joint forces to resist all kinds of abomination. So let's do this, and those who consider themselves very weak - you need to start boxing, wrestling, martial arts, and not write any kind of henna - "I'll buy myself a gun and I will be happy, peace in the world."

I read somewhere: if you constantly train with a knife, you may be able to repel an attack, but if you think you can repel an attack only because you have a knife, then you are very mistaken ... something like that. The point is that not everyone is ready to kill, he thinks he is ready ...

    It is probably better to wish a peaceful life, with clear and fair laws, calm streets, high morality in society.

    I agree, but .... before it is not soon.
    In the hands of hunters are tens of thousands of trunks, some have two and three. Including rifled. What are the stats of killings with hunting rifles? Significantly more accident victims?

    You better find out the statistics of deaths from alcohol. And she (statistics) speaks of more than 600 thousand per year. And no one is doing this. What did you howl about the threat to the lives of citizens? I do not believe that the state is worried about my life, and about yours too. I would agree with the opponents of the sale of weapons if it (weapons) were banned for everyone, without exception. And so, what the cops get the trunks, the bandits too, the rich and business guards and high fences. And if something happens to me, what to do? Precisely because they remain unpunished, they take away our property, evict from our apartments ... If you personally do not want to have a barrel, why deprive me of it? And to motivate by the fact that I will become potentially dangerous is stupid and not correct. In this case, we are all (men) potential rapists, because we have the "trunk" for this.

      We know, if weapons were issued at all, a verbal warning for any aggression, and then a bullet in a part of the body. To disperse the rally, they give a baton and a shield, but not a machine gun. They gave me a weapon of no relaxation, all incidents just stem from excessive "relaxation", when the daily "received" - "given" turns into an ordinary procedure, you always have to think with your head, and if you take out a weapon, shoot, thoughts will no longer help. Most of them are like - "Now I'm going to scare him with a pistol and all the ZBS", but nothing like that, if you decide to aim at the target then be ready to shoot, always !!!

        - Not certainly in that way! Weapons should be taken out (for their own safety) only when they have made the final decision on their use. By threatening with a weapon, stop a small danger, but create for yourself much greater in the subsequent time. It will no longer be followed by a threat with verbal accompaniment, but by a sudden attack with the aim of revenge and with the capture of your scarecrow.
        Attention question! What is the likelihood that after you understand and decide on the use of weapons, you will have the opportunity (you will be provided with it ;-))) to bring the weapon into combat position?
        Police officers are armed in the service, but this is not a policy from the Almighty, they die and often!

          The majority perish from their own arrogance and relaxation, the minority is simply unlucky. Example: you get out of the car and two trunks are unloaded from a nearby bush point-blank, where are your chances? They call for a family scandal, the owner is a hunter, the ensign knocks on the door and yells "Open the police" In response, 2 holes of 15 cm in diameter appear above his head (the short man was lucky, I would have blown my head off) too lazy to first look into the windows of the house. This one
          as you understand and decide on the use of weapons, you will have the opportunity (you will be provided with it ;-))) to bring the weapon into combat position
          it’s never been in my entire service, you go on a call - a cartridge in the barrel, on the fuse and in the holster.

    Something is not very audible for anyone in the United States to help with their weapons against bandits

    google it and find that in the US, citizens shoot 2 times more criminals than the police. At the same time, innocent victims of random rebounds, etc. - At times less than at the hands of the police.

      Firstly, the death penalty has not been abolished in the United States, and secondly, all these statistics are very sly, often far-fetched by the customer, the most powerful arms lobby of the United States, which has opened its mouth to Russia. The concept "my home is my fortress" is used by US citizens, but, as one American acquaintance advised, if someone climbed into the house there, and you left with a weapon, the thief must be killed, not injured, otherwise they may be sued according to his testimony not in your favor. And everything is according to the law. Are they shooting twice as many criminals as policemen? This is in comparison with what and whom, recently their police shot a kid with a toy AK, I would not be surprised if ordinary citizens can do this two or three times more. What brave people live in the United States, with a cowardly army, a general unwillingness to serve, the selfish morality of the owners. Undoubtedly, there are many good people in the States, but I do not believe in general disinterestedness and risk in the fight against real bandits, and not shooting at punks and homeless people.

    If Russia had strict enforcement of laws and control over them, then there would never have been a need to raise the issue of legalizing weapons. The state today is neither able to control nor execute. Corruption and lawlessness. Everything and everyone can be bought ... What kind of control over the legalization of a gunshot can be discussed even if we do not have control over state funds and immigrants. The legalization of weapons now is the path to uncontrolled access to means of destroying people. A mass of innocent people will die. Much more than now. It’s just that everyone should decide for himself to live in Russia, either to leave or set the brains of the authorities so that it finally starts working and ensures the safety of life of every citizen.

    The hammer of choice for professionals. You must be able, plus nerves of steel. And with pistils, any youngster will begin to consider himself an alpha-hawk with corresponding consequences for others. About how it looks like a special television series was shot, called "Ambulance". If we ignore the difficult personal lives of the heroes, everything is shown as it really is. Shootings, showdowns among young people, casualties among bystanders, shooting, shooting, corpses, corpses. And now for a moment it is worth thinking, at your nearest ambulance station they know how to provide assistance with a serious firearm? Or you will be taken to a military hospital a hundred and twenty kilometers away, because at least some experience is only there, and of course, most likely, they will not be taken. They will object to me that this is a series and everything is invented there, it is understandable in our life for some reason everything will be different. The bandits are already all armed without exception, and corpses are not lying around at every step, and it is understandable that ordinary adequate citizens will handle weapons a priori more carefully! I propose to attend a couple of youth weddings and imagine, towards the end, that a couple of three citizens have pistols with them.

      Dear, in general, it speaks of legal weapons, which should not be alfashavkas, as you called, but among normal sane people. Shooting is now happening regularly, and the same alfashawks are shooting from injuries, knowing in front that they will not be killed for anything, and cripple people. And for a real war trunk, for which we must answer, such simply will not subscribe. You are a respected, really divorced from the present, and so far you have not been strengthened by the very alpha-fighters ...

        That is, normal, sensible people will not get in touch with a combat pistol, for obvious and obvious reasons.
        Judging by the text, you still revolve in the circle of alfashavks and they regularly fasten you, that is, you need a gun to prove who is the alfashavkest. So write, I'm cool, but constantly flies in, I need a gun to punish the offenders and become the coolest. But the gun should only be with me, since I am a normal sane person, and everyone else is not normal and they understand they cannot sell pistols. Well, maybe except for a couple of my friends who, although they thump all the time, but the guys are great. And about the isolation, you guessed it, I was deaf-mute from Mars, the current flew in and did not know what was happening around.

          "And for a real combat barrel, for which such (alphashawks - see the previous sentence) simply will not sign" - That is, normal, sane people with a combat pistol will not get involved, for quite understandable and obvious reasons.

          Well, let's say, the identification of sane people with alphashawks is not because of "unreasonableness", but from an excess of emotions (although, here you have to trust the weapon - you still need to think about it), but your statement "sane people with a combat pistol will not contact, according to quite understandable and obvious reasons "is false and easily refuted. I am not asking you to prove its truth, a lie cannot be proved, it is useless, a lie can only be refuted. But still I wonder what are the "quite understandable and obvious reasons for sensible people"? If you mean "lack of readiness to be held responsible for your illegal actions," then I congratulate you on your "sanity" - you have criminal thinking or you are really "from Mars" and you have an alien logic.
