Russia is certainly not the freest place for guns, but much better than Latin America or the NW Eurosocialist hellholes the democrats think we should emulate. You can own AKs, ARs, etc. Much less egregious (but still present) "feature" laws than NY. (lengths, folding of things, etc)

GTH
I sure would like to live in my own space pirate ship in the middle of the void with a bunch of downloaded media, a sleeper sofa, and a little area for shop projects. Then check in on earth every couple centuries to see how things are going.
I have an unregistered M16 in my safe. I think the guy who sold it ripped my off though, because it only holds 5 rounds and says it was made in France.
