What does Mr. Putin think about this? He is a gun enthusiast. When Russia gets invaded, their citizens will not be protected.

Medvedev, being a clownish showman that he is, giddily jumps on the anti-gun bandwagon.

Me dvedev knows full well what the greatest threat to the Russian society is - and, it is not guns.                       

Alcoholi sm is the curse of the the Russian people.  Drunken Russian men and women do not need guns to kill their spouses or neighbors.  Their favorite tool for this butchery is a rusty ax. F*cking idiot.

@ Tim

I agree with almost everything you say.

"Alcohol ism is the curse of  the Russian people."

Exce pt if you look at this statement further, you will realize that  this is also a symptom , not a core problem, the problem is the psychological and civil societal effects and legacy of "Communism" in essence the essential forceful grinding against everything that is "human" social and market .

in this way , also very strangely similar to Autism but without the actual physical genetic effects , so that is to say , it is a mental trauma but, as the 3 or 4 generations of damaged humans in the "West" ..

Russians should recover from "Communism" in less than a single generation , which is also evident already, and is accelerating , so for the PM to make such a statement is for him to admit that he has failed and furthermore that in a way he is saying that the Russian recovery is a failure.

I agree with the PM on almost every policy , except to agree that the Russian Federation is a failure , i do not believe that, and I believe the market will prevail.

I believe that Russians should be allowed to legally carry simple firearms.

it is a very important indicator of the success of the Russian Federation Society.

"Medvedev upholds Russian arms ban after US school massacre"

Hea ding should read:

"Medved ev upholds view that Russian citizen are not mature enough to own their own personal weapons , and that he agrees that this is generally a measure of a societal maturity , and he agrees that Russian society is not mature and does not deserve the right or the respect to own simple fire arms."

Or

“Russian PM believes that left to their own devices and given the means Russians will kill each other at will and on mass, and the only thin line that stops this is the “ban” on firearms…”

Or

“Russi an PM believes that only the police or criminals should own firearms .”

Or

“Russian PM amazingly believes Swiss culture an society superior to Russian Society”

lucky though most Russian citizens are beautifully the product of markets, not having been destroyed by "western" systems.
