News Analysis: Russia: The Right Of Citizens To Bear Arms may be viewed in the light of the REALITY OF AMERICA (beyond the Escritorial Manifestations of Journalism Majors who Create Stories for the Mass Media):
In America there are an estimated 310+ Million Non-Military Firearms in Control by U.S. Citizens. Approximately 47 % of Americans have at least one Firearm in their home. In applying to buy a firearm(s), approximately 39% of applicants are denied the Purchase due to felony Convictions or Criminal Indictments. An interesting statistic is that in 2009 there were 16,799 Homicides in America of which 11,493 were committed with a Firearm. Of the 5,000+ Non-Firearm Homicides should America: “Outlaw Knives” and all other forms of paraphernalia used? How many Homicides, Rapes, Robberies, etc. in 2009, Never Occurred due to the thinking of the Miscreant(s) that the intended Victim(s) or someone nearby might have a Firearm and “Could Ruin Their Whole Day”?
The simple reality of Crime is: It will occur in environments where Criminals think they will not be Apprehended (nor injured or killed) for their Evil Deeds. More Heinous Mass Crimes WILL OCCUR where the Criminal(s) thinks LETHAL SELF-DEFENSE CAPABILITY of possible Victims is Inversely related to the Level of Hostile Aggression they are to experience.
At an International Level: The 317+Million people living in America, and the its evolved Firearms Tradition has continually provided Enemies of America a Concern NONE OF THE MASS MEDIA (NOR POLITICIANS) EVER DISCUSS: “Which other Nation of the World has a Military of Sufficient Size to Attack and Prevail against 310+ Million Combatants in a Country of which the Aggressor is largely unfamiliar?” ANY World Military MUST consider such a proposition in Theoretical Study of War Against a Particular “Enemy”; Sun Tzu might have agreed to this Concept in his “Art of War”.
Russian Citizens, like Americans, want to be able to protect they and their families against Criminals (both Organized and Un-Organized). There are not enough Policemen to protect the Lawful Citizenry of ANY Country if “the Snakes decide to Strike”. Politicians of ANY Country who cannot Guarantee the Safety of their Constituencies should vote for Firearms Protection for their Citizens; those who vote against, should be replaced.
To the people who decry Firearms, one must ask: “If people are actually trying to Kill, Rape, or Rob YOU and/or YOUR FAMILY, how are you going to stop them? Plead for Leniency?” “People in Hell want Ice Water also.”
Reality.
