Connecticut’s guns laws are very liberal compared to Russia’s. But we can all remember the Beslan massacre ending with the death of over 380 people.

Russian gun laws are the Brady Campaigns wet dream compared to Connecticut’s laws and they did not stop a bunch of Islamic nut jobs from getting guns and killing more than 14 times as many people.

>> Connecticut’s guns laws are very liberal compared to >> Russia’s. Actually a Saiga-12 semi-auto shotgun with a tactical pistol grip is perfectly legal to sell and own in Russia and is NOT legal in CT. The pistol grip is an "evil feature" according to CT statues that in combination with a detachable magazine makes it an "assault weapon". Saiga-12's and Saiga-410's sold in CT come with regular stock or Monte Carlo stock, but no pistol grip. Putting one on your gun aftermarket would be a felony. Saiga AK-pattern semi-auto Rifle in 7.62x39 is also illegal in CT, but is legal in Russia as a popular hunting weapon. The reason is it has interchangeable parts with AK-47. However, Saiga rifle in any other caliber (.308 or 5.45x39) are not illegal. Basically, handguns are illegal for civilians in Russia. But civilan AK-pattern rifles (the Saigas) or even AK-pattern semi-auto shotguns (Saiga-12) are not.
