- guard-of-terra 13y agoI can't remember many gun control problems in USSR. Maybe I'm ignorant or something. Post-soviet russia? Loads and loads of bandits with automatic weapons and whole ethnicities have a habit of firing AK-47 in the blue sky at weddings.
- smsm42 13y agoMaybe. Criminals used guns even in USSR. There was little chance for a regular person - unless he's in the military or militia or like that - to use a gun for self-defense. Of course, that meant that many criminals didn't need to use gun - if the victim is completely defenseless, it is easy to overpower her without the need for a gun. But the criminals got the guns if they needed them, or made them - making a crude gun requires only basic tools.
- seanmcdirmid 13y agoCrude homemade are a problem in China, and producing is a capital crime (but they still get made). Suffice it to say, gun control is not a major issue in the PRC.
- wisty 13y agoApparently, the word I'm looking for is "syllogism". For example "Criminals commit crimes, buying guns is a crime, therefore all criminals buy guns".
