In Russia, with a weapon more or less a good situation. Better than in some countries
Anyone passing medical examination and verification by the police, can buy smoothbore guns (12 gauge, etc.), after 5 years of ownership of smooth-bore weapons, you can get a license to own a rifled gun.
Now they want to pass a law that would allow owning a rifled gun after 3 years. I believe that this is a rare idiocy, this delay does not help prevent crime. But in the end we have what we have) in my arsenal of semi-automatic weapons (automatic banned for civilian).

Now I’m waiting for the opportunity to buy a Steyr SSG 08, a very good rifle.
