“In a parkway in the city downtown, an unidentified man went on a shooting spree. Five people were killed on the spot, and the sixth one, a 16 year old student, died in a hospital a few hours later.”-Belgorod city statement

Strict gun control in Russia failed to stop a mass shooting in Belgorod, Russia.

Six people were killed, and the mayor even canceled all entertainment in the city located near the border with Ukraine.  Police now say the shooter is on the loose, after earlier saying he was in custody.  He used a 7.62mm Saiga carbine/rifle, which is legal in Russia.

What’s not legal to own in Russia are automatic guns (machine guns), semi-auto assault type guns and handguns (pistolas).  In order to own a legal gun you must get licensed first.   Licensing requires criminal, mental and medical background checks, and you must be trained on how to use a gun and gun safety.  Licenses must be renewed every five years.

Licensed gun owners must also register their guns with local police.  State law enforcement must track all sales of guns and ammo.   Russian anti-gun laws also dictate how a gun owner is to store their gun when not in use.

Russia also bans concealed and open carry (unlike the U.S. state of Idaho where open carry is legal) of guns (with some exceptions).

Of interest, according to GunPolicy.org (an anti-gun organization), the number of deaths in strict gun controlled Russia are higher than in the United States, and that does not include accidental shooting deaths in Russia!
