To Russia finally and not just in words, but in fact became a successful country lack resolve a very important issue in which we, as it may seem strange, it is worth to learn from… of Americans, says Director of the analytical Department of “Alpari” Alexander Razuvaev.
“As you know, a kind word and a gun, you can achieve more than just a good word. The second amendment to the U.S. Constitution guarantees the right of Americans to own firearms. A number of Federal laws regulate the possession of firearms, however, most of the terms of use set separate U.S. States.
As the Americans say, God created men, but Colt made them equal. In fact, in life there are less unambiguous history, the presence of weapons always makes a man inwardly free and self-confident. And confidence in life is almost always half the battle.
In Soviet times the right to arms was eliminated. Both the Communists and the liberals are very afraid of people’s anger. But now we have a free country of free people who respect the elected government. The Crimean Patriotic consensus did their job. And maybe for the first time in more than a hundred years in Russia there is no invisible wall that separates the power from the people.
Opponents of the right to arms is traditionally expressed by the argument that on the background of domestic quarreling, drinking of alcoholic beverages, as well as a heart of passion we can expect widespread and often thoughtless use of firearms with the appropriate dire consequences.
However, I repeat: we have 25, we have held an adult nation, our childhood and adolescence ended. We may even have to answer for their actions. If you follow the logic of opponents of the right to arms, we should ban air transport, trains, vehicles and even subway, because they are people increased risk.
It should also be recalled that the presence of weapons could be a major blow against police brutality.
To give the Russians the right to arms is the task of the new deputies of the State Duma. However, if in view of the importance to be resolved to decide on this issue in a national referendum, this will also be not the worst solution.
The right to arms, as well as the restoration of the death penalty for serious crimes is not a decision that can be postponed indefinitely”.
