That includes revoking the 2nd amendment.
Russian citizens over 18 years of age can obtain a firearms license after attending gun-safety classes, passing a federal test and complete background check.
Must be 21 years old to own a handgun and concealed carry is 100% illegal.
This isn't news. We've known how Trump wants things to be ever since he saw how N. Koreans clap on demand for Kim, and said he wished Americans would do that. Of course, the "clap or die" rule helps with that, and is key to the reason Trump is hell bent on eliminating due process for everyone.
It's completely baffling. Canada has a larger GDP than Russia. Europe (with UK) has an economy 15 times the size of Russia. China and the US are global superpowers, obviously. But Russia? Trump has chosen Russia over Europe. The worst blunder by an American President since WWII.
Most Americans -- except for the extreme white nationalists -- are not happy about this. Especially older Americans. Most Republicans thought the Dems accusations on this was "fake news." If he proves them right, people will be feel duped and will be pissed off.
Putin runs Russia as kleptocracy with the likelihood of being “disappeared” if you disagree with him. Trump absolutely wants the same kind of governance and he will lie, cheat and steal till he gets it.
