Actually there are a lot of reasons why Russian authorities are chickened out to allow citizens have guns. Public moods quite furious here and there are reasons for that. So nobody can pass psychological evaluation and that is why it was included:
- Do you like Putin's regime?
- Yes, definitely.
- But you've been working as a teacher for a 12 years and your maXimum wage never been beyond $3
- It's ok.
- But you're living in the richest country in natural resources.
- Argh...
- Next!
I'm just kidding of course...

Concerning the topic it's very controversial. But it is quite clear that half measures are unacceptable. If one person can have a gun and another can't then it puts them in the unequal positions. Crimes can afford weapons in any way, they don't need to fill the applications, but if a regular person was refused in getting gun (s)he can't do much to remedy the situation. So it is a good idea that anyone can have a gun, but for using it with lethal outcome shooter must be punished to life imprisonment in any case whether he was an attacker or an defender.
