    The bear is man's best friend. Russians and bears are great buddies.

    Curious about fishing in Russia. How common is it for a few of the guys to go out to a lake or seaside to go fishing? OK, drinking and lying with fishing poles. Is there anything like the BASS fishing culture in the US? How common are small pleasure boats? Sport fishing is a big part of the tourism industry (the biggest industry locally) here on Cape Cod. My Russian and Eastern European friends think it's a bit obsessive until I bring them along.
    I'm easily amused late at night...

    Yes Fishing, drinking and liying on the beach.
    I think it would be very difficult to hunt on bears.

    This is a bit off topic, but do lots of people have guns in Russia? Are they really easy to come by like in America?

    Alot.

    What kind of guns do you mean? It's quite easy to get licence for smooth-barrel guns here, it is not harder than to get driving licence, and as far as I know some of them are not allowed in the USA like some types of Saiga - a smooth-barrel version of AK but a license for rifles - it doesn't matter .22 cal, SVD or civil AK clones - needs to be an owner of a smooth-barrel gun for 5 years and it is almost impossible to get licence for pistols.

    Just wondered if, say, the average family would have a gun. I hear this is the norm in Amerika. I aslo hear that you can buy guns at Wallmart. I don't know how true this is however, it might just be all made up or completely exaggerated because people so love to bash America.

    The average family has guns? I know the image of the US is sometimes of the "Wild West" with everyone having a gun in the bedroom. But to answer your question, no, not exactly -- there's alot of variation and probably a regional aspect to it as well. According to this, there are either 215 million or 258 million guns in America. http://www.nraila.org/Issues/FactShe...ad.aspx?ID=126
    So if you consider there are ~300 million people in the US, then yes, statistically speaking the "average family" would in fact have a gun. In reality, however, I think you'd find it to be more evenly dispersed gun/no gun households. First and foremost, I'd say that guns are, in many cases, something that a person either owns in significant quantities or not at all. This isn't supposed to be a political snub at either side, but I've found that people I know will typically have several rifles and/or several shotguns (pistols are a different animal), not just a shotgun/rifle. Regional and urban/rural residence also is important. A person who lives in a rural area, say, is probably going to be far more likely to have a gun, since they are more sparsely populated, more likely to hunt/target shoot, or use them in case of a break-in or self-defense of some sort.

    As for the statement regarding Wal-Mart, yes, it's true that you can buy guns at Wal-Mart (then again, name one thing you CANNOT buy at Wal-Mart -- I expect they'll be selling crack or babies in the near future ). It's not just like buying a can of tuna fish though -- you have to go through a federal screening process -- if you are a felony-convicted criminal or mentally ill, forget about it. Also, I believe that they do NOT sell any handguns, period -- just rifles and shotguns.

    The bottom line is this: Americans, generally speaking, probably do own more guns than the average country, but it's not like every American is "packing heat." Wal-Mart does sell guns, but within the law.

    Finally, I'd like to just conclude by saying that while I don't mean to cut anyone out or deny anyone the opportunity to add their opinion, this question is a) one that's highly politicized and may very well add to a flame war and b) one that's fairly off-topic, so we may want to just stop it here. I know that sounds hypocritical, and it probably is, but I was just trying to answer this question in the most neutral manner possible, b/c I thought it would be useful for basurero personally.
    Заранее благодарю всех за исправление ошибок в моём русском.

    Right. I think saying everybody in the US owns guns because they almost have one per person is a lot like if some guy with a billion dollars and a homeless guy shared an apartment and you said everyone in the neighborhood had an average of $500m.

    To quote another statistic (which, if some gun nut wants to claim I made up or got from a shady reference, comes from the same report referred to by the NRAILA's own website http://www.nraila.org/media/misc/ACCC.htm):

    "Approximately 10 percent of the nation's adults own 77 percent of the country's guns." Philip J. Cook and Jens Ludwig, Guns in America: Results of a Comprehensive National Survey on Firearms Ownership and Use, Summary Report, (Washington, D.C.: Police Foundation, 1996).

    So yeah, there may be over 200 million guns in the country, but they're all in big arsenals owned by people like that guy from Tremors who was in Family Ties and his wife Reba McEntire.

    Ok thanks for the info. I guess it was just a gross American stereotype.

    So is it the same in Russia?
