Do you think America should literally have the exact same gun control laws as Russia?

Here's what the Library of Congress says about Russian gun control:

Firearms-Control Legislation and Policy: Russian Federation

"The acquisition of guns is based on licenses provided for a five-year period by local police departments at one’s place of residence after a thorough background check, including a review of the petitioner’s ability to store guns safely and an evaluation of his/her medical records. Mentally ill people and those who have been treated for substance abuse are not allowed to possess firearms."

"Individuals are not allowed to carry guns acquired for self-defense; a license only serves as a carrying permit for hunting and sport firearms when these guns need to be transported. Russian citizens may not own guns that shoot in bursts or have magazines with more than a ten-cartridge capacity."

    Gun control laws will do nothing to stop mass shootings by a determined shooter.
