Russia has just as many guns as the U.S. Can you count the numbers of AK's worldwide? I bet not.

Think about the armies, militia groups, terrorist groups and criminals worldwide in possession of the AK. Then you might begin to wonder about the ones already in Russia's possession .

More than 100 countries have AK's as their standard army rifle.


Ignorance is cheap

Ak’s are being produced in more than 90 countries
African’s inclusive

It was Developed in the Soviet Union by Russian small-arms designer Mikhail Kalashnikov

You are contradicting yourself.

As per the bolded, the reverse is actually the case. The US is the only civilized country with so many guns, and that's because of the 2nd amendment written in the 18th century when there was no good security and America was wild.

Advanced countries have good security and that is why you can go out at 2am without fear, you can even forget to lock your doors without fences/barb wires and nothing will not happen in majority of times.

The excellent security in civilized countries is also why they have an excellent e-commerce system where you can buy stuff online, and it will be delivered to your doorstep without fear of it being stolen.
Empires fall and rise. American is hitting another great decline. I wont argue with you. You are Soy, I bet you one of those guys that see nothing wrong with a man who doesnt lift or push his strenght to limits before aging

Truth is the American government can't even fight it's citizens if need be.
Most of these guys have more guns than an average Nigerian police station.

The total number of guns im these pics is almost 1000. Scary

Doesn't matter. It was developed in Russia

Apple products are manufactured in China, does that mean they are owned by China?


You claimed Russia have more guns than the USA, now you're changing it.

Well, Apple make their phones, other companies don't have right to produce Apple phones, but other companies with licence and without license can mass produce AK47

These gun owners aren't a threat; some na for show and maybe a bit of seriousness. The threats are those who don't have a gun to their names. Na them fit steal their grandfather guns to kill.

It is unlikely that Russia can ever put its troops on US soil but assuming they manage to do it, all these weapons you are seeing wouldn't do sh!t. Yes, they will kill some soldiers but all that Russia needs to do is to become a lot more brutal. Artilleries, missiles, airstrikes, tanks, and so on are no match for those rifles unless Russia is trying to annex USA or occupy it for a long time.

You don't get to say that. A country like America, you must know how to use arms and should own a gun. Do you put your life in the hands of Nigerian police or at least put some responsibility on yourself?

Imagine herdsman flood your street, what will you do in such a situation? Call Nigerian Police?

The more the civilization of a country, the more the security needed. Nigeria hasn't gotten to that level but trust me if you are in the North where herdman are killing people daily, you will wish you have guns.

Owning a Gun is masculine, it's a toy for big guys. These are act men must do before they die. Shoot a Gun, go for target practice.

Having the feeling that what's in your hand holds the power to take life and saves lives. Guns don't kill, it's the man who holds it that kills

American is insane society.
Go and see sane society, no where in the world where is gun violence as america in civilized country.
American politicians are unpatriotic and extremely stupid.
They make the great country they inherited to look overrated.

The major reason why all this white Americans have so much guns, is to prevent the blacks from doing to them what they did to the black people. This is their insurance scheme against a future race war.

That is why since there were no more invaders, they decided to turn the Guns on themselves.

There's a huge difference my dear. If we have the right to own a gun right here in Nigeria it will be anarchy.
I saw a video of a 13years old boy who walked into a gun shop and purchase a gun like someone buying a cupcake. Just like that in the U.S.
Now you can imagine such a thing here in Nigeria.
It will be freedom to kill your enemies, annoying neighbors, deceitful politicians and even people of other tribes.

And yet they are better than Nigeria politicians.

I dont respect or like american politicians.
They are like third world politicians. They are not better than nigerian leaders.

They are bounded by laws and organized system that is why their society has not fallen apart.
Their ancestors did great job built great country.
But their current politicians are bad.
Many of them dont believe in democracy.
Many problems in their society they fail to address them.

You speak like an illiterate. All AK 47s are not manufactured in Russia, though invented in Russia. It's like saying all Toyota cars are in Japan .Even if all manufactured in Russia, are they all still used or located in Russia after purchase?

Here in nigeria we need guns to combat armed robbers we called police men.
We need guns against kidnappers, armed robbers, etc.

Let everybody get access to guns.
Presently we have anarchy, government has lost control.
