Hungary is considering liberalizing self-defense regulations

Communists had cause to keep us disarmed. A democratic country should show more confidence in its people.

      Сделал русскую версию но чувствую, что придётся менять картинки по смыслу.

    Зачем врать-то? При Сталине ружья вполне продавались. Вообще безо всяких разрешений и учета. И не вина режима, что эффективных для обороны дома полуавтоматов 12-го калибра тогда не существовало.

    Я так понимаю, что уважаемый Волк очень не любит советский строй. Это его право, но оно не дает разрешения врать и передергивать.

      Сталина не застал а вот в 70-80ие просто купить ружьё было нельзя. Да и СССР не единственная коммунистическая страна была — что было в Польше, Китае или Северной Корее?

      То есть как это не существовало? Когда, по-Вашему, было изобретено полуавтоматическое ружье? А что такое СКС, это что, тапочек?

      Кроме того, по-моему, в СССР продавалось в основном только охотничье-спортивное оружие, нет?

    Можно было купить. Не так уже просто, но можно. Моя семья покупала, как раз в указанный вами период.

    Извините, меня не сильно интересует ваше отношение к указанным странам. Это чужие мне государства. Мне не совсем понятно, почему вы так относитесь к стране, в которой, очевидно, выросли. На других снимках тот же Сталин стоит в одном ряду с Гитлером. Зачем? Неужели для вас нет разницы? Вы регулярно делаете красивые снимки, хорошие подписи (я разделяю ваше мнение по поводу владения оружием частными лицами), т.е. вы производите впечатление вполне адекватного человека. Тем более непонятна позиция.

    Кстати, я сам живу в США, владею оружием, и разделяю ваши взгляды там, где они не касаются политической истории (типа “тирании” в СССР).

    В любом случае, удачных вам снимков. Мне очень приятно, что есть человек, кто пропагандирует здравую идею вооруженного народа на столь профессиональном уровне.

    Communists disarmed us. We should trust each other now that we are free.

    The Russians disarmed us. Now we are free. Why are we still disarmed?

    If we are free, why are we still disarmed?

    It’s a legend, my friend. Just legend of Western Propagandists.

    Did the russians disarm you? O my God! Good russian is dead russian, right? Good reason to destroy them. Just solve “russian question”. That’s what you want. right?

    I am not sure where you get this idea of resolving a “Russian question”.

    But I suppose there are individuals who feel any criticism of something that happened in the past is wishing to “resolve a question”. The British tried disarm the Americans. The Americans revolted. Do you think people who support American independence hate British people and want to kill them all?

    If I lived in a free country – I do not – and foreigners came and tried to disarm me, I would fight. Russians would also fight if foreigners came into their country. Why then cannot Hungarians resist if foreigners come into their country? Are Hungarians worse than Russians?

    My words were about “the Russians tryed to disarm Americans”. Do you feel an incredible idiocrasy of this? So, I do. This is not issue about disarming of anybody. This is about unreasonable hate.

      I have nothing against the Russians. I do have a very strong dislike for Soviets, Nazis and all other totalitarian ideologies. I view them as different in minor details but not in principle.

  12. Ivan says:
    April 22, 2011 at 7:49 pm

    Really? “Minor details”? Like superiority of one nation (nazism) through genocide for others – and internationalism (soviet ideology) as a brotherhood for everybody. Is there no difference? Heh…

    It’s awesome and sadly to see brainwashed people.

      The practice of Soviet actions tended to differ considerably from theory. Their interventions in foreign wars were often as bloody as the German (example: Spanish Civil War), just that killings and imprisonments were done for reasons other than ethnicity. My view of them is also much worsened by having my family held captive in the USSR for all of my childhood — my parents wanted to leave since before I was born but were not allowed to do so until 1989. So I view the USSR as a slave-holder state. They may have been an improvement on the Third Reich but neither regime had much to recommend it. In other words, a pox on both!

    You know, Oleg. I just don’t want to discuss. I asked you and understood your point of view. I’m not agree with it but I do respect it. I was born in 1972, I was in service in russian army. That means I’m not a teenager – I lived in USSR. And also I know the history of my family hardly-connected to the soviet reality. But! I’m here not to say you are wrong or right. You are in your own reality. I’m in my own one.

    You are taking good pictures. That’s why I’m here. Let it go, OK?

    And… I would like to ask you some question. At first, do you own all of your firearms, or somebody is providing them to you? Second, is it possible to come to you for a couple of pictures (me, my wife and doughter and my own gun)? I’m in New-York right now, and I don’t have any problems with US travel.

      Yes, you and your family would be most welcome in my studio.

      Some of the guns are mine, some belong to friends and a few to my advertising clients.
