The funny thing here is that Russian mobsters probably sold a few of those guns.

Oh, what's that? You think there are no Russian mobsters where you live? That's a hard maybe.

Also, there is no crime in Russia... since Russian mobsters work hand in hand with local and national police in Russia.

Just another reminder of how corrupt that federation is.

From what I can see, all in the picture are semi auto guns that can be bought at any Academy or almost any Bass Pro Shops in the US.

Illegal guns get flipped if I'm not mistaken. Like unregistered automatic rifles that gets resold and smuggled across county and state lines. It's probable that some russian mobsters got a piece of the action is what I'm saying. Mobsters don't need to stick to their own nation states and will move around to where they can make money.

Like unregistered automatic rifles

But these are all basic semi auto AR-15s, None of them have the third hole

This is just a collection of some of the most popular civilian rifles in the US all of which are completely legal in Florida.

There's way easier ways to obtain those than interacting with the mob

But I live in a rural English town where the most exciting thing that happens is the elderly folk fighting over who has control over the flowers near the rectory. Are you saying they are russian agents? For real?

Edit: and now you've edited your post, making mine seem like nonsense.

Just be ready to run when people start talking about the "greater good."
