Kalashnikov Museum

Here's the online tour.

I was recently at a luncheon where NRA president David Keene mentioned that NRA had made Kalashnikov an honorary life member. Not for his firearms designs, but for a speech he gave at a birthday celebration (attended by V. Putin, no less), where he said his greatest hope for Russia was for a government that did not fear an armed populace.

No government, no matter how benevolent and light-handed, can please everyone all the time. Therefore government must always maintain capability of force greater than can be raised by a populace armed with individual infantrymen's weapons.
Restraint from abuse of the people must be from revulsion of the military officers to massacre large numbers of citizens.
It is the necessity to slaughter armed citizens rather than to subdue unarmed citizens that restrains any modern government.
We can see from experience that unarmed citizenries are often massacred into submission.
