Reminds me of Iranian leaders using Twitter openly, despite the fact that it's banned in the country.

except from the rule where the police has to call their police station before they can unlock the gun case

This discourages a use of guns in situations where less-lethal weapons like tasers, pepper spray and nightsticks might be adequate. Considering how low the crime rate is in Norway and how rare it is to see gun crime, this makes a ton of sense and further disincentives the use of guns by criminals, since they do not have to expect a heavily armed response by the police.

Thanks for your AMA! I highly respect your work and am humbled by your bravery.

What's your opinion of fellow Russian journalists who, for one reason or another, have decided to follow the government line (like this guy who did an AMA recently)?

Do you still consider them journalists in the first place? Do you think they chose to abandon journalistic principles out of fear, for ideological reasons or because they are opportunists? Have you personally interacted with them and what was the interaction like?

It's interesting to see the Hotline Miami dev enjoying Thomas Was Alone and the Thomas Was Alone dev picking Hotline Miami.

Just don't be one of those foreigners who only mingles with other foreigners and refuses to learn the local language, customs, etc. It's a terrible idea all around and will only result in isolation.
