The gun manufacturer Kalashnikov Group has reportedly drafted a legislative proposal to ease various restrictions, particularly for firearm owners who compete in shooting tournaments.

According to the newspaper Kommersant, the company wants Russian lawmakers to increase the number of firearms an individual can own from five to ten. The legislation would also permit larger magazine capacities for target practice, and shorten the period during which an individual must own a smoothbore shotgun before being allowed to buy a hunting rifle.
