    Does Ukraine really want a bunch of guns of different makes and models that accept different types of ammunition? That seems like it’d be more of a hinderance than a help, logistically.

    We should have a gun drive to send out excess weapons and ammo over to Ukraine. Lord knows we have enough guns in this country to spare a few…

      That would be a perfect way for the Ukrainians to end up with out of spec guns with random wish dot con components that have had improper gunsmithing done to them.

          This gun was involved in a murder, but we’re not going to bother investigating it anyway so you guys may as well have it.

      That’s the point of the 2nd amendment. But technically civilians aren’t allowed to own “military grade” weapons made after 1986.

    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.

    While this was a nice gesture, would 101 random weapons bought off equally random Florida Men all at least share the same ammo? A gun’s just an awkward club without proper ammo.

    Good enough for the later Echelons. There is a ton of logistic and support troops basically never needing to use their guns and they will be happy having a gun with two mags forever.
