Ukraine Gun Confiscation

[Bisbobble]

Saw this post this morning. Not surprised, just a little view of things in other countries. If we're not careful, possibly in ours.

Feel free to move if in wrong area. I just thought this is was a good example of what our 2nd Amendment was designed to protect.

Feel free to move if in wrong area.

Like Connecticut, Illinois, California, New York, etc....

"Pistols that fire nonlethal plastic or rubber bullets are also legal for citizens"

I have got to get me one of those!

Facing Russian attack and they want to disarm the people? That should turn out well.

Just roll out the red carpet. The one with hammers and sickles.

The order was seconded on Thursday by the French ambassador to Ukraine, Alain Rémy, who said the disarmament of the militias that helped overthrow the former government is a central requirement for the European Union to begin disbursing financial aid, along with the government fighting corruption.

Apparently France would rather deal with Putin in control.

They might want their guns back now.

Members of Right Sector have not just hunting rifles but also military weapons that were seized from an Interior Ministry arsenal in western Ukraine in the final days of the uprising.

Makes you wonder from years past as to what he was talking about? I know its not Putin, but it is with Russia.

I just love this statement from the story. " ....the disarmament of the militias that helped overthrow the former government is a central requirement for the European Union...." Obama may import this.

Sounds like Obama already knew who was going to win his "last election".

Imagine what will happen to the 2A in our country if/when people have to choose between receiving "aid" from some benevolent benefactor and retaining their constitutional rights. It'd be dropped like a hot potato.

“For those who want to defend their country with an assault rifle in their hands, welcome to the National Guard or the Army,” Mr. Yatsenyuk said in a speech this week.

“We are ready to become partisans, and are preparing for this role,” Mr. Yarosh said. “Patriots with guns are the best protection.”

Very interesting to see that they have people on both sides of this.

So, according to the last paragraph, they don't want the partisans to have guns because they may actually shoot at the Russians?

Is it me or does the new Ukrainian government not want to defend themselves from Russia?
