Ukrainians want 2nd Amendment to be added to their Constitution

[gvbcraig]

After the massacre at the hands of the government last week, many in the Ukraine are pushing for gun rights for the citizen. This should a lesson for us to hold on to it at all cost,

Ukrainians demand their own ?Second Amendment? after government massacre in Kiev

Their proposed version is much weaker than ours.

Am I missing the actual text of what they're wanting to put in the Constitution or is it not in the article?

It'll never happen

how many times do you have to hit someone on the head before they realize they are getting hurt.

One of the reasons I am so into the right to bear arms is from the stories my grandfather used to tell me about how the Soviets took away everyone's guns before they came and took away their land. He escaped over 70 years ago. Those that stayed behind, will they ever learn? I am counting on the internet and social media to open their eyes and realize that there is no one but themselves to save them from their own government.

Yeah, it's working now. Something went hey-wire on my end.

I saw another thread on this as well:

They are still WORKING on the wording according to the story.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

All was going pretty well until:

Exercising the right to free possession of firearms is governed by applicable law and may be limited only by the court on the individual. "

I guess it'd still be better than where they are now but we have an amendment that says "shall not be infringed" and we see how it''s constantly under attack. I can only imagine how watered down this right will be for the Ukrainians.

A friend of mine was arguing the point that they took back their country with nothing more then baseball bats and 2x4's. My reply was did you not see the video of them being shot by snipers ??? If it was not for the whole world watching it would have been an all out slaughter of the unarmed protesters. Some peoples children will just never get it !!!

good on them for trying...i hope there are a few smart americans visiting that could lend them a hand at the wording....i think some "shall not be infringed"'s are in order

It didn't work here. Why should we expect it to work there? Something more along the lines of "Touch 'em and ****ing die" seems more appropriate.

 

[Street Howitzer]

Just because our rights are melting away at the hands of ignorant voters and crooked politicians doesn't mean that they can't do the right thing. I wish them the best.

Well that's just great. Now the Ukrainians are going to start buying and hoarding all the ammo, too.

It would actually be heartwarming to see that. Even if it meant that some things we get here become more scarce.

The smoke hasn't even settle, and they're already asking for 35 Billion. My money is on them rushing back into Russia's arms. They wanted to enter the EU, and now that seem like the obstacle (Russia) has been removed. Well the EU members aren't exactly gonna cotton to a new member walking in with it's hands out. Then of course, even though it runs contrary to our interest, OUR govt very well may pony up the dough creating a more imposing EU compliments of US tax dollars.

Kut (wouldn't put it past the simpletons running the nation)

That's my only thought. Can you imagine the price of guns and ammo if the entire world was as free (in respects to firearms) as we are? Can't even imagine the price of a Mosin Nagant when you've got hundreds of millions of people wanting to buy one instead of just the millions that want to now. The firearms we love really are available for purchase by only a fraction of the world's population. I wonder what fraction of world population has easy access to firearms? Can't be very big. Heck, India and China are highly restrictive and that's 1/3 the world's population right there.

Heck, once you've got that many people wanting one factories the world over will start churning out reproductions. Maybe it wouldn't be so bad price wise. Just a thought.
