The Long Island politician is asking people to drop off or buy and then donate firearms at a licensed gun store.


A Nassau County politician wants Long Islanders to donate guns so he can ship them to Ukraine for use in the ongoing conflict with Russia.

GOP County Executive Bruce Blakeman told The Post he’s arranging the stunt to draw attention to Ukraine’s defiant resistance against Vladimir Putin and his military’s devastating assault on their country.

“Just watching the Ukrainian residents making Molotov cocktails in a brewery out of beer bottles shows they’re in a desperate flight and we can’t stand by and do nothing,” he said before mentioning the Ukrainian president’s rejection of the US’s evacuation offer last week.

Sorry about the source, but he freely admits he has no way to ship these weapons. Just more grandstanding.

1. This is not helpful

It detracts from beneficial organizations and efforts that can actually do some good for the people of Ukraine. Self-promotion by a shameless gooper flack.

2. I think it will be a cold day in hell before the gun humpers relinquish their arms...YMMV..

"you know, we will need them for our own war over here"...

3. Why don't these gun owners sign up for the foreign legion

instead?

4. Nonsense idea. Might as well just drink beer and send the empties for Molotov cocktails.

5. Zelensky asked for ammo, not guns.

I doubt he has much stock of common US caliber ammo, and a bunch of old surplus Mosin-Nagants aren't worth the shipping costs.
