Great DUmmie idea! Let's donate American "assault rifles" to Ukranians!

[FunkyZero]

Yea, just what they need, a bunch of ATF friendly .223 semi-auto rifles forcibly confiscated from legal American gun owners.

U.S. assault rifles for Ukraine
Wesley Clark @WesClarkjr 6h
Why don't we have a program where Americans can donate the 5-10 million privately owned assault rifles they do not need to Ukraine? It would help both countries.

...NRA estimates that between 8.5 million and 15 million assault rifles are in circulation in the U.S..

1. Do it! Wesley Clark, you have the credentials, chops and connections
to move your idea forward.

2. Great idea. Depopulate the US gun collection to Ukraine.

9. The American people who own the vast number of assault weapons are keeping them
for the civil war that they dream of. They will need those weapons to purge the undesirables. The same folks would be more likely to donate them to Russia than Ukraine. After all, Putin and Trump are good friends...

13. Send the owners with them to Ukraine so they can finally fulfill their freedom fighter fantasies.

22. Nice thought, but in my opinion, most of the assault rifles privately owned in this country
are by brainless right wing idiots who would more than likely choose to donate them to Russia over Ukraine.

Oh, FFS.  Where in sam hell do they come up with this **** anyway?

[SVPete]

Good little Proggies, always figuring out uses for other people's possessions!

[jukin]

The disconnect from reality is staggering... even for the DUmpmonkeys.

[ADsOutburst]

This is an example of why we can't have conversations with the left. Not because their viewpoints are so well-grounded (they're not), but because they spend so much time and energy building straw man conservative viewpoints, and working themselves up into a rage arguing against the imaginary version of their enemies.

Most DUpipo don't know the difference between semi- and full-automatic, let along the difference between .223 and 5.56 NATO. Some of them probably still believe some DUmmie's AR-15 exploding hog story.

Lol I remember the exploding hog story.
And a few trying to point out it was bs being swarmed

[DefiantSix]

Apparently the DUmbasses forget what happened to the "sporting rifles" donated to the British Home Guard by generous Americans at the beginning of World War II. 

I haven't.

[SSG Snuggle Bunny]

Who says we won't need them here?

In the DUmmies defense the hog did just eat a 1lb can of  Tannerite.

DUmmies, why on earth would a die-hard capitalist be best friends with a commie who spent his younger years ridding his nation of die-hard capitalists and other “undesirables” ? - this is like saying “You know what goes great with root beer ? Onions.”

It makes no sense at all.. well, neither do most of you folks - so I suppose that I really shouldn’t be surprised.

[dandi]

We're sending single-shot .22s.

No one needs an AR-15 to defend themselves with.

[Old n Grumpy]

A semi auto AR15 is no match fro a military grade select fire AK74.

[Mr Mannn]

IF this were a free will donation I would support it. But once a DUmmy gets involved, you know it will turn into a confiscation scheme.

The AR-15 uses 5.56 mm bullet, while AK-47 uses 7.62 mm bullet.

Quite - this has got nothing to do with the Ukraine, this is simply DUmmies seeing how they can take advantage of other people's misery to further their own agenda.

The AR-15 uses 5.56 mm bullet, while AK-47 uses 7.62 mm bullet.

The Russians went to an updated version of the AK47 in the late 70's to the newer AK74 that fires a 5.45 x 39 round.

The bullet has a long hollow nose that collapses on impact causing devastating
 wounds.

[dutch508]

Most has been updated to AK-102s. Still fiering the smaller roubd, but there are plenty of the older stuff around.

Confiscation of American-civilian-owned "assault rifles" was the unstated starting point of this "brilliant" DUmmie-idea.

[jukin]

I have a better idea. Now just hear me out.

How about we take all the budget for EBT, SSDI, and the other welfare that the DUchebags love so much and send that to the corrupt Ukrainians?

What if it's like mine, with the optional chainsaw bayonet attachment?

How abiut DON"'T?
