Address to Owners of Weapons (Ukraine)
Ukrainian Association of Weapon Owners ^

Address to Owners of Weapons

Owners of weapons,

We know that you are the most moderate and responsible part of the Ukrainian society, which so far did not participate in the standoff.

Unfortunately, however the conflict transitioned to the armed stage.

The control over the situation is effectively lost.

Now each one of us bears personal responsibility for his own safety and the safety of his family, and in this difficult time, also for the safety of his fellow countrymen.

Weaponry in the hands of responsible citizens has been in all times the bet peacemaker.

We call you to act, governed by your own convictions and all-mankind moral values and, in case of necessity, give a resolute resistance to the criminal elements. In all the rest we rely on your reason and responsibility.

Ukrainian Association of Weapon Owners

P.S. As regards local coordination, turn to info@zbroya.info

If you want to be on this right wing, monarchy, paleolibertarianism and nationalism ping list, but are not, please let me know. If you are on it and want to be off, also let me know. This ping list is not used for Catholic-Protestant debates.

Ownership of guns in Ukraine: 6.6 per 100 people.
Ownership of guns in USA: 101 per 100 people.

I don't know how things will turn out for Ukraine, but in the US, when the flag goes up, I think we'll do OK.

The problem is each side sees the other side as “the criminal elements.” And, from each perspective, they’re right. This statement, unless there’s something I don’t understand that’s implied, says nothing.

I hope they got a lot of weapons and ammo into civilian hands when they their brief experiment with freedom. Maybe, they can preserve it.

A collection of videos, that purports to prove the use of live ammunition by the government forces:

I reproduce the photos directly:


Kalashnikov automatic rifles


Yellow armband are worn by the militia (i.e. government forces) and by hired "Titushki"


The titushki bandits with Internal Affairs Ministry bandits


Armed bandit with the yellow band, caught on car camera

Ukraine has conscription, so most adult males have at least a degree of military training and experience, and its not like guns are hard to get hold of in Eastern Europe...

Soros v. Putin. Difficult choice. And in the top picture, the only weapon I see being actually used is the Molotov.

Another, with artistic flair









This man is identified as a mathematician, fellow of Ukrainian Academy of sciences, with his son. Not exactly unemployed hooligans.

At least three are Kalashnikov rifles in #9 top, folding metal butt.

The choice is no longer about Soros, and probably never has been.
