MINEOLA, N.Y. -- Help for Ukraine is coming in all forms, including refugee and medical supplies.

But on Thursday, an unusual collection was launched on Long Island. Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman is asking legal gun owners to donate firearms, CBS2's Carolyn Gusoff reported.

"We could get a million guns to the people of the Ukraine," Blakeman said.

Citing French resistance during World War II, Blakeman is asking Americans to arm Ukrainians with donated long guns.

Hold on. How many millions or billions have been given to Ukraine so far? I might consider selling one. Nah, probably not. Let Brandon buy them with his 10% cut.

Why do they need our guns? I thought the media was saying there are dead Russian soldiers everywhere...just take those, they’re not being used anymore.

Yes, I love the M1. It makes the kick a .30-06 feel more like a 5.56.

I think it is illegal to export firearms without a license.

Aure...I’ll send one via FedEx today. Too bad all the airports in Ukraine are closed, occupied, or blown to bits.

I already shipped a FULL crate of firearms, with AMMO, to Kyiv the other day. Unfortunately, it went by cargo ship, which has sunk.

In the middle of the deepest part of the Atlantic, no less.

Brilliant way to disarm Americans

I thought the vary same thing.
And yet, Biden can leave 80 BILLION+ dollars of our military hardware in Afghanistan and THAT’S just fine!

Waiting for the ‘tragic boating accident’ comments...

If the lefties got a million American long arms donated, the boat taking them to Ukraine would surely have an accident. Probably collide with that burning ship full of cars. Oops.

The federal government has plenty of firearms to give to Ukraine. Asking private citizens to donate their firearms, which are very difficult to attain in New York no less, is not necessary. Helping Ukraine in this respect should have happened months ago BEFORE Russia invaded Ukraine not WHEN Russia invaded and, as usual, our senile and corrupt president didn’t move on it. Moreover, they don’t just need Semi-automatic long-rifles or pistols. They need anti-tank missiles, air defense support, and machine guns.

This sounds more like a clever plan to disarm Americans.

Yeah because I trust a New York politician attempting an honorable feel good news grabbing moment.

It was an airplane. I was flying my Fokker Dr 1 replica and it crashed over the Atlantic. Lost all my guns.
