Like many pundits, Michael McFaul took a quick break this past week from his usual area of “expertise.” Instead of pontificating 24/7 about the need to funnel massive amounts of uncontrolled arms into Ukraine, he adroitly pivoted to pontificating about the need to more stringently control arms in the US. McFaul, a former Ambassador to Russia who is currently working with the Ukraine government to formulate war-related policy recommendations, issued the following command:
@McFaul
To all the manufacturers of AR15s, please stop. Just do the right thing. And the rest of us might consider stopping to focus on a legislative solution, and instead focus on a non-violent civic resistance campaign against these AR15 makers directly.
Few figures on the punditry scene are more adept at getting themselves into comical face-plant scenarios than McFaul — or more useful at highlighting unexamined contradictions of the yammering liberal commentariat. In this instance, McFaul demonstrates why he and likeminded commentators are so steadfastly determined to compartmentalize their positions on foreign policy versus domestic policy. Because it would apparently never even occur to McFaul that there might be some tension between his passionate calls to aggressively curtail gun circulation in the US, and his similarly passionate calls to circulate a giant number of guns in Ukraine.
McFaul and company demand both policies with roughly equal ardor, voicing them in the standard register that has come to define almost all left-liberal advocacy: “this thing must be done right now or everyone will die.”

I built my own. Those I sold them to say they are great rifles.
McFail is one of the vilest neocon pieces of cr#@p on the Twittsewer.
“this thing must be done right now or everyone will die.”
Little boys crying wolf - I hope people have had enough of that in recent years.
I built my own as well.
By building, I mean that I purchased a stripped lower receiver, a lower receiver parts kit, and an assembled upper receiver with barrel, gas block, and hand guard pre-installed. Then I spend a couple of hours putting parts into the lower receiver, and slapped the upper onto the lower, and viola! I ‘built’ my own AR15.
Thank you Andersen Manufacturing and Palmetto State Armory!
Four excerpted paragraphs and still no match to the thread title.
SMDH! So we aren’t supplying M-16/A-4s but civilian versions? From Cabelas?
It’s a lengthy article...
*Please read this blog for hits.
I guess someone should warn Russia that Ukrainians are going to go crazy and shoot them.
“The Texas Shooter and the Ukraine Military Get Their AR-15s From the Same Place”
They both eggs from the same place, chickens. So chickens are EVIL. Chickens must be destroyed.
