A pair of Prescott area lawmakers have put Attorney General Kris Mayes on the clock to figure out if City of Phoenix officials broke state laws by sending up to 600 seized firearms to police forces in Ukraine.
State Reps. Quang Nguyen, R-Prescott Valley, and Selina Bliss, R-Prescott, on Monday requested a "Senate Bill 1487" investigation, named after the process's initial bill filing, from Mayes as to whether the city's decision to ship 500-600 seized firearms to the Ukrainian Arsenal of Liberty is legal.
The city approved the plan in June.
Per Arizona law, Mayes has 30 days to issue an opinion on the matter. The city risks state money if she finds it has broken state law. State funds accounted for roughly one-third of the city's total funding in the last fiscal year.

Maybe FRs resident cheerleaders can chime in and tell us how this is “ok”.
I wonder how many of these guns are junk and will blow up in people’s faces?
And won’t the Arizona government (taxpayers) be liable?
Of course it is great! It disarms American citizens while simultaneously kills more Slavs overseas.
State funds accounted for roughly one-third of the city's total funding in the last fiscal year.
The Department of State has some rather strict rules about this sort of thing.

Remember the Putin Price Hike?
Biden was blaming Putin for all of America's economic woes, especially inflation and high gas prices before the Russians even had a chance to top off the fuel in their M-72 tanks after they crossed the Ukraine border.
Wag the dog baby, and then open up that bottomless check book from Biden's stash.
Nothing like a huge war in the most corrupt nation in the world to spread the wealth - especially to well connected friends and family of politicians and government officials
How many US funded Ukrainian pension payments does it take to keep congressman's mistress funded in the style she wishes to be accustomed to?
Just askin’ for a friend
They’ll probably end up back on the streets of Arizona for a nice profit.
Just be happy they went Ukraine. It will take a little longer for them to be used against us.
Last time, Obama, Holder and Janet Napolitano sent Arizona's guns to the cartels in Mexico and a Border Patrol officer was murdered with one of the Fast and Furious weapons
It's a Democrat thing
It’s a safe bet that some of those guns will end up on our southern border in the hands of the cartels, unless they’re a motley collection of calibers and types of actions, which is likely the case. Criminals prefer the type of firearms that they were provided with by Obama and Eric Holder.
—”I wonder how many of these guns are junk and will blow up in people’s faces?”
Interesting question.
Have you ever had a malfunction that caused injuries?
Not including return fire when you had a jam.
See it happen?
Our USMC Infantry son had a stateside malfunction with a SAW, and it took a large chunk out of his finger.
Can happen.
Are they sending shotguns with Damascus steel barrels?
Those are hanging over someone fire place.
500-600. Some wiggle room, there, at least in the reporting. A couple of the nicer specimens could disappear into someone’s closet.
Isn’t there laws against trafficking guns overseas?
Not if you do it fast and furiously =o/
there are two things necessary to Salvation ... money and gunpowder
It is only in the middle classes (referring to the professional class), Stephen, that people get into a state of dumb helpless horror when they find that there are wicked people in the world. In our class (the working class), we have to decide what is to be done with wicked people.

Yes there are but the Rats don’t care. Globohomo marches ever forward.
How many of those firearms are stolen and should be returned to their rightful owners?
I haven’t seen it happen, but i do know the kind of weapons that get turned in during “cash for guns” turn-ins.
They can be the worst kind of junk.
So it wouldn’t be surprising for one to blow up in a person’s face.
You don’t think that Ukraine knows anything about small arms?
Some of those Maricopa county bass turds need to go to jail. Stealing firearms from Americans and giving them to Ukies. Another Whiskey Tango FOXtrot Arizona Movement. I’m ashamed of my home state. I don’t think I could have lived there anymore.
Right you are, Sir!
