Miami preparing to send 200 discarded guns to Ukraine

CHICAGO (NewsNation) — As the U.S. government continues sending millions of dollars in weapons and tech to Ukraine, the city of Miami is trying to do their part by carrying out a gun buyback program with the goal of shipping those discarded weapons — almost 200 guns — to Irpin, Ukraine, a city just outside Kyiv. 

Miami’s buyback program paid residents up to $150 bucks to turn in their guns.

  2. So how is this supposed to work? Exactly who are they sending these firearms to? Who is handling the export regulations? This is not a serious news story.

  3. So are they shipping 20-25 different types of ammunition in sufficient quantities to make them more than just paper weights…??

    1. Anon, they are sending them ALL our paper weights, who in their right mind sells a decent weapon for $150.00? I'm waiting on my local Sheriff ( Grady Judd) to do the same, I got two to dispose of but he'll NEVER do it. I may have to visit another county?

  10. Wouldn't it be a hoot if Ukraine sent them back. OR maybe they should send them to Canada. I hear that the people up there are going to need them sooner than later.

  13. Oh such love for the Ukrainians...most guns from enterprises such as this are junk.
    I cannot wait to see their faces when the gun falls apart during the heat of battle.
    Almost like a Marx brothers' gag...
