(14,905 posts)But Im sure if the gun lobby wanted it to happen, and I dont understand why they didnt jump even more on that bandwagon to start with, it could be accomplished.
It was immediate thought that any American patriot with more than 1 AR in private ownership should be asked by the NRA to donate one or more to the Ukrainian war effort. The PR of doing that loud and proud would have been a big shot in the arm for their flagging organization, as would be the "see what happens when citizens are armed" propaganda.
All I can say is Russia must have more direct control of them than I had realized.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
