County Executive Bruce Blakeman said he’ll be holding a 4-day gun drive to assist Ukraine’s defiant resistance against Vladimir Putin and his military’s devastating assault on their country.
“Just watching the Ukrainian residents making Molotov cocktails in a brewery out of beer bottles shows they’re in a desperate flight and we can’t stand by and do nothing,” he said before mentioning the Ukrainian president’s rejection of the US’s evacuation offer last week.
Ukrainian President Zelensky has repeatedly said his citizens are in dire need of weapons to protect themselves from Russian forces invading their nation. “As President Zelensky said: he doesn’t need a ride, he needs weapons” said Blakeman.
Blakeman said it will be a four-day gun collection to run Friday through next Monday.
Individuals are asked to drop off or buy and then donate firearms at a licensed gun store, SP Firearms Unlimited, in Franklin Square, New York.

Too bad we don’t have the 83 Billion in Military Equipment that Biden left behind in Afghanistan for the Taliban.
