Miami police want to buy Floridians’ guns — and send them to Ukraine PHOTO

23 June 2022 09:13

Miami police are seeking to get weapons off the streets — and into the hands of Ukrainian soldiers fighting Russia.

That was the stated goal of the “Guns 4 Ukraine” buyback program that the city’s police department held on June 18, The Washington Post reports.

 Police were offering $50 for handguns, $100 for shotguns and $150 for “high-powered” rifles such as AK-47s or AR-15s.

On a sunny day in Florida’s second-largest city, people lined up in cars and on motorcycles outside Miami City Hall, where law enforcement officers waited to collect and inspect their firearms. “No questions asked!” the Miami Police Department posted on Twitter.

Since Russia’s invasion in late February — and Ukraine’s repeated pleas for military aid from the West — some Americans have sought ways to send weapons and ammunition to Ukraine.

But U.S. and foreign export license requirements have complicated these initiatives — and Miami’s buyback program has proved controversial on some conservative gun sites, where commenters have expressed skepticism that the collected weapons would actually make it to the war’s front lines or be useful for the fight.
