I suspect that might near every Ukrainian that wants one now has an automatic rifle or some even more effective, previously banned weapon. These weapons were denied, or seriously restricted, to citizens before the war started. So contrary to what the NRA would have you believe, citizens with more restrictive firearms laws than the US were able to be armed in very short order, by their government.

I contend that a majority of American of civilians armed with semi-auto weapons are much more danger to a free society than to a foreign government. I also content the the vast majority of Americans who own semi-automatic, carbine length, high-capacity removable magazine, rifles are the very same type of folks who wanted to overthrow the last free and fair elections, the same folks that march under a swastika or KKK flag, and the same kinds of folks who are devoted and proud racists. This is just my opinion based upon personal observation, over a long period of time, and I could be wrong.
