Ukraine’s parliament on Wednesday voted to approve in the first reading a draft law which gives permission to Ukrainians to carry firearms and act in self-defence.
“The adoption of this law is fully in the interests of the state and society,” the authors of the draft law said in a note, adding that the law was needed due to “existing threats and dangers for the citizens of Ukraine.”


AKA“full mobilization.” A formal acknowledgment of what may be a fait accompl. Ukrainians haven’t been waiting for gun-control laws to get repealed to arm themselves in preparation for a bloody invasion by Russia:

Newsy spoke with a few Ukrainians who are buying their first gun in order to protect themselves, their families and their country.
Twenty-year-old law student Maria Skoropad is getting her first gun for her and her family. She’s also training to fire it.
“We decided that we have to learn how to use the weapons before buying it because we don’t want to harm ourselves,” she said.
One young person after the next is rotating through for training at a gun store and shooting range in Lviv.
“We understand that we have to take care of ourselves,” Skoropad continued. “And if somebody will come to our homes … We have to know how to rescue our families ourselves.”

If Ukraine has enough time, there may be a whole new consideration with the passage of Ukraine's version of the 2nd amendment. Let us hope it helps.
 
A government can never provide personal security. Any such belief is delusion. Any such belief is the doing of a nefarious state. That's why the right to keep and bear arms is necessary to establish a free state. Not because we might need to fight back against our own state. Because we will prevent that need by never giving it the power to lie to us like that. It's necessary as a prevention. Not as a remedy.

Ukrainians will, however, be fighting for their culture.

Despite what the Far Right is telling us, America isn't under threat of an imminent invasion. Ukraine is.

We are.
We're under threat of imminent invasion BY the Right.
