Phoenix politicians sending hundreds of guns to Ukraine

Phoenix, Arizona – The City of Phoenix City Council quietly voted last Wednesday to unanimously approve a plan to send hundreds of firearms, valued at an estimated $200,000, to Ukraine.

The Council consists of eight members, elected by their district, and the Mayor representing the city at large. Mayor Katie Gallego and Council members approved nearly 150 agenda items, including the firearms transfer agreement, in one swift motion according to The Gateway Pundit. 

Firearms that were lost or forfeited following a court order and remain in the city’s possession for 30 days or more will be given away.

However, the new plan states that Phoenix will “transfer” these guns through a private company. It is unclear whether donating firearms to a foreign country is legal.
