GOOGLE TRANSLATION: "We are ordinary citizens who care about the fate of Kyiv.
We understand that external forces openly provoke a civil war in Ukraine. The consequence of these provocations could be a total mess and banditry in our city. We do not want to happen again in Kiev, Odessa tragedy or Slavic.
Our difference is that coordinators and fixed asset "Kiev Legion" is a legal gun owners who have the right to use it to protect yourself and neutralization of armed criminals.
We work together with the "Ukrainian Association of gun owners," which systematically favor of granting citizens right to own rifles.
We have set up operational headquarters, which already has its focal points in eight of the ten districts of Kyiv. Coordinators are selected residents of the district, who wish to participate in the activities of staff.
We will be forming patrols that will monitor the situation in the city of Kyiv residents to inform and communicate with law enforcement agencies. We also conduct theoretical and practical military training members of the "Legion."
If necessary, we will have a structure that can quickly mobilize gun owners and activists to protect the city and its residents."
Perfectly consistent with what the Founding Fathers had in mind for us, and that the Swiss have perfected. The more countries arm their law-abiding citizens the more obnoxious gun confiscation laws will appear.
“A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”
Somewhat google-ized in translation, but the message is clear: citizens organizing resistance to invasion or tyranny, or both.
What if we had city-based militias here? The local po-po would be more crazed against that than they are against criminals, IMO.
