According to Miami Police Chief Manuel Morales, this managed to collect 68 weapons. But, according to him, only “a few of them are suitable for sending to our friends in Ukraine.”
In addition, US and foreign export license requirements make transfer difficult. And the Miami ransom program itself has sparked controversy on some conservative arms sites. Commentators there have expressed skepticism that the collected weapons will indeed be at the forefront or useful for the fight.

It will be recalled that on May 25, a student staged a mass shooting at a school in Texas , killing at least 15 people. After that, a wave of actions swept the country demanding to strengthen the rules for the sale and purchase of firearms.
