Ukraine is the dominating news story on any channel. Most of the commentary has been fairly consistent, reports on where the Russians have attacked, how the Ukrainians are responding, all of this is a standard message being reported.
Except - the reports of the Ukrainian government ordering men 18 to 60 to stay and fight. As of this morning reports of 18,000 guns have be distributed to anyone who wants to fight for their country. The impact of this is similar to our Revolutionary War, where citizens fought along with the military to repel invading forces.
Why are the major networks not reporting on a government arming its citizens?
Because, it would just reaffirm our US Constitution and the Bill of Rights on the 2nd Amendment. They have reported and supported the end of American citizens owning firearms for years. I believe this is one reason why America has stayed free for so long. Social media will eventually get the word out that armed citizens are a critical element in the defense of not only a country but for everyday personal protection.
