Florida Weapons Maker Donates Arms to Ukrainians

Kel-Tec, a family-owned weapons manufacturing company, is sending $200,000 worth of weapons to Ukraine.

"We have a distributor in Ukraine, and they had ordered a bunch of firearms from us, and then the invasion happened," said Chad Enos, spokesman for Kel-Tec, based in Cocoa, Florida. "So, we lost contact with them. We reestablished contact with them; they made it to a safe place. But, while we were out of contact with them, we thought it would be a good idea to go ahead and donate that order."

Twitter users took sides over the issue, with some vocal liberal voices crying foul:

Museful Mountaineer tweeted, "how is it possible to both hate and love something at the same time?!"

Chance tweeted, "we do have plenty guns here to arm them a few times."

Marilynn Kobza tweeted, "this is how guns should be used!! for war. Not by white supremacy advocates in USA!!"

"When reality such as this strikes, those people that are anti-gun, they learn very quickly what it means to be able to defend yourself, and that goes for invasion of another country to walking out to the parking lot and being invaded by two criminals," added Kel-Tec's Enos.

Kel-Tec is not the only Florida company sending weapons to Ukraine. Adams Arms of Brooksville, Florida, recently announced it was sending carbine rifles to the war-torn country.
