Last week, the City Council of Phoenix approved a resolution to send unclaimed guns to the national police of Ukraine.

2 Republican lawmakers say Phoenix's plan to donate firearms to Ukrainian police is illegal
Last week, the Phoenix City Council voted unanimously to donate hundreds of unclaimed firearms to the National Police of Ukraine.
Republican state Rep. Quang Nguyen says that runs afoul of state law.
Nguyen, the chair of the House Judiciary Committee, wrote a letter along with committee vice chair and fellow Republican Selina Bliss this week that cites a state statute that says unclaimed firearms must be sold to a business authorized to receive and dispose of weapons.
Interestingly, and probably not coincidentally,, Nguyen is the president of an NRA-affiliated organization.

In her legislative biography, Bliss claims membership in the same organization
Nguyen has taken money from a multitude of pro-gun organizations.
From some filings with the Arizona Secretary of State -
In addition to being pro-gun, Bliss will refer to herself as a doctor. It's not a complete misrepresentation - while she is a nurse and not a medical doctor, she does have a doctorate and merits the title.
Though as a person in the medical profession she should be aware that someone with a PhD may want to avoid engendering confusion with such a referral.
