CNN,
www.CNN.com ran a TV spot & interview about the GOP(Grand Old Party) using a NIB Glock model 23 .40 pistol as a fund raiser/prize.
CNN's beef was that a Glock 9x19mm(a 19 compact model) was used by the nutjob wacko to shoot & kill several people at a AZ political event.
This is where US Rep Giffords was nearly killed with a massive head wound.
A Pima County GOP rep gave a hue & cry over the incident but in fairness, I agree with the CNN reporters.
It is a bit tacky to raffle off a handgun from the exact same company that produced the firearm that murdered several citizens from your own community.
A Remington 870 12ga shotgun, a Ruger Mini-30 rifle or a S&W .44 DA revolver could have been replaced by the GOP group in AZ.
I'm a 2A supporter, NRA member & US armed forces veteran but even I'd say the GOP leadership in Pima County "screwed the pooch"
.
