Youth Baseball Team Raffling AR-15 Rifle
Yep, you read that right. A local shop donated the firearm and is running the raffle for them. I'm sure the antis have their shorts in a wad over this.

Re: Youth Baseball Team Raffling AR-15 Rifle
Good for them but considering Joe Biden's recent comments, he would be disappointed they didn't raffle off a shotgun instead. Hey, what's good for the goose should be good for the gander. Members of Congress did it in Washington D.C. of all places.

Happens all the time 'round here.
No-one ever says a word about it. But, then most of the media thinks Wyoming is not part of the USA!

Hardly qualifies as news in lots of places, though might be seen as odd in NYC, Chicago, or D.C. I have seen local volunteer fire departments and other organizations raffle firearms many times. Kudos to Atwood Armory for supporting the team. This is probably a very good time for a gun raffle.
Todd Starnes needs to learn the difference between an auction and a raffle, though.  The terms are not interchangeable. ( I recently attended a Friends of NRA dinner where both a raffle and auction were conducted.  )
