this is a good thing
we all know that the rifle was not responsible for last week's senseless violence
the violence was solely the fault of one crazed and disturbed individual
we also know that law enforcement had reason to be wary of this young man - perhaps they were too busy chasing Russians and other boogey men to adequately do their job...
anyway - kudos to these kids for moving forward with their planned raffle
it's good to see responsible people standing up for Constitutional rights
Third-graders are selling AR-15 raffle tickets in Missouri
Third-graders in a Missouri community are continuing to sell raffle tickets for an AR-15 to benefit their traveling baseball team after the same type of rifle was used to slaughter and injure dozens at a Florida school.
Levi Patterson, the coach of a 9-and-under baseball team in Neosho, Mo., told The Star the idea was conceived before the shooting in Parkland, Fla.
A father of one of the players — who co-founded Black Rain Ordnance Inc., a weapons purveyor in Neosho — offered the weapon for the raffle.
Patterson said by phone Saturday that he considered finding a different raffle item after Wednesday’s mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School, but ultimately decided to “turn it into a positive thing” after “getting the hate.”
