assault rifles, I fall short of the opinion that they should be passed out to raffle contest winners. The problem is, the message it sends. Somewhere along the line the it seems some people forget that these are very powerful weapons that people should be trained to use safely. These aren't water guns.
For a politician to be using an assault weapon as a prize in a campaign raffle is another example of how symbolism plays a huge role in politics. It's certainly not about public safety. In fact, the word "safe" doesn't appear anywhere in the letter below. Why not offer classes to learn how to properly use and store and AR-15, as part of the giveaway?
I wonder what Rep. Broun (a doctor, btw) would do if his raffle gun were later used in a horrific crime? In his defense, he is by far, not the only person to sponsor an event like this. Republicans, who seem to love this type of symbolism, are doing it more frequently than ever to boost their campaigns.
From the desk of Georgia Rep. Paul Broun:
Dear Patriot -
As one of the most conservative members of Congress, and a staunch supporter of the 2nd Amendment, I am constantly under attack for my values and beliefs.
Today I'm fighting back.
How would you like to start off 2014 with a brand new AR-15 for free?AR-15 Barack Obama would like nothing more than to ban the AR-15 rifle - and that's exactly why I've decided to give away a free AR-15 to one of my fellow 2nd Amendment supporters.
That's right, follow this link to add your name to be automatically entered to win a semi-automatic AR-15.
All you need to do is follow this link to enter and register to win an AR-15. The deadline to enter is Thursday, February 27th.
You see, it's no secret that the Democrats and liberal media would love to take away our guns and mandate every aspect of our lives, but I refuse to let them get away with that.
Your thoughts???
