I d definitely buy a few tickets to help support the cause.Spiritual_Chaos said:The US is just like any other country! Only bigger! And so diverse!Elementary school cheerleaders asked to sell raffle tickets – with a semiautomatic weapon as the prize
Two Ohio mothers separately raised concerns about something their kids were asked to do by a youth football league: sell tickets to raffle off an AM15 rifle.
Sari Brittain says her 4-year-old daughter, a new New Richmond Junior Lions Football league cheerleader, was asked to participate in the team's fundraising event by selling 10 raffle tickets. The prize was a semiautomatic rifle, CBS affiliate WKRC reports.
Brittain was shocked that such a weapon would be part of a youth fundraiser. She was concerned about her daughter asking adults if they wanted a chance to win a gun.

It will be a great day when our schools have all the money they need, and our air force has to have a bake-sale to buy a bomber.
Why don't we just take the Dept of Education and Health & Human Services and roll it up into the DOD? Seems like it would solve a lot of funding problems0 -

I know this is a week old, I haven’t read this thread in a while. but I didn’t know anyone under 21 could buy a gun. Thought the age was 21 and therefore must have broke a law. But I just looked it up, you have to be 21 to buy from a licensed dealer, but you can buy from. Private party at 18.mcgruff10 said:
But did he break any firearms laws according to the article?mrussel1 said:
He allegedly broke a law and had means to carry out the threat. The arrest, felony charge and leaky subsequent inability to own a firearm legally in the future seems appropriatemcgruff10 said:
Did he break any firearm laws?Halifax2TheMax said:
I’ll answer with a question, how was he a “responsible” gun owner?mcgruff10 said:

Well to be fair aren’t these different people? I don’t think the school administrators can implement gun control. So I guess it makes sense to do what’s under your control. But I understand the frustration.mickeyrat said:

school administrators arent allocating the money for this. School Board did. And It still comes from the tax payer. I wonder if this was a ballot measure of funding you typically see on local elections.... If it was , then that district has effectively given up......cincybearcat said:

Peacearticle I read didnt mention anything about a cultural change within the school or district. Address the anger that is seems so prevalent among this group of WHITE MALES.Instead the tactical layout is going to solve it.
