do you think it is insensitive?

(love some of the comments)

I voted yes not because of the raffle per say, but how about picking a different manufacturer?
maybe a rifle instead of a handgun.

[GreenBlood10]

Nope, people are too sensitive.

Would it be insensitive for someone to raffle off a car in chappaquidic?

It is sort of like driving drunk to a funeral, for a person who was killed by a drunk driver!

Would it be insensitive for someone to raffle off a car in chappaquidic?

yes it would be, if the car was the same and it was right after the incident
and it was right in town!

So after what period of time would this gun raffle be "appropriate"?

[knight0334]

I voted no.

Virtually every make and model of gun has been used to kill someone somewhere. Should be ban Mauser rifles from raffles that benefit holocaust victims because the hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of people that were killed with Mauser rifles?

Would it make the haters feel better if they were raffling a Beretta M9 instead?

Now, had they offered a autographed portrait of Jared Lee Loughner - yeah, that would be in bad taste.

Glocks are the most popular handguns in the country. You might as well complain about all gun raffles. I'm sure those idiots will!

Man, I can't believe Glocks are evil again after all these decades.

The correct thing to have done, would have been to offer Mrs. Giffords a complimentary ticket - maybe she'll win, so she won't be defenseless ever again.
