Funny how the article only featured commentary from antis and not one person other than the Sheriff saying it was a good idea. That wouldn't be selective publication would it?

I snickered how one of the antis had a last name of "marksman"

Oxford Mayor Geoff Henry, who has spent considerable energy trying to get a community discussion about gun control going in that borough, expressed some dismay at the choice of an assault-style rifle in the raffle.

“I so support the Second Amendment, and the right of citizens to bear arms,” he said Monday. “But I am not sure why an average citizen would need to own an assault rifle. And I am a little concerned that the county sheriff’s department would need to raffle off that type of gun.”

Henry, a member of the national Mayors Against Illegal Guns Coalition, said he recognized there was little to do to stop the raffle from taking place other than public opinion.

“There is nothing to prevent them from raffling off this weapon, other than where we are as a county in thinking about gun control and gun violence. But I would have hoped they would have taken that into consideration before choosing that type of weapon.”

Buuuuuuuuuuuuuut, I though MAIG were only against illegal guns. How could he be against this since this is a perfectly legal gun with a background check???

Inquiring minds want to know Dick........I mean Henry.

On a positive note, I will make sure to call tomorrow and congratulate Bunny Welsh on not caving to these moronic asses.
