Good for them. I should have enough parts to build a couple more ARs, might consider donating one to them to raffle.

Little kids and guns is a bad idea, imo.

Do the kids get to play with the gun first? Are they planning on doing a background check so they don't raffle the gun off to someone itching to shoot children?

I wonder if they'll hand the winner of loaded gun with no questions asked.

How cute. It will be great when one of those kids gets inspired to bring a gun like that to school and settle a few scores with some colleagues....again.

“Ammo is just as hard to get as the firearms these days, unfortunately,” said Charity Bucher.

Haha. Gun nuts really are crazy... I don't even own a gun and know where I can buy bullets by the box full.

Teaching children to understand and respect firearms for the potentially lethal tool they are is always a good idea.

I totally agree with this, I have been taught how to shoot a gun and how to properly handle one. Though the flip side of your statement is that it is just as bad to let children think a gun is toy to be played with.

As much as you seem to think it is, a gun is not a toy.


My 15 yo. daughter has had her own gun for 10 years.

She now has 3, including a 38 police revolver and a wood stock 223 semi auto.
