A beloved Sunday school teacher dies of lung cancer. To raise money for a memorial, his class raffles off a year's supply of Camels.
A young man is lynched. To raise funds for his funeral, a local outdoors retailer raffles off a large skein of rope and a book on how to tie knots.
A well-liked police office is shot dead while on duty. To raise money for his family's expenses, a local business raffles off an assault rifle.
Warning: This a hotly debated topic!
While we support Second Amendment rights, there is a time and place for everything. When we first saw an ad for a gun raffle to raise money for a fallen officer's family, we thought it was someone's idea of a sick joke. Apparently many others did as well. Due to an overwhelming number of complaints, this ad has been removed from Facebook.
Please tell us that most in our troubled nation have not sunk so low as to feel what this country needs is more violence...
While perhaps lacking tact, the intentions were most likely nobel. Be careful when judging others without examining yourself, first.
