Why did one of these shooters win a gun?
Pretty sure if you cant legally own one you could not claim it as a prize either...

“I think that could be a felony. That chairman had had to say he was the actual purchaser on the 4473 when he knew it was being purchased for someone else.”

Possibly or it could come under the bona-fide gift rule. The really clear way to do it was the gift certificate method I detailed in my final paragraph.

What’s a “heavy-duty” weapon?

Saturday, a church dinner fundraiser in my area had silent auctions. One of which was a shotgun. (Even the pastor put a bid on it.)

That's the question. I would hate to be at the mercy of some ATF goons opinion on that.

Has one ever been used in a crime?

No?

Well then STFU, BBC.

Don’t you guys have some acid attacks to cover up?

Well, my local Knights of Columbus still plans to have their gun raffle.

Can I buy tickets?

“Does anyone actually know someone who won a gun raffle?”

I’ve won a dozen or so over the years.

Why is the BBC weighing in on this...it’s none of their business.

Here in this part of the Big Empty of PA, the local Gentlemen’s Club commonly known as the Volunteer Fire Department had a gun raffle recently. I think they sold tickets only to people the VFD’s FC’s “woman” wanted to win as the rest of us in town were never offered an opportunity to buy a ticket. Interestingly the gross proceeds were never advertised, the winners never announced and dispersement of the profits never discussed in or out of the fire hall. Sounds like set up for gun dispersal to people who might not have deserved a gun to me. I am sure this is not an isolated case of gun corruption.

“Women and stupid men acting like women”

Please tell me that your post does not include Freeper women and others like us who do not indulge in “hysterical emotion”, have no patience or sympathy with those who do-and we only want macho men-no use for wusses...

Any article about guns by a cowardly Brit publication should have a Barf Alert, please. All Brits in the 21st Century are by definition cowardly, aren’t they?

Nope, they shouldn’t be canceled.
Public school property taxes should be canceled.

Let these sons of bitches pay to educate their own kids..
Spit..!

Are you using common sense or are you looking for an excuse to be angry at someone? Do you get what a generalization is, and that as a demographic, women tend to be liberal and make decisions on emotion?

Do you get upset when a generalization paints women in a good light, too?

There must be over 1000 raffles per year; Over 30,000 in the past 30 years; What is the track record of those 30,000?
(Someone with the real numbers can adjust above.)

Now compare those 30,000 to the 300,000 who lost the raffle and did not get the gun. What is the track record for them? Is there any difference? Does winning a raffle make someone crazy? or Evil?

There is no need to insult my common sense or anything else, since I did not insult you-your post read as if it pertained to all women-you did not clarify any exceptions-I was pointing out that women here are not weak sisters-not criticizing you-I’ve said here many times that I have little to no use for most women and consider them dishonest bitches-I refuse to work with them-I have 1 close female friend-my other friends are all straight, macho and male. Female Freepers are the exception-I do like them

We are going to the Gun Show at the Florida State Fairgrounds this weekend. I hope some moronic snowflakes will be there protesting, so I can tell them that my gun never killed anyone, wounded a thug trying to break in, not never killed.
