Those AKs killed no one
The guy on the trigger did
Junk. Real People own H&K's.
A number of colleges have competitive shooting teams. Even Yale teaches trap and skeet as physical activities. So yes, there are places for guns on colleges. The Constitution is still in effect on college campuses. In spite of what the academics say contrarywise.
The weapon is not actually on campus. Essentially, they are raffling off a voucher to be cashed in at the local gun store. Once there is a winner, he/she will need to go through all the legal channels to obtain the weapon. From my understanding, the weapon is not, nor will it ever be, on the campus. There is a weapons ban at Clemson. I do not believe it will even be purchased until there is a winner, and he/she passes the background tests, etc.
There is actually a competitive air-rifle team at Clemson. Though, to my knowledge, they are not involved with the raffle.
I cant afford HKs
I have 2 cetmes tho that I'd shoot against a G3
I cant see spending 1500 bucks for something that is the same as a 300 gun minus cosmetics
I love the Cetme design though heavy its like shooting a 22 in .308
requires some maintenence but so does the G3
So much fuss over one weapon. And to think this used to be a military school.
Bulls**t. I had several guns in my dorm at Dartmouth, and shot them in the deep woods behind.
Guns belong anywhere men are free.

People just go nuts over the appearance of the AK, they see it as uber deadly.
There are far more deadly weapons out there, but the AK has reached Icon status amongst the masses.
They are great guns for what they are designed to do but people ascribe far more wow factor than they deserve.
I believe the one being auctioned is the semi-auto type. It is not even the full auto.
So how is that Integral Calculus mid term going? Are you ready for it?
absolutly semi auto.
Youd have to have a class III liscence just to enter the drawing otherwise.
IMO full auto isnt value added, its spray and pray
Im not even saying I necessarily think it is a good idea. I'm just trying to get some of the details out there, because alot of people are confused about the whole situation.
If 60 people enter at 5 bucks they make even.
There are how many students at clemson?
I think somewhere in the neighborhood of 15,000 total, grads and undergrads.
"Guns belong anywhere men are free." Well said.
I realize that it's South Carolina, so I'll try to get clarification...
Is it a "raffle", a "rifle", or a "raffle of a rifle"?
so if 1 % enter 150 entrants = 750 bucks
Thats a profit of 400 bucks on a 350 investment
Are you for real?
First off, guns are still legal. Your attitude only reinforces that guns are zaprescheny for the proletariat.
Besides, who the hell is going to buy raffle tickets for the collected works of Bertrand Russell?
