Some parents expressed concerns over a growing trend of raffling off guns as a fundraiser for their kids youth organizations. After multiple calls, EverythingLubbock.com looked into it, and confirmed the Frozen Ropes baseball league is raffling 4 AR-15s with all the proper paperwork. The Lubbock Cooper ISD Band Booster Club said they are holding a gun raffle as well.

"They raffled off a pickup and a motorcycle. Today there's lots of things that are big ticket items that cost lots of money, have lots of value, and are a better representation of our community and our students, than guns."
Yeah? What if I don't want a truck or motorcycle, but I DO want a nice gun?
HAH? |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
Government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem.... We've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people. Well, if no one among us is capable of government himself, then who among us has the capacity to govern someone else? All of us together, in and out of government, must bear the burden. The solutions we seek must be equitable, with no one group singled out to pay a higher price. — Ronald Reagan |
