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? |

TO REMEMBER |
| The right of a citizen to bear arms, in lawful defense of himself or the State, is absolute. He does not derive it from the State government. It is one of the high powers" delegated directly to the citizen, and `is excepted out of the general powers of government.' A law cannot be passed to infringe upon or impair it, because it is above the law, and independent of the lawmaking power." [Cockrum v. State, 24 Tex. 394, at 401-402 (1859)] |
