BassnChris Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 I hate fundraisers....I mean I hate them with a passion. That being said....My son's baseball team's organization has come up with what I think is a pretty cool fundraiser. They are raffling off 6 fireams.....I just love the fact that it is not candy, cookies, popcorn...it is firearms.

But this one is by far the best idea they have had...in my opinon........I like the idea that it that it helps reinforce the 2nd ammendment right with the kids. I am so tired of the politically correct crud we have to put up with. Whatever happened to the 'take responsibilty for your actions' or ' self accountabilty' ? Why do people think that their right to dislike something should trump another persons right to like it? Sorry...didn't mean to get up on the soapbox. Just wanted to share what I consider a great idea and maybe let the idea spread to others. 2 Quote
Super User K_Mac Posted November 16, 2015 Super User Posted November 16, 2015 I like it. Even that 9mm carbine is a decent prize. Much more useful than the usual nonsense. I hope it is very successful. Quote
Big C Posted November 16, 2015 Posted November 16, 2015 That's pretty awesome, I would go for the Supernova 12 Ga. Quote

Most of the time the funds come right out of Dads pocket one way or another. Some of our volunteer fire co`s throw some gun bashes for 40 or 50 guns,cash every 1/2 hr,even a Harley one time. They sell all the tickets all the time. C22 Quote
68camaro Posted November 17, 2015 Posted November 17, 2015 Awesome, great league leadership. I hope your sons team exceeds their goal. Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted November 17, 2015 Super User Posted November 17, 2015 Wow, that is very innovative thinking. I like it. Quote
BassnChris Posted November 22, 2015 Author Posted November 22, 2015 That is pretty wild. Do you catch any pc flac. Nope......one guy said " I don't believe in guns. Can you take donations?" He then gave my son $2.00.....I thought that was a kind gesture. But afterwards my son asked me " he doesn't believe in guns?" I had to explain that the man did not actually believe that guns didn't exist.....just that he didn't like them. Quote
