Is it responsible to RAFFLE a gun?

Who are you speaking for here?

I’m pretty sure he said “the American South”, so that is for whom he is speaking.
I’d echo his statements for the American West, so much that I still don’t fully understand your problem with this. I’ve read the posts and the only thing I get is “guns are bad, m’kay?”. You may not feel that way, but nothing else is coming through here.

I think the existence of these raffles in general signifies and helps perpetuate a disturbing attitude about gun ownership in this country.
Yes, I live in a state without a strong “gun culture,” and this probably affects my views. But still. Owning a gun is something that people should approach with thought and trepidation.

“Trepidation” forsooth. It’s about gun ownership, not about the raffle.

Maybe gun ownership is okay as long as you’re ashamed of yourself.

Being casual enough about it to use a raffle? Uh-oh, that’s sin city!
