    A charity dinner to raise money for a high school football team has been cancelled after backlash over raffle prizes that included an AR-15 rifle — the same gun used to kill 17 people at a Florida high school last week.https://usat.ly/2ENVKAi

        I'm all for raising money for charity but raffling off any gun is ludicrous, especially for a school, someone wasn't thinking ahead

        Your an idiot, and I happen to have a gun but I'm not stupid enough to raffle one off for a school, too many babies have lost their lives at school due to guns. If they want to raise money sell a car, have an auction, but raffling off a gun would never make my list, my opinion!

        Why would a school related raffle even have that gun involved?? Even before The Florida shooting? What the hell is wrong with people??

        What high school has a charity dinner that raffles of any type of gun? How did this get this far? It took a school shooting to make u think this might be a bad idea?

        Even if the Florida school shooting had not happened, this would still be a strong sign that the US is messed up

        Stop trying to give away that gun. Please stop this madness. Please ban this type of gun. It’s dangerous.

        No event that represents children, should in any way associate itself with any firearms.
