RE: NC youth football league offers a rifle as raffle prize: Gets near immediate international backlash
To me, that is pretty cool. I wouldn't mind my children getting into a sports competition to win a gun, that would be sweet!
well therein lies the problem. A lot of people seem to think that they are giving away a gun to a child and that is not the case at all. People under 18 are allowed to buy rifle tickets but just like they wouldn't give a car to a 12 year old, they won't give the gun either. The raffle winner needs to legally qualify to own the gun as well and children do not qualify. I'm sure there are tons of people out there that think that it is a competition among kids and the winner gets a rifle. nope.
