Sport Youth baseball league raffling off AR-15, other guns
Don't vilify responsible gun owners. Celebrate them.
My first memory of holding a gun is burned into my brain. I remember very clearly what I was told: Always act as if a gun is loaded, even when you know it isn't. Never point it at anyone. Never point it toward yourself. Keep guns locked away and out of reach — never lying around your house or car. The lesson was clear: Gun caution wasn't restricted to the shooting range or in the forest. Merely touching a gun necessitated sobriety and expertise.

Youth organizations across the country are holding raffles for the military rifle, including ones in Kansas, Michigan, Pennsylvania, California and Nebraska.
A plan to have third-graders sell raffle tickets for the weapon in Missouri to benefit their baseball team has received heavy backlash. The organizer responded in a Facebook post saying they are not forcing any of the boys to sell the rifle.
Baseball league president David Spencer said families aren't required to sell raffle tickets. He said winners pick up their weapons at a gun store and are subject to background checks.
Spencer said the association expects to generate between $1,500 and $2,000.
