[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 174391, member: 1963"] Actually, the AR-15 is a popular "varmint gun" in some areas. It is used for small game hunting. The big problem is that it is very easy for either a "black market gunsmith" to rework the rifle for full automatic fire, which turns it back into a military issue M-16. It's illegal, but I guarantee you that even in my small town I could have one reworked, and kits are readily available via mail order and the internet. I agree that it's ridiculous to raffle off any kind of gun at a youth group, but it does happen. We see guns raffled off up here by various charities but in general you have to be an adult to participate (and show a valid FOI card to take delivery) What strikes me as a bit weird, given that (assuming this is a Christian church) it's a religion that preaches peace and brotherly love would give away weapons.. Not a slam at Christians though I am not one and I am pro-gun ownership, but it just strikes me as a bit strange. [/QUOTE]
