The Bill of Rights takes a week to discuss and debate in high school. In university you might spend one semester on the topic in a History class.

US Universities are falling producing students with advanced science, engineering and mathematical skills at the post graduate level. Winning a raffle for an AK 47 will not get you into graduate school. Your target scores at the local gun club are not going to help you either.

I mentioned the Theory of Wing Sections", ISBN: 0486605868 by I. H. Abbott rhetorically.

I could have mentioned 100 examples of reference books that are more useful to a college student than and AK47 copy.

Correct me if I'm wrong but no-one is diverting education resources from text books to firearms auctions are they? Is the university themselves sponsoring this event instead of a class in avionic engineering or something?
