Wisconsin Crybullies Fail to Disrupt Charity Gun Raffle

Even in extremely liberal Madison, Wisconsin, there is a core of Second Amendment supporters. Friends of the NRA is not a political group. The events are meant to raise money for things such as shooting ranges and teaching firearms safety. They are not allowed to endorse political candidates. It is clear that Friends of the NRA are Second Amendment supporters.  The Friends of the NRA in Madison, Wisconsin, held their 26th annual fundraising event on 11 April 2018. The event has been non-controversial for 25 years. This year the event drew some crybullies who want to tell other people what they can and cannot do for charity.  From nbc15.com:

Protesters want a 308 Winchester semi-automatic rifle to be removed from the event scheduled to take place at Rex's Innkeeper on Wednesday. It is one of several guns and other non-weapon prizes in a raffle.

“That gun just doesn't belong in our community, in any community,” said Jodi Benz, a parent of two children in the Waunakee School District.

Benz said she plans to protest outside the event on Wednesday night.

“None of this protest is about anti-gun. It is about the ARs, the AKs, the big brother of it,”said Benz.

Benz said she still believes the gun is a danger to their community.

“It’s not wiping out the Second Amendment, [it’s] not taking people's guns away. It’s about safety and the safety of our children is number one,” Benz said.

The Madison Friends of the NRA refused to be bullied. They went forward with the

The crybullies failed to shut down the charity raffle.

The gun culture is learning to stand up to the bullies, in spite of the support the media gives them.

Well, I deplore the whole thing. I deplore that it's too late to purchase a ticket.

Some nice ordnance there (salivating)...

I know ... I had never seen a lever-action shotgun before. I need to get one for my wife now that her decreasing handgrip and forearm strength is giving her problems racking her pump shotgun.

Proud to have had the small-minded community of Madison, WI in the rearview mirror for nearly 23 years now. All I do is look back and laugh.

They stomped their little feet and whined in Moscow on the Madison.

Still didn’t stop the charity gun raffle.

Keep repeating this to yourself, Ms Benz. Maybe one day even you will believe this.

Back in the seventies the anti-Second Amenders were behind banning or limiting handguns and their slogan was "You can keep your long guns" Many locals passed laws banning handguns. Now they are going after long guns, "the ARs, the AKs, the big brother of it,”

Now, which guns CAN I have, Mz Benz?

Nothing scares the bejeebers out of liberals like a semi-automatic rifle.

Which, when used properly, is as harmless as a baby’s bottom.

Well since you value them so much more highly than you do
Free Republic, why don't you just rely on THEIR traffic?

Excerpting your material here after pledging allegiance there
seems rather like you consider Free Republic a secondary source
of income, and not worth posting the entire piece.

How much do you make by ripping off traffic from Free Republic?

Can't say any gun is "harmless"

A harmless gun is of no use.

A gun in the proper hands shouldn't scare anyone. Of course to liberals, anyone who is not a licensed government employee is "scary"

And a liberal is scared of a child with a pop tart that resembles a gun so I don't consider libs worthy of comment on who possesses guns.
