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

I was being sarcastic.

Of course, guns kill. In the right hands, guns save us from the bad guys.

But the point is wasted on the crybullies in Madison.

When I grow up, I want a GAU-19 under my christmas tree!

With lotsa ammo and a case of beer for a very long weekend wouldn't be rejected!

Promise Santa, I've been a good boy!

(Well, mostly!)

My agreement with Ammoland.

So your agreement causes you to post the entire piece there but only an excerpt here.

Giving them the web traffic and using US as a mule. Using Free Republic
as a free advertising tool to enrich yourself and another site.

That seems pretty scummy.

You don't get to decide what it's about, honey.

I was born in Madison & raised in Middleton.

All of my family & siblings have had guns since before I was born & I am 78.

NONE of our guns have EVER caused anyone harm.

I am tired of the sissies leading the parade.

The AUTOMATIC question after that should be to ask her/him/it where they stand on Government Sponsored Abortion.

THEN, bring up the ‘children’ again.

If nothing else it will take them off their scripted response and fluster them...

In 1974, I had had more than enough of those Commie Pukes who were destroying my home town and moved to Texas. I have never regretted my decision one little bit.
