"...has anyone had a chance to ask the Upper Sandusky school board about the intelligence of this raffle?” one local resident commented...
...Some local residents were angry at the “idiotic” decision...
“Nothing says ‘I support track’ like a shiny new murder gun,” Nick Barnes, an Upper Sandusky resident who runs a food truck, wrote on Facebook...
While some commenters on Barnes’ post tried to defend AR-15s for personal use, many local residents were outraged at the raffle.
“Our society is so diseased,” one Upper Sandusky resident wrote...
I'm sure this is very unbiased reporting from Vice, and no one had neutral or positive things to say about the raffle. Everyone is against this but, guns, America, capitalism, white supremacy, etc., all don't give a damn, and are forcing this on them.
But apart from the anger online, there was really “no pushback at all from the general public,” Barnes told VICE News. “For most people around here, the optics and the real-life consequences are simply beyond their scope of reckoning...
Or maybe most people disagree with you, and realize guns are just tools; inanimate objects. Maybe they're not stupid, maybe the threat posed isn't just 'beyond their scope of reckoning'...maybe they just don't agree with you. Maybe they don't share your retarded opinions.
The latest raffle was announced earlier this month in a Facebook post by Tim Pohlman, a coach for the Upper Sandusky Rams Track and Field team.
“The Track moms have put together a gun raffle to raise money for the team this year. The profits will go towards getting needed equipment for the program,” Pohlman wrote. “Let myself or a member on our team know if you want to get in on the fun and support our Upper Sandusky Track team.”
So it's actually organized by the parents who have children in the school, and on the team. Heh.
In Ohio this week, gun control advocates criticized Gov. Bob DeWine for his plan to spend $388 million to place a police officer in every public and private school in an effort to prevent school shootings. Last year, DeWine signed a law allowing teachers to carry weapons in classrooms with only 20 hours of training.
20 hours is plenty of training to cover the basics, like not accidentally shooting someone (well, unless you're Alec Baldwin.) Statistically, these teachers will never need to use their guns, so as long as they can carry them without increasing chance of harm, they'll at least have a fighting chance if they do need to use it to protect kids. They should still absolutely go train up in their free time, but twenty hours is plenty to start.
