Hilliard football club says AR-15 raffle has happened before without any issues

The spokesperson for the Pride of Hilliard Football Club explained that the nonprofit is separate from Hilliard Middle-Senior High School and its only affiliation is to provide meals, equipment and other needs for the football teams that the district does not provide. The three teams include close to 100 players.

“We all know that raising money in today’s times is tough,” the spokesperson wrote in a statement. “At this point, our teams are lacking in important safety equipment such as helmets and pads. In the past, a gun raffle has been our biggest fundraiser, as it has for many non-profit organizations in southern states. In light of recent events, we took into careful consideration how to promote our fundraiser.

“We only have the best interest of our teams at heart,” the statement reads. “Hopefully any concerns about our raffle will be cleared up with an understanding that our community is full of responsible gun owners who submit to background checks regularly when purchasing firearms. We are working with a licensed dealer and federal guidelines are being followed throughout the entire process.”Copyright 2022 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.

People should use their common sense and read the fine print instead of believing hearsay.

Keep trying. The answer remains, nobody cares.

Umm.. 1 AR-15 isn't a pistol it's a rifle..

There should be no issue with! Whoever wins the Gun still has to go thru a ffl to complete the required background checks it is no different than buying it from a gun shop.

So... The winner gets a background check before they hand them the AR-15, eight?

'...hit by a bullet from an AR-15, a semiautomatic rifle that delivers a devastatingly lethal, high-velocity bullet to the victim. Nothing was left to repair—and utterly, devastatingly, nothing could be done to fix the problem. The injury was fatal...'

It’s Hilliard it’s obvious they spend more on guns than dental work. Not surprising. I’m not anti-gun just pointing out their priorities and why this isn’t surprising

Bu bu but…..don’t say gay and be sure to get rid of books cuz they hurts the kids. I prolife so hard that I raise funds with an assault rifle……

If you don’t like it. Don’t buy any

Cool

Can you guys share a link to purchase raffle tickets?

Done it before with no issues but woke News4Dems makes an issue of it and the kids sports will suffer.

Well that makes it ok.

Pretty sure it isn’t a pistol. Extra permits required. I am disappointed there wasn’t a link to donate.

Nobody cares.
