Florida High School Raffles Off Handguns And Rifles

The Tallahassee Democrat reports:

A Florida high school raffled off guns and other weaponry through a month-long fundraising campaign that ended Wednesday. James Madison Preparatory High School in Madison, a charter school, raffled off fishing and hunting gear and firearms, including handguns and semi-automatic rifles, in a $100-per-ticket raffle that started May 2.

In a video clip apparently from the raffle that was posted on Tuesday on the school’s Facebook page, two men spin a tumbler full of paper slips while lauding the prizes in the raffle. “Everyone needs a Remington 97,” says the man on the left in the video clip, as the man on the right, assistant principal Patrick White, pulls out names.

Every day, May 2-today, the school picked a name from a tumbler. Tuesday, a week after the shooting in Uvalde that killed 21 people, the school raffled an AK 47.@TDOnline https://t.co/EsMQ1TqPlt
