UPDATE: This fundraiser did NOT have prior approval by Clear Lake Intermediate. It has been shut down. I am sure they can find more appropriate donations that would bring in a good amount of money.
At least it’s not an AR15.
Yesterday a number of parents of children killed in school shootings testified against bad bills concerning gun safety. Also there was a school shooting in Dallas. Luckily, as of now, no one was killed but 4 were injured. Instead of offering an apology for flooding our state with guns Greg Abbott offered useless prayers and hollow promises to the families. From CBS News:
Cecilia and I ask our fellow Texans to join us in praying for the victims’ swift recovery and for the entire Wilmer-Hutchins High School community.
Locally the Leadership Development Corps booster club at Clear Lake Intermediate is having a raffle for a gun and a gun club gift certificate. The gun isn’t an AR15 like the kind that was used for killing 19 children in Uvalde or a sawed off shotgun that was used in the Santa Fe shooting. (BTW the bill parents were speaking against would make sawed off shotguns legal.) This gun is a Canik METE 9mm handgun. Like a sawed off shotgun it is easy to conceal.
You have to wonder what these booster club members are thinking. I was in ROTC in High School. I was the Commander of a military drill team. Our booster club would have never considered raffling off a gun for money. My son was in LDC at CLIS. The parents would have never considered such a raffle. He was a flag bearer and continued that role in the Navy. (He even presented the flag at the NCAA Mens Final Four.) LDC is a great organization but these parents need to read the room.
