GOP in Giffords’ district holds raffle for Glock

[Earth_First]

Republican Party in Arizona's Pima County, which is represented by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), is in the midst of a fundraising raffle, $10 per entry.

The prize: the same model of gun that delivered a near-fatal blast to the Democratic lawmaker's skull outside a Tucson grocery store in January. Tucson is in Pima County.

The local party sent out its e-newsletter late last week advertising the raffle. On the third page of the seven-page document, a large illustration of the gun appears with the headline "Help Pima GOP get out the vote and maybe help yourself to a new Glock .40"

think it sends a terrible message," she told Raw Story. "I think it's an incredible lack of sensitivity toward Gabrielle Giffords and all the victims and families of the victims in Tucson. This was an unprecedented tragedy for Tucson and for our nation, and we are just stunned that this group of people would think that this was appropriate and something that was worthy of doing. There's so many items that could be raffled off to raise money."
