Glock n' Spiel

I'm not upset. But no, it wouldn't have struck me as an issue at all. It's Arizona.

You're skirting the issue. Intentiona­lly so.

The Tucson shooter used a gun to shoot people. He shot people. He did it using a Glock.

Guns are fine. Raffling guns is fine. Glocks are popular guns. It makes sense to raffle popular things.

But for Republican­s in Tucson to raffle off a Glock less than nine months after a Democrat Congresswo­man was shot (and six others killed) with a Glock in Tucson is, at best, tacky.



And the Pima County Republican Party knew it.



Here's a quote from James Kelley, Republican chairman in AZ Legislativ­e District 29:



"Let's make this perfectly clear: I advised against this raffle from day one," said Kelley, who also is on the Pima County GOP's executive committee.

"I said, 'This is insensitiv­e and stupid and a no-brainer­. Do not advertise this.' The chairman and our executive director did the wrong thing. They said, 'Well, we've done it before.' Yes, but not since January 8, and we shouldn't be doing it now."
