A U.S. Congressman & Candidate for Senate Is Giving Away Something He Says ‘Obama Would Like Nothing More Than to Ban’

In what I view as a cleverly disguised ploy to built a mailing list (and buy extension donor list) -- Do you think raffling off a gun is an ingenious way to build up your contact data or is it crossing the line of what politicians can or should be able to do to attract and obtain voter's attention, information, and most importantly money?



What say you?
 
Definitely a ploy to build a mailing list, and not cleverly disguised at all.
 
An idiotic stunt based upon a false premise is genius,now, is it?

I guess the bar is being set a whole lot lower than it used to be.

Really clever. It'll work real good. The gun nuts are loyal and he is getting their mailing address for future schemes. Turtle dude has probably already signed up.

It isn't like guns haven't been raffled off or given away in the past.

So it is neither.
