Ron Paul Is Giving Away An AR-15 Rifle To One Lucky Supporter

CATHERINE THOMPSON – JUNE 17, 2014, 1:08 PM EDT

Former Rep. Ron Paul (R-TX) sent an email to supporters Tuesday that advertised a drawing to give away a free AR-15 rifle.

The two-time presidential candidate's political organization, Campaign for Liberty, is giving away a "brand new Colt LE6920MP-B AR-15 equipped with a red dot sight" in honor of the Second Amendment. The giveaway also boasts that the firearm will come with Magpul stock, pistol grip, handguard, vertical grip and back-up sight.

Prospective contestants have until 5 p.m. ET on July 3 to enter the drawing at Campaign for Liberty's website.

That is the face of gun culture who value their codpieces over the lives of normal people.

A DU "Look What I Won" OP would be quite a coup, and an eternal embarrassment for Paul and this nonsense.

Then we could have a contest for "Most Creative Idea for Repurposing an AR-15"!
