Several thoughts:

I will not be surprised when no prosecution of Rev. Lucas occurs, since he is an anti-gun type. This will indicate the commitment to the law that our legislature, police and district attorneys actually have, and to whom the law applies and to whom it does not.

I am amazed Rev. Lucas' parishioners would give him discretionary use of $3000, and he would use it for a 50/50 chance to destroy 1 weapon when he could have bought 2 weapons for the same money and destroyed them both. Of course, this would have simply supported the weapon manufacturer, not the softball team. Either way, the logic (or lack thereof) is fascinating.

I am thrilled that Rev. Lucas supported the softball team, and look forward to them doing the raffle again next year using the same kind of prize. Perhaps they could do a second raffle for Rev. Lucas with the prize being NO AR-15.

This story wins my "Ironic Story of the Year" by far. You just can't even make this stuff up.
