    European here. Could some kind spirit explain? Did that guy get a gun gifted for visiting church? Or did he visit church with a gun and it got somehow automagically blessed cos it was there with him? Sry, scratching my head over these rituals.

      It was some sort of Father’s Day contest or raffle and the winner got an AR-15. This isn’t even all that unusual.

      If you search for AR-15 church, you’ll see a bunch of stories.

      America is a very fucked-up place.

        In some real rural areas, you’ll have Sherrifs going up for election throwing raffles to buy votes, newer ideas are guns, but most of the time it’ll be meat (like a quarter of a cow, or maybe a full half if they have $ to throw around)

        Yeah, I’ve taken to replacing ‘United States’ with ‘American Dystopia’ in my vocabulary. At this point I wouldn’t be surprised if Brave New World would offer a more pleasant life.
