Though the letter looks legitimate, I didn't see any mention of Giffords in the message. Regardless if it is or isn't the kind of gun that was used to attack Giffords, it seems like that section of the newsletter is in keeping with the rest of the letter and the rest of the GOP mindset. I did find two things unusual about it.

1 -- They're only selling 125 tickets at 10 dollars a ticket. Why? I reckon the gun costs several hundred dollars, why limit the ticket sales?

2 -- I have some questions about the legality of offering a gun as a prize in a raffle like this. Really? I thought the transfer of guns was regulated more strictly. It seems there must be more to this aspect of the story.
