Church cancels gun giveaway for teens - An AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle


OKLAHOMA CITY, OKlahoma - After one of its organizers suffered an injury, a church was forced to cancel a gun giveaway at a weekend youth event.

"I don't want people thinking: 'My goodness, we're putting a weapon in the hand of somebody that doesn't respect it who are then going to go out and kill,'" said Bob Ross, the youth pastor at Windsor Hills. "That's not at all what we're trying to do." More... Discount Magazine Subscriptions - Discount Cigarettes & Tobacco - Nutty News Marketplace - International Wine Accessories
