I might just pass on this one. I'll be rooting for you to win.
What a great idea LW. Congratulations!

I can't imagine jewelry from gun steel being that much fun for prolonged skin contact. Blecch! Wedding rings are gold for a reason. The fanny paddle, on the other hand, is something I could definitely get behind.

This campaign has probably generated enough buzz that member's of the esteemed asshole's staff will just plant a winning entry from some local humper so as to avoid the humiliation that'd come from the gun going to a non RWNJ.

I have to wonder how hard it would be to have it shipped to locations outside Iowa--or if it would be legal. If so, there are also organizations that turn guns into sculptures.

@5(DaniellinDC) One can ship across state lines using licensed gun dealers as brokers-- this Federal Firearms License can be acquired for about $150, too, if you wanted to keep it in the family. I enjoyed the gun-sculptures I was able to find, thanks for that (almost wrote”gun-cum-sculptures”. Saved a few people from a spit take, there.). I bet we could go beyond rings and paddles-- here's the place to cumball! I mean spitball!

@4(Teckel) I think people are directing faggy hoplophobia towards people in power who have been cruel to us and ours, who are using a raffle to farm email addresses. I didn't know the word “hoplophobia”. It's a good one! I've heard “faggy” before, though. So that post zeroed out.

@2(saxfanatic) We could laminate the inner surface of the rings with brass from the other bits...? Though a section of a long barrel could give a paddle some serious leverage....

@ 4 You're just the sort of person who obviously has no clue about guns, possibly isn't very bright in general, and shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a firearm. "single shot hunting rifle. It holds prob 3-4 shells."?! Were you intoxicated when you wrote that? Furthermore, the picture shows (and the caption mentions) a Henry lever-action rifle, which has a tubular magazine under the barrel.

I tried, but it won't let me enter without a contribution of at least $5! Illegal, no?

OMG, what a fabulous idea! I vote to send a butt plug to each of the signers as a token of, hmm, esteem?
#2 Saxfanatic - I see what you did, behind there.

"The honorable douche-nozzle", eh? Maybe we should make enema nozzle tips out of the gun, as well...
