While the Federal Election Commission meets today to sign off on a request from Rep. Gabrielle Giffords to use campaign money for security upgrades, there is a report that Republicans in her Arizona district are raffling off the same brand of gun that wounded the Democrat.

The Pima County Republican Party is asking for $10 per ticket for a chance to win a Glock 23, according to the Huffington Post.

The Glock 23 is a version of the Glock 19, which was used in the Jan. 8 shooting rampage that left six people dead and wounded 13 others. Giffords, who was shot in the head, was meeting with constituents at a Tucson grocery store.

5. "The Glock 23 is a version of the Glock 19,..."

No, it's not. The Glock 23 is a Glock 23. It is not a Glock 19.

The anti-gun nuts are twisting themselves into hysterical pretzels on this one.

7. Is this an advertisement for a GOP fundraiser?

:sarcasm:
It's a legal product. I don't see the problem here. I haven't seen where she has objected to this raffle.
