Church gives away AR-15 in raffle to celebrate Independence Day – WFXL FOX 31

Category: Second Amendment

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (WCYB) A Johnson City church gained quite a bit of attention after announcing it was giving away an AR-15 to celebrate Independence Day.

Todd Holmes, pastor of The River of Tri-Cities Church, said the giveaway was in honor of the U.S. Constitution and the Second Amendment.

Holmes believes the church is taking appropriate precautions by making sure the winner passes a background check.

"I know what our rights are as citizens of the United States and I know what are rights are as citizens of Heaven also, and I'm not an American nationalist or whatever people want to try to label me as," Holmes said. "I'm a Christian and I happen to own firearms and I like to be able to have them. I like them for hunting. I like them for self-defense and so that's the reason we are doing what we are doing."

The church has had several raffles in the past, giving away cars, boats, and tickets to NASCAR events.
