State Sen. Lee Bright (R-Spartanburg) has branded himself the pro-gun candidate in this year’s South Carolina Senate race, and is showing it in a bold way: by raffling off an AR-15 semi-automatic assault rifle.

Bright, who is competing along with three other Republicans to unseat Sen. Lindsey Graham in the primary, announced the raffle in an email on Thursday, touting it as a show of his support for the Second Amendment.

“I know the anti-gun media may hate it,” Bright says in the email. “I know the political talking heads may sneer as they continue blaming guns and law-abiding gun owners for the acts of thugs and madmen. But I am THE pro-gun, pro-Constitution candidate in this race for the U.S. Senate — and I can’t think of a better way to get that word out than by giving away a brand new AR-15.”





Not living up to his name, is he?
