LAMPASAS - Hoping to raise enough money to fence in a portion of a school in this Hill Country town, a local group is holding a raffle featuring a deer rifle.

"We're moms using guns as tools to protect our kids," said Marta Ellison, a member of the Hanna Springs Intermediate School parent-teacher-student organization and part of the trio that put the raffle together. They're trying to raise nearly $15,000.

"Bake sales are a thing of the past," she said.

Lampasas school Superintendent Carlton Tucker said he's gotten only one comment about the propriety of using guns to raise money for a school project.

How quaint - bake sales are a thing of the past. So let's just give children the message that selling guns in school is a good thing. Why doesn't it surprise me to find out State Rep. Suzanna Gratia Hupp is involved in this.
