The raffle is now closed.
In the 25 years I have been working with GRNC this has been the most productive raffle we have ever done. Thanks to your generosity we have been able to reach more citizens than in any previous election. Every penny donated has gone into the fight to protect the right to keep and bear arms.
The drawing will take place November 3rd and winners will be notified starting on the 4th.
The GRNC-PVF ‘Michael Bloomberg Special’
You killed his presidential bid, but he just won’t go away. Billionaire megalomaniac Michael Bloomberg might not be president any time soon, but he isn’t done trying to dictate which legislators should claim to represent you. In fact, his plan is to do to North Carolina what he did to Virginia.
Bloomberg spending $60 million to turn NC ‘blue’
$60 million. That’s how much Bloomberg plans to spend in order to turn “purple” states like North Carolina “blue,” giving control to anti-gun Democrats. His Astroturf gun ban organization, “Everytown for Gun Safety” has already started a $5 million campaign right here in your state.
Worse, he has figured out that he gets more bang for the million if he spends them on “down ballot” races such as state house and state senate races, meaning even if Donald Trump and Republicans win Congress and the White House, you could still be saddled with Cooper for governor and an anti-gun majority in the state legislature.
If Democrats control the state, you will not only endure a gun control agenda that will include semi-auto bans, “red flag” gun confiscation, universal gun registration and more of the gun ban wish list. But you will have to endure it for 10 YEARS. Why? Because 2020 is a redistricting year. If Democrats get to draw themselves districts, they will have a lock on power for ten years or more, possibly perpetually.
GRNC-PVF will fight Bloomberg
Like David against Goliath, GRNC’s political action committee, the GRNC Political Victory Fund, will fight Bloomberg. But we need your help: GRNC is restricted from using membership money to impact elections. That is why we created our federal PAC, GRNC-PVF.
Rather than throwing money at politicians, GRNC-PVF does “independent expenditures”:
- Tens of thousands of mailings;
- Thousands of dollars in radio advertising;
- Tens of thousands of automated phone alerts;
- Thousands of dollars in social media advertising; and
- Millions of election alert emails.
All of this is intended to elect candidates to all offices around the state who will support your right to keep and bear arms.
GRNC-PVF ‘politically incorrect’ raffle
In election years, GRNC-PVF holds “politically incorrect raffles” in which we raffle off firearms, typically AR-15 variants, to raise money for our election effort. This year, thanks to Hyatt Guns in Charlotte (www.hyattguns.com), we are raffling a top notch Rock River Arms, “LAR-15 Rrage 3G” rifle, in 5.56mm with forged lower receiver, Chrome Moly 16” 1:9 barrel, single stage trigger, and 15 Inch RRAGE 3G Free Float Rail M-LOK® Compatible handguard. A lightweight carbine in the modern style, it weighs only 6.5 lbs.
Update: NC Ordinance (https://gungrip.com/) has generously offered 3 additional prizes (for places 2-4): $100 gift certificates to for top end gun grips for the gun of their choice. We would like to thank Bill Harvey owner of N.C. ORDNANCE Inc. for the additional prizes.
In addition to that, GRNC challenge coins will be offered to anyone who contributes an aggregate of $125 or more between 7/22 and election day (11/3)
Buy lots of tickets, please. Not only can you win a choice AR-15, you will help elect pro-gun candidates and, best of all, stick a thumb in the eye of Michael Bloomberg! Please forward this message to friends and family!
Drawing will be held on Election Day, November 3, 2020.
Why GRNC-PVF is critically important
GRNC is restricted by law from using organizational funds to oust anti-gun politicians. Instead, direct election action is accomplished by our federal political action committee, the GRNC Political Victory Fund, which makes candidate recommendations and conducts “independent expenditures” for or against candidates via radio spots, mailings and automated phone calls.
Buying raffle tickets means that in addition to getting a chance at an attractively configured Rock River Arms, “LAR-15 Rrage 3G” rifle, you will help GRNC-PVF keep anti-gunners from occupying offices critical to gun rights.
Moreover, tickets are cheap: $10 ea, 3/$25, 7/$50 or 15/$100.
Conditions and disclaimers:
This will be an e-raffle like we have done in the past. Your ticket number(s) will be sent to you by email, typically within 48 hours.
Drawing will be held on Election Day, November 3, 2020. Winning ticket will be selected by use of a random number generator. The winner will be notified by email or phone (if provided). Winner will have ten days to respond or forfeit prize. Out of state residents need to check local laws and regulations. A NC FFL cannot ship to any place a firearm is not legal.
This raffle will be conducted pursuant to North Carolina law, as determined by a licensed attorney at the time of the raffle based on available guidance (whether advisory letter or Advisory Opinion) from the Office of the Attorney General of North Carolina. Furthermore, only the legality of possession and transfer of the firearm are considered. GRNC makes no representation of the legality of any act(s) by the winner, and takes no responsibility for such acts. As with any GRNC raffle of any firearm, the transfer shall be in accordance with NC and federal law, and occur via a Federal Firearms Licensee (FFL), who shall independently verify the winner's eligibility to receive the firearm. If a winner is legally prohibited from taking possession of the firearm, his or her prize is forfeit and an alternate winner shall be drawn. All costs of the transfer (taxes, transfer fees, shipping, etc.) are the responsibility of the winner.
Officers, Board of Directors of Grass Roots North Carolina, the GRNC Political Victory Fund and Rights Watch International (and their immediate family members) are not eligible to win.
