Okay let's review:
1 It's America. Some core principles are The Right to Bear Arms and Capitalism. (Let's throw in the right to simply opt out without forcing your beliefs on others.)
2 The kids need support from somewhere.
3 It's PA. What does the community support? Kids, Football, Hunting
4 Solution of some hard working volunteers: Raffle guns to provide the experience of a lifetime to a hunter who could win or be gifted a gun, money, or atv. Give the experience of footbal to the kids.
5 The kids aren't carry samples are they?
If someone doesn't like the solution, they can give cash OR volunteer and get the kids some other type of support.
If someone doesn't like the fees, they can wait for free programs like those through the schools OR volunteer and get the kids some other type of support.
I would bet the responses here will overwhelming support the kids, football, hunters, community and the volunteers. Those are some common beliefs around here.
