You forgot to state that the winners have the option of taking the cash equivelent of the firearm instead of the firearm itself. It should also be noted that the firearms are not just handed to the winners. They pick them up at a licensed firearms dealer and are required to pass a PICS check just as if they bought the firearm themselves, prior to receiving the firearm.
With this in mind the kids are simply selling rafle tickets to support their sport. They are in no way selling firearms. Simply selling a chance to win, does not hurt anyone and as I stated there are checks and balances in place to prevent a firearm from getting into the hands of someone who should not have or is not allowed to possess a firearm.
Leave the league alone. Hoagies and sandwiches apparently don't cut it when it comes to fund raising. If the person complaining has a better idea, get more involved and help them find the money needed.
