Ron Paul on Thursday gave away an AR-15 rifle to a supporter he chose from a free drawing.

Paul announced July’s raffle in June, and has been giving away one free gun to a supporter each month since April in his “Campaign for Liberty,” according to the email he sent out on Thursday.

In August, Paul will give away a .308 Winchester to another supporter, he announced Thursday.
