A West Virginia hospital plans to raffle off a set of firearms later this month in an effort to raise funds to construct a new hospital facility.
Preston Memorial Hospital in Kingswood, W.V. advertises a “community BBQ and firearm fundraiser” on its website at a cost of $20 per ticket. All proceeds go to benefit the “PMH Foundation Building for a Healthy Future Capital Campaign,” the ad reads.
The ad features a matched set of Ruger firearms with .357 and .44 Magnum cartridges and stipulates that only those 21 and over may purchase tickets. The fundraiser is slated for June 27.

Just making sure that future business is brisk.
The second prize is a test tube full of MRSA and Clostridrium difficile cultures.
Let me guess. That “new hospital facility” is going to be an emergency room, right? Perhaps one that specializes in pediatric cases?
The mind boggles.
Guns are a horrible choice for self-defense. You are 50x more likely to die of gunfire if you own a gun, than if not.
That is because, I believe, guns make people fucking stupid
Cool. Perpetual motion.
