Attempting to fill the void left by KSL.com, which announced last week that it would temporarily suspend firearms sales in its classified listings, the Utah Gun Exchange celebrated the launch of its website with a free gun giveaway on Christmas, the Associated Press reported on Monday:
On Christmas Day, the Utah Gun Exchange group will be picking “one lucky winner” among 7,000 or so people who have “liked” its Facebook page and are 21 years or older. The winner, who must pass the requisite government background check, will receive a Sig P2022 9 mm handgun with a mounted laser.
KSL.com, a media group owned by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, made the decision to suspend gun sales in its classified listings as a response to the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, Conn.
