The type of military-style rifle used in former President Donald Trump's assassination attempt over the weekend — and numerous other mass shootings — is being given away as a raffle prize at the Republican National Convention.
Trump on Saturday was left with a bloodied ear after being grazed by a bullet fired from an AR-15 by shooter Thomas Crooks, authorities have said.
Days after the shooting in Butler, Pennsylvania, rally, which left two dead including the shooter, MAGA supporters in Milwaukee can enter a free giveaway at the convention to win their very own AR-15, Rolling Stone reported.
A Daniel Defense assault rifle is available at an outdoor space designated as “ConventionFest," the news outlet reported. A convention vendor called the U.S. Concealed Carry Association is sponsoring the giveaway.
The brand of AR-15 used at Trump's rally wasn't immediately known. Daniel Defense rifles were used in the Uvalde school shooting, and several were discovered in an arsenal belonging to the Las Vegas shooter, the news outlet noted.
AR-15-style rifles are one of the most popular guns in the nation and can fire multiple shots in quick succession. Its cousin is the M-16, which has been used by U.S. troops since Vietnam.
Some military assault rifles are fully automatic, bit civilians are banned from owning such weapons in most circumstances.
The rifles fire high-velocity bullets that travel at three times the speed of a handgun round. They're also highly accurate over long distances and leave devastating wounds to soft tissue and internal organs.
