Still, overwhelmingly, many parents on social media expressed support for the raffle and said it was an example of people exercising their Second Amendment rights. “We did direct them to say you can’t have AHS on any type of raffle no matter what,” Bruhn said. Future raffles that may involve a firearm should still not feature school names in Brevard County, according to Bruhn. A Project Graduation organizer did not return a request for comment as of Monday afternoon.
