Baptist church of Windsor Hill, Oklahoma City is distributing semi
automatic rifles for free to lure young people to attend Sunday
ceremonies. Praise the lord! Jesus Saves! In which school we will
witness next mass murder? Somewhere in Oklahoma?

One rifle, not "rifles", and it was a prize in a shooting competition.

And using only one assault rifle instead of more than one to attract
youths to a religious conference makes it acceptable? It sounds bizarre to
me, though not surprising for Baptists.

Is there anything about Baptists that suprises you?

Note: I am not now nor have I ever been a Baptist.

Clear discrimination against middle aged and old people. Is it legal in
Oklahoma to blatantly discriminate on the basis of age?

Why not? And, why's this in a travel newsgroup anyway?

what is your problem with a shooting contest? what does god have to
do with this? man has always used weapons to conquer their prey,
before modern times humans used weapons of all kinds to kill their
prey. shooting is a sport like any other sport. should we abhor
auto
racing because someone could use a car as a weapon to kill someone?
these senseless attacks of shooting a rifle as a sport is just a
product of ignorance

Perhaps you should take your own advice.

So, if they were giving away a baseball bat as a prize in a baseball
game would you have the same objection?

The shooting took place at a Baptist church in Knoxville, Tennessee - not in
Oklahoma. Dozens of people killed or wounded.
