Texas governor’s campaign website drops shotgun voucher giveaway after school shooting

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott’s re-election website has abandoned a contest to give away a $250 voucher toward a shotgun purchase days after the slaying of 10 people at Santa Fe High School.

Previously, participants in the giveaway entered with a chance to win a $250 certificate that could be redeemable for a “Texas-made shotgun” at a licensed gun dealer in Central Texas, per the campaign’s website.
Now the website doesn’t mention the gun. It only offers a $250 gift certificate. The giveaway was dropped from the website after CNN’s story published on Sunday.

Took long enough. Worse yet, this was one of the few mass shootings in which the perp actually used a shotgun.
