"We don't believe this is a gun issue, this is a terrorism issue and this is an act against American citizens," says Bert Irslinger, Jr., owner of Second Amendment Sports, a gun shop in McHenry, Illinois. Irslinger said he is going to donate $2,000 in addition to the raffle sales for an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle raffle to the OneOrlando Fund.
