FALLON/AFP via Getty Images) A Sioux City, Iowa, indoor football team has canceled plans to give away an AR-15 at one of its games after facing backlash in the wake of a series of mass shootings across the U.S.The Sioux City Bandits, part of the Champions Indoor Football league, announced the rifle promotion in a Facebook post that has since been removed.

The team’s owner initially refused calls for the giveaway to be canceled, but he changed his mind later the same day after one of their sponsors threatened to sever ties, The Des Moines Register.He first told the paper that the team wouldn’t cancel because "some guys in New York City and some guys in Boston, Massachusetts, think it’s bad taste."The Bandits, part of a league called Champions Indoor Football, partnered with a local gun store owned by a military veteran as part of an annual Military Night at the arena.

Everyone who registered had to be at least 18 years old and pass a background check.RELATED: Calls grow for committees, reviews & new laws in wake of Texas school shootingThe giveaway was set to take place 11 days after an 18-year-old used an AR-15 to kill 19 students and two children at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas, and 21 days after an 18-year-old used an AR-15 to kill 10 Black people at a Buffalo, New York, grocery store.This week, a man in Tulsa, Oklahoma, used an AR-15 style rifle to shoot and kill four people at a hospital before turning the gun on himself.There have been 236 mass shootings in the U.S.

Canada faces ‘challenging’ NATO summit amid spending dip, NORAD questions: experts

NATO leaders summit amid new data suggesting a defence spending dip, and growing public confusion about where the cash is coming from for major promised NORAD upgrades, experts warn.New numbers from the military alliance suggest Canada is slipping behind on its pledge to hit a prominent spending target as the size of the economy grows in comparison to promised new spending.At the same time, there is growing frustration among the defence industry at the government’s handling of an announcement of $4.9 billion in upgrades to NORAD radar and surveillance systems.“If the idea was to instill confidence that this is all buttoned down, I think they’ve done about the opposite that,” said David Perry, vice-president of the Canadian Global Affairs Institute and a defence policy expert.“That basically is going to make the summit a little bit more challenging, especially in the middle of a fairly convoluted week and a bit, over what we are doing about continental defence and the budget.”Perry said the government has trying to emphasize that spending on defence is on the upswing.Now, he says the confusion is about whether the government is actually adding new defence spending, or “reshuffling things.”Ranked by percentage of GDP spending, Canada now sits 24th out of 29 members in the NATO alliance.
