I think anything that makes a deadly firearm appear more like a toy or a fashion accesory is not a good thing. I don’t care about sales, I care about people’s personal safety. And treating any deadly weapon with respect and not decorating it like a damn party favor or handbag.

No sale! I’m a woman and “Hello Kitty” does not give me that equalized feeling. No sale on the Barbie pink one either. Nothing that says “there’s gotta be a My Little Pony around here.”
I want something that says there’s gotta be One Hell Of A Marine around here.

"Honey, does this gun make my butt look big?"

Somehow, I don't think that one would be answered 'yes'.

'It is not fashion, it is not style, it is ... glorifying guns and making them seem acceptable.

Well, they are acceptable, so go take a long walk off a short pier.

I bought a hand gun 2 years ago. Yes, the pink revolvers are very cute and stylish...but...I ruled against buying one.

The dark color of the solid back revolver is far less noticeable. The last thing I wanted to do was draw attention to the defensive weapon that might save my life. This is especially true at night and dark places.

I’m all for increasing gun sales, but this cheapens them.

Guns are for grown ups.

A gun is supposed to be a deterrent first and deadly force should always be the last resort. My fear, is that a woman’s going to pull her ‘lil pink gun out of her purse and some attacker, instead of stopping and/or being frightened off, is going to think she’s pulling a toy gun on him and continue to attack.

The more people that own them, especially women,
the less support there will be for,
or more accurately, the more resistance there will be to

gun control.
