Guns: The ‘Great Equalizer’ for Women

To target urban and suburban women, gunmakers have adopted a two-pronged marketing strategy. One: Feminizing the weapons by dressing them up in hot pink. Two: Marketing powerful guns to women as the only surefire protection against sexual and violent predators. Shooting Industry Magazine publishes a column called “Arms and the Woman,” which advises that “every gun store should have at least one pink gun on display.” This is a crowded field: Sig Sauer offers a ladies’ version of its conceal-carry “Mosquito” pistol with a “pink-coated polymer frame” that it calls “the ideal choice for hours of shooting fun.” In a similar vein, GunGoddess.com sells a kit to trick out an assault weapon with a pink hand guard, pistol grip and butt stock — transforming an AR-15 into something that looks like it belongs at a Hello Kitty convention.

You gotta love women who understand the concept of self reliance and freedom. Ms. Giles is the daughter of Doug Giles who often writes for Townhall.com. His other daughter attained fame/noteriety during the ACORN scandal/revelations. (Not that it did much good.) You go girls.

You gotta love American Women.

Yep. Nothing says security like a 30 round magazine which is what comes with my Keltec PMR30.

I am a woman, but I do not buy much of anything pink, especially considering all of the Susan B. Komen pink junk in our faces.

I wish they would quit with the pink junk. Now, other colors for girls, I can go with. How about red....

[I want the USA back]

I love it when a woman sends a would-be rapist to the hell that he so richly deserves.

Just got Momma Walther P22 with pink grips. My screw up because she wanted the pink camo design and I ordered just the straight pink. She still loves to shoot that little rascal anyway. Although with the scarcity and cost of .22lr she doesn’t get to shoot as much as she’d like.

I’m with ya there girlfriend. Loved to indulge in pink stuff, until the color was taken over by that crowd. A red semi auto...no wait...revolver would be soooo cool.

Do yourself a favor on that Walther, glue in the front sight with some super glue. Darn thing pops off drawing it from the holster. If you loose it, the distributer will mail you one free of charge, but some superglue will save the hassle.

Miss that old walther, should never have taken it on the lake in my cannoe...

Yeah, that was a real suggestion. I still think a 9mm to the chest would work better.
