Hey, middle aged and older women like guns, too. How about an add showing a gray haired lady taking out a thug?

I'm an HnK handgun bigot. All my handguns without exception, are HnK.

That said, this is a STUPID position by HnK!

Want me to buy a weapon? Have a hot as hell babe shooting it in an ad. I'm first to run out and buy it!

Those DUMMIES don't know marketing!

Because it’s demeaning to women and stupid to insult potential female customers.

Well, there's that.

Question: who buys more guns 'n ammo: men or women?

MEN.

Hot babes shooting guns in ads sell guns.

Put some ugly fat chick shooting a gun in an ad and they'll sell exactly ZERO.

As an actual woman typing this, I’ll use more words for you to comprehend: using bunnies to sell products is trash marketing.

The sentence above was written by some woman who works for H&K marketing. I don't think I'm going out on a limb to say she's white and liberal - marketing jobs are marketing jobs, and white liberal women can ruin anything.

Trick question! Men like ads with anyone taking out a thug in them!

All our institutions, public and private, are Anhauser Bush fodder. Shut em all down. Leave their entrails on the lamp posts.

HKs market is government storm troopers. This tweet will give them a few more points on their next bid to supply guns to various woke enforcement agencies around the world.

You mean those rugged handsome men they use in many gun ads aren’t enough for the ladies? LOL

The ad with a gray haired lady taking out a thug would get my attention.

My large, gruff, cigar smoking uncle would let me look at the girlie calendars tacked up in his garage — great way by the sponsors to sell tools, lube oil, & brake fluid to real men. When I was eight, he took me to the neighborhood tavern and gave me my first short beer.

“The good ol’ days.”

WHo exactly is being victimized by ads with hot women? Hot women generally are very richly compensated.

Next gun ads will show the HnK barrel drooping over, kind of melted looking.

Which is how men should be.

The complaining women are showing too much skin, frankly. Burquas for all of them are in order. Nothing says “Respect women” like a burqa.

The team they are trying to impress will still hate them.

The female answer to the 1964 Roger Miller country hit “Dang Me.”

“My daddy was a pistol, I’m a son of a gun.”
