		<description>Chanda, this one&#039;s pink specifically to honor the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pinkribbonshop.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Pink Ribbon&lt;/a&gt; color theme of breast cancer charities. 

But &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.duracoat-firearm-finishes.com/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Duracoat&lt;/a&gt; is wonderful stuff, and they make a nice, cheery &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.houtsenterprises.net/dur_electric.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Sunburst Yellow&lt;/a&gt;. Or how about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.houtsenterprises.net/dur_bloomberg.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Staten Island Orange&lt;/a&gt;, from the Bloomberg collection, named in honor of NYC&#039;s gun-grabbing mayor.

If you don&#039;t care for the camo, how about plain &lt;a href=&quot;http://olegvolk.livejournal.com/350652.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Barbie Pink&lt;/a&gt;? Or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/17/hello-kitty-ar-15-assault-rifle-makes-you-wish-it-was-photoshopp&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Hello Kitty&lt;/a&gt;? Or the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.glamguns.com/mylittleponycarbine.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;My Little Carbine from Glambo&lt;/a&gt;? (That last is more purple than pink, though.) 

One of the undercurrents here is that gun-grabbers have actually objected to pink guns exactly because girls and women might be tempted by them, and god knows, we can&#039;t be having them all empowered and self-defending and stuff now, can we? 

See how that works? Black guns are bad because men will use them as penis extenders. Pink guns are bad because women will like them. There is no winning with this crowd.

And, thanks, by the way, for showing that an aversion to pink is not purely a male tendency. 

&quot;Goblin [yes, that&#039;s we call them, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theothersideofkim.com/index.php/tos/single/7200/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;thank you Kim&lt;/a&gt;] shot by pink gun.&quot; Oh, that&#039;s priceless.</description>

		<description>If I WERE to have a gun that would be the LAST gun I&#039;d ever touch.  I HATE pink.  Does it come in a happy shade of yellow?  :)

Oh and the faux camo has to go too.  Polka dots would be pleasant.  Or smiley faces.  I&#039;d still give $ to breast cancer research though.

Can&#039;t you just imagine the shame of blasting a hole is some (what do you call them?)  goblin? and then sending him off to jail with a big splash across the front page &quot;Goblin shot with PINK gun while breaking and entering.&quot;  Oh man, that would be punishment enough perhaps.</description>
