The Rolling Stone is good for only ONE thing



I will admit a bias to stupid pink guns. I know the argument of "If a pink gun is the only way to convince a woman to carry, it's a good thing". I don't agree with it. If pink is the only thing that attracts the woman, then how serious is she about training with it? Using it when needed? I will always see it as a gimmick and distraction, but that's just me.

But now, you ladies with your pink guns, rock on with your bad selves. Why?  Because now The Rolling Stone is calling it a means to "seduce the ladies" into buying horrible weapons of war. You know what? FUCK YOU ROLLING STONE. I may have to buy a fucking hot pink pistol now. Fuck.

"When it's not making guns cuter for women, the industry is preying on their fears. Laura Browder, author of Her Best Shot: Women and Guns in America, has described the archetypal gun ad: "The police are nowhere to be found; it is up to a woman alone to ward off the sexually threatening 'predators' of the city." Only with a gun, the industry tells women, can they defend themselves "against anonymous violence, a task that the government is clearly not up to." Gunmaker FN Herstal designed its Five-seveN pistol to fire rounds that can pierce body armor on the battlefield. Back in 2000, a leading gun magazine deemed it "obvious" that "neither the gun nor the ammunition will ever be sold to civilians." Today, it's marketed as a "Ladies' Home Companion." "
