The Komen Foundation will use its name to pink-wash any product, including handguns.

[kpete]

The Komen foundation has moved firmly into the business end, verging on scam. Their purpose is to raise money for its own sake at this point. How can we know that for sure? Take a look at the Walther “Hope” Edition 22.



It can be found at Discount Gun Sales http://www.discountgunsales.com/walther-p-22-hope-edition-34-pr-4228.html in Seattle, where a small (undisclosed by the way) portion of the sale goes to the Seattle branch of Komen.

That’s right gentle reader, the Komen Foundation will use its name to pink-wash any product, including handguns.

1. Guns don't kill pregnant women. Komen kills pregnant women. n/t

2. ...

3. I am surprised they haven't sued anyone who uses the color pink without paying them!

I am through with these pink sh*t stains.

22. Mary Kay has given pink Cadillacs since '69

If anyone "owns" the color pink ...

4. When Rachel and others predicted the end of Komen last night, I was skeptical.

What other insanity will surface?

More importantly, what organization will replace them?

5. The pink guns and pink KFC buckets did me in

btw -- I own that same Walther, but with stainless instead of pink, and it's a fun little plinking pistol.

[rfranklin]

6. Try the KFC buckets as targets...

Best of all worlds.

[obamanut2012]

7. You know, that is an excellent idea!

For real. It also made me lol.

[MineralMan]

8. They sell pink fishing tackle, too.

My wife saw that in one of my tackle catalogs. She said: "No way would I go on the lake with something like that. What are they thinking?"

[Justice wanted]

9. You know I'll be honest I never really thought much when I saw PInk products like the pink Yoplait.

lids BUT as I see all the products and think about how many years and all the money they collected I am really beginning to wonder IF I will trust a charity again.

[ehrnst]

10. Would not be surprised to see this turn up in the investigation of the next clinic shooting.

[Lizzie Poppet]

11. Sorry, but they're rank amateurs at pink guns.

16. Hello Kalyshnikov!

12. Pink pistols have saved many LGBT people from serious injury and death.

Why do some people get apoplectic over those who wish to defend themselves and their loved ones against thugs and criminals? Can you explain it?

[yardwork]

13. Do you have a link for that?

As a lesbian, I seem to have missed the memo that we're all armed to the teeth with pink (naturally) firearms with which we save ourselves from serious injury and death.

I am aware that many LGBTQ people own weapons. I support their right to do so. Your suggestion that we all own pink weapons is odd, to say the least. I'd like to see a citation for your post.

[Skwid]

27. No, I do not have or need a 'link', it's from my own personal experience. I just got back from

Indianapolis, 3 trips and I will do the same thing tomorrow night and Monday. My reference was really to the concept (and the organization) more than to literal pink pistols, I assumed readers here were familiar with them. I produced my sidearm one night while walking to my car with my boyfriend from a gay club in Tampa as 4 teenagers started to come at us waving clubs and baseball bats. They backed down, cut and ran instantly. I didn't WANT to shoot them but I will guarantee you I would have killed them all one at a time if they had continued to threaten us.
And I would never have lost one second's sleep over it. I don't think I ever suggested that "we" all either DO or SHOULD own weapons, pink or otherwise but I am very certain "we" need to insure our right to do so is safe.

[yardwork]

29. I did misunderstand. Sorry, and welcome to DU.

[Skwid]

30. Thank you, I'll try to be more concise in future!

This is a wild week for me, all the trips to the Super bowl. If I don't show up until Tuesday it isn't because I'm aloof.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. I don't know. Why do some people get fucking apopleptic over abortion and contraception?

Can you explain that?

Why do some people have little jesus-based tantrums at the thought that other folks are fucking for pleasure and not procreation?

Can you explain it?

Frankly, there's a lot more likelihood that we'll see women going to prison for taking birth control pills than we'll ever see meaningful federal gun control legislation in this country.

[DevonRex]

17. Just the pink ones, right? Cause they're gay and all. (sarcasm)

I've known quite a few gay guys who carry guns. In the military and federal law enforcement. They're fucking tough dudes. I assure you they don't carry Walther P22s of any color.

And nobody with a brain would even think of messing with them.

[Skwid]

28. See my reply to 'yardwork' it will save us both some time. :-)

[Warren DeMontague]

15. AS LONG AS ITS NOT CONDOMS OR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS!!!1111!!!!!!

Those are immoral.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

19. Whose ass would Jesus bust a cap in?

[kctim]

18. Thanks!

My little girl has been wanting something just like this.

[Renew Deal]

21. lol

[kctim]

23. What's funny

is that she has one with a pink frame, but now that she just became a teenager she wants one with a pink upper. This one does look a hell of a lot better.

[2ndAmForComputers]

25. You actually gave a handgun to your preteen daughter?

This is a joke, right?

[kctim]

31. Why would it be a joke?

She has been taught and has demonstrated safety and proper handling procedures. She has shown respect for the weapon and she is one hell of a shot.

What a sad life it must be to live in constant fear of the rights of others.

[2ndAmForComputers]

32. I'm not afraid of you.

I would explain the reasons why, but I don't want trouble with the moderation.

[kctim]

33. Sigh

I said fear the rights of others, not fear me or anything like that.

We are all raised differently. I don't care if you fear the 2nd Amendment rights of others and you shouldn't care if I practice them.
There is room for us all.

[2ndAmForComputers]

34. You project fear too much.

Why would anyone fear an abstract concept? Abstract concepts can't shoot anybody.

[Renew Deal]

20. That's "the cure" all right

[Blue Owl]

24. Go ahead, Pink... make my day...
