The <i>only</i> important aspect of your carbine is its functionality and reliable operation.

Personally, I find the concept of brightly colored weaponry to be rather non-functional, but to each his own.<br /><br />I do think the greatest feature of the "pink gun" concept is the absolute "because I <i>can</i>, see?" stickfinger salute it implies. <br /><br />Remember <a href="http://www.lauerweaponry.com/item-detail-colorchoice.cfm?category=245&colorchoice=CPR26.jpg&colortype=bloomberg" rel="nofollow">this</a> glorious free-market innovation? Hell yeah. If my daughter (now two) wants her a pink rifle in the greatest Kaki King tradition, I'm listening... :-)Kevin Wilmethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18368887768008126052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-632928765983902491.post-43349672299540932102011-03-24T19:02:31.219-06:002011-03-24T19:02:31.219-06:00I'd like to get my girls a pink Savage .22 bol...I'd like to get my girls a pink Savage .22 bolt rifle.
