Still makes me wanna puke.


Thank You for remembering.


I feel weird liking your post. But I’m not allowed to make jokes about it. I was...... advised the last time I did when dem there nuts first came out.

I remember that abomination. Ewwww.....

Hey. I don't insult pictures of YOUR guns.

If that's what it takes to get a daughter, wife, girlfriend, girl cousin to shoot, I'm all for it.

There's that. However I used it in plate matches. It was mostly a way to experiment with a reflex sight on a revolver.

It became a fun gun to shoot at plate matches.

I've given it to a coworker at the gunshop, who has refreshed the paint job, put a six inch heavy target barrel and an Aristocrat Sight Rib. All in pink.
Oh, except the cylinder. It's got a stainless cylinder now.

A real Franken Gun
 
Sorry, but I thought this was going to be a funny and silly thread.
Your assertive insertion of seriousness is unwarranted and dulling.
I must take umbrage at your feigned outraged at firearms decorations.
Thus, I counter you with...

While I'm at it , to suggest that Hello Kitty is "what it takes" to get a woman to shoot a gun is a sad commentary on some male attitudes towards women.

“Isn’t that right, Honey? Those dumb men, right, Sweety?”:neener:

(Insert gratuitous eye roll here...):p

My lady’s .357 is pink as well.
When you tell her your opinion on it, keep in mind she is an adult, and holding a .357, and shooting you is the least painful thing she could think of...

“Won’t someone, please!
Think of the children!”

I do. So when Little Bear wanted a red Rascal instead of a black one, he got it!
When my Mini-Amazon wanted hers painted blue with stars and planets, guess what? She got it, too!

Maybe you’re as boring as a mud fence, or perhaps all of the un-aged humans you come across barely eek across the line of under control or all those you shoot with leave their firearms unlocked, loaded and in the nursery. But that fact is, most humans see color.

:neener:

Do you see it yet?
 
I believe it is called "The High Road".

Aww, come on. There ya go bein' all serious again. Lighten up.:)

and not be foolish and irresponsible

Yeah? Well. Thats, like, just your opinion, man...;)

And this is The High Road. You are welcome to your opinion, and I mine.
But be a man about it, it is totally high road to discuss differing opinons and not call others "fools and careless". Nor fein personal slights.

Same side, man.
And some girls do like pink.:D

It was nice talking with you.:)
 
Ok , I would like to pose an analogy. I will do so without any response or statement directed towards anyone who has voiced a different opinion on this subject. No point in getting personal.

Let's consider a household item that would be dangerous in the hands of a child : drain cleaner. We can all agree that drain cleaner must be handled only by adults , and kept away from children. Let's put irresponsibility aside and consider a mistake based scenario - the drain cleaner (sulfuric acid) is left out in the open because the adult screwed up - forgot , became distracted , whatever. A child enters the room. Wouldn't the likelihood of a child noticing and grabbing at that container be greatly increased if it had a big bright Hello Kitty label?
Wouldn't it be foolish and wrong to place such a label on that product?

My position is that Hello Kitty sends an odd mixed message , and any potential safety risk cannot be justified by an adult opinion that such motif is cute.
A gun is not a toy , should not be made to look like a toy.

To paraphrase Michael Corleone : It's not personal Sonny, it's strictly safety.

We were taking a break and I remembered that Grandma wanted some pictures. I sat Little Bear down and got a nice one I thought...
Boy, did I get it when I showed her. “What!? Why doesn’t he have safety glasses on?! How can you let him shoot with out glasses?!”
She doesn’t believe me about stopping for a photo session. I have it on my phone lock screen and more than one helpful person reminded me he should have specs on!:D A cursed image it is!
Oh well, it’s a good photo of him.:)

For my second submission...

That poor pistol...:(
One of its cylinder notches is backward.
:D
 
Drain cleaner is Sodium hydroxide, caustic. I do get your point though. Carry on.

No. I don't believe it would.

I can agree that if hello kitty is next to plain black that Hello Kitty may be more likely to be touched 1st if shown at the same time.

But thats different that the 3 yr old that finds a loaded gun because of a careless owner.

They'd find it regardless of the color.

They don't find it because of the color.o_O
 
Fair enough. Sorry man.

I guess........ if it shoots.

It does, . . , did, . .
I haven't shot it since it's most recent iteration.

You are certainly entitled to your opinion, and to quote Ben Franklin: "Everyone's an expert on the Internet".
