They do if you bought the purple Cav-Arms furniture.

My daughter (she's 8) didn't care one wit about firearms until see saw a pink stocked Cricket .22. Then it was, "Daddy, THAT'S COOL!" Guess what I bought....

If the color of a gun gets her interested in shooting, so be it.

My two kids (girls) are 12 and 14. A LONG time ago, I got first generation Cav Arms lowers (around Easter, if I recall properly) with their names as the serial #s, one in Pink (older), one in Purple (younger)––-when they more active shooting (and I can afford it), I'll put lightweight A2 uppers on them.

They have a Sig Mosquito and Ruger 10/22 between them (all black and black/stainless respectively).

Some day, they'll get SIG P6s (when they can handle them well enough)...they will probably be refinished, but remain a neutral color.

But, there is nothing wrong with manufacturers putting out pink guns, especially if it gets people who otherwise wouldn't be interested into shooting.

Pink is unquestionably my favorite color and makes it's way into my wardrobe pretty consistently.

But not on my gun.

I'm impressed it even has a matching purple sling.

Cav-Arms stuff just rocks!

I'm pretty sure pink handguns are banned in at least one county in NY. They are considered "deceptively colored" and too easily mistaken for a toy.

Personally, I don't like the way pink guns look and I think it's stupid for someone to buy a gun solely because of the color. If a person is into guns, though, and just happens to like theirs pink, then who cares?

It's not like women are barred from buying non-pink firearms. There are more non-pink firearms available for women to purchase than pink ones, so I don't see the point in the rant. It's not like sellers refuse to sell women anything but pink firearms.

Yeah, I'd never by my daughters a pink firearm unrequested. I regard it as condescending. If they wanted one I would, but I'd hold my nose. Damn things remind me of Pepto Bismol.

But honey, I SAVED $300 on all this stuff I bought!

Nassau County passed it. I believe there is some stay on its enactment since it was determined that it would outlaw all legally owned (many expensive) realtree/camo hunting rifles/shotguns.

So lame. Because so many people try to paint the tip blaze orange and walk down mainstreet.

With as many Rants as I've seen posted since joining this forum, ya'll want to get upset because I'm RANTING about the color PINK!

Oh well, such is life.................................................................

But on a serious note, if you like the color pink on your firearms, good for you. But you should never buy something just because of a color. You should buy it because it's something you will use.

My favorite color is camouflage

I have only my 870 3.5 mag in that color .

Camoed an old .22 turned out good, it fell over and the front of the stock broke where I epoxied and glued it before. Still have it. Now I shoot my spikes upper.

My wife says my favorite colors are camo or whatever flannel shirt I choose to wear on any given day.

Well, it could be worse, she could buy you a Pink Camo Flannel shirt. LOL
