A while ago I posted about Hello Kitty themed guns but it appears that reality has now overtaken art with there being a market for "cute" pink guns for girls in the US. And their popularity is increasing, with many models selling out within weeks.
Such guns for girls include a Remington 20-gauge shotgun - which comes a pink and black stock emblazoned with the slogan: "Shoot like a girl if you can!" Apparently these guns were aimed at females interested in hunting. You can even get a matching t-shirt!
You can now also get a pink taser - sold as a "personal protection system" and have a bespoke gun made though companies such as Jim's Gun Supplies who can create a custom finish of whatever you may desire...
