NYTimes: Only women should have guns

[Rex B]

Per Don Foreman, on an unrelated newsgroup:

NYTimes columnist Randy Cohen suggests, with tongue in cheek, that
only women should be allowed to have guns.

Wot a brilliant idea! The arms industry could use some lipstick.

I can't wait to see the handgun and holster designs from the likes of
Donna Karan, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, etc.
Rhinestone Rugers, Luscious Lugers, glitzy glittering Glocks like the
"after nine nine", Victoria's Secret Sig, the Hanna Montana banana
clip (for her AK-47), the La Perla front sight that won't snag fine
lingerie for the most intimately concealed carry...

Also the articles in Cosmo and Redbook:

"The Ruger LCP: a little black gun to go with your little black dress"
"38 bra gets their attention, .38 in your purse keeps them polite"
"Is the .38 truly special?"
"Which popper is proper with PMS?"
"Glamo ammo and brass bling"
"Semiauto vs revolver: décolletage and hot brass"
"Stroller Scabbards and Heavenly Holsters"
"Organic recipes for handgun handloads"
"Aroma therapy with Hoppe's #9 nitro solvent"
"Add vanilla and cinnamon to your powder for festive gunsmoke"
"The .17HMR for shooting varmints from the kitchen window without
waking the baby"

Making guns attractive to women may well be an inspired marketing and
political maneuver. Well done, Mr. Cohen!

Point #1. Anyone who thinks women are incapable of sensless violence has never worked as a bouncer at a bar.


Point #2. P.M.S.

I love my wife dearly but there are times when I might want to work late.

Good point.

What about the women all over the world who pretend to be men????

Obviously, those people should pretend to have a gun

Is it a hate crime if they pretend to be shot?
