How Can a Pink Kitty Be Bad?

When it's a fully functional AR-15 Assault Rifle?  In pink. 

Now this could make up for the dissapointment when the Barbie Minivan didn't really meet my daughter's expectations.  If only my favorite Federalist, Gene Volokh, had told me about this before Christmas.

Hello Kitty AR-15

And if you feel that li'l Suzy will feel neglected if there's only one gift under the tree, you can always add the Rainbow Brite Ammo Loader Kid.



Or the Care Bear body armour. 




And what about that budding homemaker?  All available at GlamGuns, together with the full line of Dora The Explorer weaponry.

    Not in New York. Quite a few years ago, your state required the registration of rifles with some of those features -- not the pinkness, but the flash suppressor and the bayonet lug -- and then, a few years later, required those who had registered firearms with those features to turn them in, forever putting paid to the notion that in the US, registration doesn't lead to confiscation.

    (One guy I know of had moved to Colorado in the interim. When he got the letter from the NY state authorities, demanding that he surrender his rifle, he sent back a not entirely friendly note; his former house was raided by a SWAT team.)

    My thirteen year-old wouldn't want one of those, anyway; the .223 round isn't legal for deer hunting in Minnesota, and she's going to be going out with an SKS this fall.

      But does your 13 year old have Care Bear body armour?  Actually, that's probably too babyish for a teenager.  And besides, the deer usually don't shoot back.

        No, they don't; neither do the plastic-wrapped packages of ground beef I buy in the supermarket.

        And, no, she doesn't own body armor. Neither, for that matter, do I. Even the lightweight Seconc Chance stuff is awfully uncomfortable to wear, and I avoid situations where it might be of some use.

          But there's really no reason to shoot the plastic-wrapped packages of ground beef you buy in the supermarket.  It's already dead, and bullets could damage your teeth.  Besides, its hardly sporting to shoot packaged beef.

            True enough. (Except for the bullets damaging your teeth part; I don't think it's at all sporting -- or useful -- to hunt with a round that couldn't even penetrate a package of ground beef.) The notion is that a single, well-placed shot should quickly kill the animal -- that's why the rifle you show wouldn't be legal to hunt deer with in Minnesota; the .223 round isn't considered powerful enough, although it's perfectly fine for smaller game and varmints; some folks spend a fair amount of time shooting ground hogs with the Evil Black Rifles.

    Methinks some trademark owners are going to be very upset when they come across this site.

      Methinks they're going to be thrilled!  Aside from "fair use" for commentary, I'm promoting their products, since I'm not selling them.  In fact, I should get a little advertising revenue for helping them out.  Who knows how may Care Bear body armour vests are being sold at this very moment because of my help.

        There's been lots of instances where the promiscuous use of jejeune cease-and-desist letters has earned a company a huge amount of the sort of attention that they don't want. Sending one to a lawyer with a very visible blog would be a very good way to get that sort of bad attention.

        Not likely.

        That said, if somebody really wants an EBR in cute colors, the best place to go would probably be Cavalry Arms; they actually make such.
