I know I'm being sarcastic, but how about this idea

From now on all body armor available to civilians (not military) must be pink in color. Also, all AR style semi-automatic rifles for civilian use must be pink as well.

This would not be against the 2nd Amendment, and it would weed out those who are using guns to enhance their manhood.

If it's not pink you can't wear it or carry it. Ohioboy Jun 2022 #3
Well, in theory, they'd become illegal if you do that, if the law is written thusly (nt) Hugh_Lebowski Jun 2022 #4
If you want to keep it, it must be painted Ohioboy Jun 2022 #7
I like it. But I'd add FLOURESCENT Pink, that way one can claim it's safety/visibility thing (nt) Hugh_Lebowski Jun 2022 #2

Do you think the person who asked you the question doesn't understand what you are saying there?

Lighten up. I am not a person who thinks femininity is bad. Do you need this post taken or something?

But I'll still jump in and ask ... which is more important?

Less AR-15's on the streets, or our delicate sensibilities about colors and which gender they're associated with?

I vote for the former.

"No, because pink is a good color and easy to see"

Seems you need to settle an argument with yourself, since that wasn't your answer to the question.

I’m an old fat guy and I think I look good in pink. Not necessarily pretty but good.

On an episode of House Hunters, a man walked into a bathroom with pink tile and exclaimed:

“This pink has drained all my masculinity”

I think pink guns might be a real idea.

A few years ago I told something similar to that to my gun supporting cousin. Pink assault rifles but with a speaker in the butt so that every time a clip was inserted, it would loudly play “I Feel Pretty”.

We are on the same page.
