The vicepresident doesn't have much to do. Why not send him or her to lead the charge into battle? I think VP Cheney would have loved that.

To win all you have to do is persuade the enemy to give up fighting. That is how the USA lost the wars in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan.

While on the subject of women and pink guns, here is a video of a properly trained girl using a pink gun for its intended purpose: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tiiQQP4-Ijw

What would have been the outcome if the girl hadn't had that cute gun, or hadn't been trained to use it properly?

I will admit I wasn't trying to be serious with that comment. I am in fact 100% in favor of women and gays having as many guns as they want in whatever color they prefer, as long as they join the NRA ASAP and receive adequate training in their safe and proper use. Hitting a target with real guns is a lot harder than hollywood would like us to believe. The reason is that real guns have a lot of recoil, while hollywood guns do not. This video illustrates my point very well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXfg5o1ZVq4

Go to the toy section of any store and take close notice of the colors used by the toys and the toy packaging. I assure you there is plenty of reliable research behind those choices. I agree that guns need to be kept away from children reach regardless of color, except at the shooting range under close supervision and with proper training.

For some strange reason gun control people like to assume criminals obey the law. They are wrong. "If we make all guns illegal then criminals will have to get rid of them" the naive gun control folks think. In most places there are already laws that prohibit criminals from owning guns. Passing more of the same won't change anything.

Nothing would prevent criminals from paining their existing guns pink in order to make them look legit if they wish to do so. However, since most criminals carry their guns concealed, it really doesn't matter much to them what the gun color is.

There might be kids out there who get guns to look macho or cool, but for the vast majority of legal gun owners a gun is nothing more than the right tool for the right job. A gun serves the same purpose as an electric drill, which is to make small holes on different targets. The gun is better than the electric drill when the holes need to be made at some distance from the target. This is sometimes necessary, such as when you return home and find a stranger hidding in one of the rooms waiting to ambush you (happened to me once).

Then why not start a whitehouse petition asking for cops to wear pink uniforms too?

If gang bangers start teasing each other over their pink guns this will surely lead to even more gun violence.

I'ts worse than that. Alcohol is a level 1 carcinogen, so it's in the same list as asbestos, plutonium and gamma rays.

Per TFA, the female fruit flies prefer laying their eggs on alcohol containing food when the killer female wasps are around, but prefer non-alcoholic food when there are no wasps or when only male wasps are around. They can even tell the difference between different species of wasp. That is smarter than some people I know, let me tell you.

Exactly. That is why when I look for a lawyer, dentist or doctor I make sure they didn't go to college. If I see any degrees hanging on the wall during the first visit I am out there ASAP!

Obviously you have no idea how vaccines work. Please do a google search on this subject and you will understand why feeling some sickness shortly after taking a vaccine is a sign the vaccine is doing its job.

False. Most doctors and nurses do take the flu vaccine. Some do object but it is due to various reasons, including allergy to the vaccine and religious beliefs.

I had the flu shot this year and still got the flu a couple months later. However it was a mild case of flu, so I think the vaccine did some good. I go to the gym regularly several times a week and take exercise classes as well as use the exercise machines. In the exercise clases I am exposed to plenty of sweaty and less than sterile mats, dumbells, balance balls, etc, and we lay on the floors a lot. Perhaps it was unrealistic to think a vacine could completely protect me from that much exposure to germs.

So only rich people are allowed to make slashdot submissions? No wonder so many of my submissions are voted down so quickly.

What a harebrained idea.

This will drastically increase the number of women and gays who own guns. Do you really want your girlfriend or gayfriend to have a loaded pink gun during their monthly PMS time?

This will also make dangerous guns look like attractive toys to children. Why in the world would anybody want that?

Finally, this will create a huge black market for non-pink guns. If the gov can't keep controlled substances from the streets, what makes you think they can keep non-pink guns from the streets?
