While I agree that the "pink bitch" would not play well in front of a jury, I am not convinced that a pink AR-15 would suffer the same consequences. FWIW, I tend to think that if Michael Z Williamson's daughters ended up having to shoot someone in self-defense with their pink ARs the jury might just look kindly upon it. Cute kids with cute carbines forced to defend themselves against an aggressor, just seems like that would play better to a jury than kids with scary looking EBRs.<BR/><BR/>I'm just sayin.<BR/><BR/>P.S.
