Pink AR Fights Breast Cancer
We’ve talked about the pink gun thing many times here, so a pink-stocked AR won’t take regular Gunshots readers by surprise. The interesting thing about this particular gun, however, is that it was auctioned off to raise money to help fight breast cancer.
The rifle, which was donated by DPMS, fetched $3,575. According to this, the auction attracted 34 bids and was viewed more than 23,000 times.
Sadly, you’re unlikely to see anything on this in your local paper or in any other mainstream media outlet.
—John Snow
Sadly, you're right in saying this won't be covered by the mainstream media. Regardless, the generosity is sure there--and that's a lot more important than anything else.

I hope the winning bidder took it for use at a Women On Target session, so they could see we both appreciate their participation and understand that the color doesn't matter, more that everyone is welcome into our ranks.

I would hunt the rest of my life if it meant that two important women in my life could be abosolutely cured of breast cancer.

I meant I would hunt with a pink rifle the rest of my life if a cure for breast cancer could be found. I also walk in the Relay for Life every year. I wore pink when I did it last year. Have one of your favorite ladies get breast cancer and you will think twice about it!

Great post Jim. My lovely bride had a lump doctors said, "we're going to keep an eye on," and I'd be proud to carry that pink DPMS to the range for the rest of my life.
Bravo to Randy Luth, his entire staff at DPMS and gunbroker.com.
