Repugs and gun safety
Richard Ruelas, a reporter for The Arizona Republic, found himself staring down the barrel of Republican state Sen. Lori Klein's raspberry-pink firearm during a recent interview at the Capitol.

"Oh, it's so cute," Klein said of the .380 Ruger that she carries in purse at all times.

While the loaded pistol had no safety and the laser pointer was centered on the reporter's chest, Klein explained that there was no need to worry.

"I just didn't have my hand on the trigger," she said.

3. Raspberry-Pink?
A gun that color could be mistaken for a toy.

4. To a child that is properly educated about firearms...
...and a gun owner that properly stores theirs when not in use, the color is not a factor outside of aesthetics.

Completely unacceptable. She should be in jail on charges of brandishing!
