Consider that guns may be perceived as wholly inappropriate products to use to promote cancer awareness at all. What is the connection between guns and cancer other than the fact that both kill people?
What if D-Con made a special, pink box of breast cancer awareness rat poison? Or a chemical company promoted a special breast cancer awareness pesticide? What would you think of that? It would be over the line. It would be absurd. So it is with the gun.
Rodent poison may have a useful purpose, but it would simply be inappropriate to put forth this bizarre type of promotion.
Yes, she's an athlete.
Julie G. is a top female competitor in the shooting sports, particularly the USPSA.
If you're not familiar, this sport requires physical skill to negotiate an obstacle course, while shooting, and your score is a reflection of accuracy and speed.
"competitor" "sport" "physical skill" "score" ...all clues that yes, she's an athlete.
In fact, she was the US Army Athlete of the Year awhile back.
Does writing a biased opinion on the web make someone a journalist?

So it is with a breast cancer awareness gun.
Guns kill. Breast cancer kills.
Inappropriate.

I am unclear as to Julie Goloski's "personal sacrifices" in the name of breast cancer.
Anne Landman
The piece did not state that Julie Goloski profits personally from the sale of the breast cancer awareness gun.
