    This American company and its employees promote breast cancer patient and survivor advocacy -- not just for breast cancer on a personal level, but survivorship in general. Empowering women on any level is to be applauded. The idea that an inanimate object is somehow responsible for the deaths of women is ludicrous. This company empowers women, and their friends, colleagues, and supporters, to take action on many levels, to promote survivorship. Both Julie and Smith&Wesson are to be applauded. This atrocious accusation is unacceptable. I will buy one of these myself to support the cause and to voice my opposition to the comments made by PRWatch.

    I think you missed the point. Julie Goloski is a top competitor in the field of Practical shooting. She, and her sponsor (S&W) were attempting to get brand-placement recognition in support of breast cancer awareness.

    Danica Patrick and the Indy Racing league support breast cancer awareness. Cars kill more females than guns. Maybe we should criticise them?

    It is a bit unfair to refer to Julie Goloski-Golob as a person who profiteers on on the Pink movement. Julie has contributed many donations to woman and children through the locks of love program, long before being honored by this signature firearm, with proceeds of said firearm being contributed to Breast Cancer Research and awareness. Her company, Smith and Wesson, has the largest program to empower women to become responsible firearms owners and users. Perhaps a bit of research would have gone a long way to vilify Julie G and Smith and Wesson before printing this obviously biased article. As we all know, there are two sides to every story.

    Your argument is nothing more than a fallacy. You cannot compare a gun to a drug. That is comparing apples to zebras. Guns do not kill people, people kill people. Guns are merely a tool. Would you be offended if Buck made a pink knife, or if Ford made a pink car. You could say, "Nothing kills more people than cars." Yet I bet we wont see you boycotting Mary Kay for making a pink Cadillac.

    Anyways, people make the conscious decision to smoke, and the cats been long out the bag that it may cause health problems.
