Pink doesn't make things girls. When will people understand.
The material needs a defender more than the spiritual. If there is a higher power, it can defend itself from the material. Thus denotes 'higher power'.

I like how they made the gun pink.  Obviously a good conservative woman wouldn't be seen dead with some ugly man gun.

There are pink guns. It seems like when companies market guns to women they all get this idea "girls like pink stuff! Me make pink gun, girls will buy pink gun!" or something like that. I read a review by a woman about a colt1911 copy that had been marketed as a ccw pistol for women (with pink decorations) and the reviewer concluded that:
a) The gun was physically a bit too big for the average woman with small hands
b) The caliber had a bit too much of a kick for a weaker user
c) She would rather have the black version of the same gun.
No matter what happens, no matter what my last words may end up being, I want everyone to claim that they were:
"If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you could possibly imagine."
Aww, you guys rock. :)  I feel the love... and the pitchforks and torches.  Tingly!

It's a real gun too, btw. Kinda like the series of pink power tools for women. Cause you know, your power drill's gotta match your purse after all.

Power tools I can understand, if you like pink, but I don't understand why anyone would want a pink gun.

If you are in a situation where you need a gun, you want the other person to take you seriously as a threat, and having a pink gun doesn't exactly help with that.

Obscure factoid - there is a new fad amongst welders and construction workers in general to apply pink or flowery vinyl skins to their welding masks and tool bodies to discourage "borrowing" and "disappearing" of their tools. They even beg stickers from their little daughters (MLP, Rainbow Brite, Hello Kitty).

It's a big fun joke, and it works; the fuckin' idiots who would pilfer a tool are too stupid and insecure in their manhood to steal "girly"/"faggot" tools. Plus, the colors and patterns make it easier to locate a tool visually in a messy job site or work shop than even safety orange or yellow or lime green :)

Plus all that pinky, sparkly, frou frou stuff is pretty. I may be a Feminist who believes in bucking & blurring gender roles & such but I confess, I'm a sucker for pinky-winky-girlie-color/decor schemes. I love pinks; Pink, Hot Pink, Flourescent Pink, Purplely-Pink, etc. Pinks & Purples are my thing...and RAINBOWS...lots of rainbows! I love the juxtaposition of pinkness, girliness, and strong liberation! Who said "Feminine" had to mean "Weak"?
I'm a sex-positive feminist who loves to re-claim stereotypically girly things and making them symbols of liberation & power! Nothing is cooler, IMHO, than a beautiful, voluptuous, cosmetics-wearing, long-tressed ACTION GIRL who can solve complex math equations, solve riddles, debate successfully, lead multitudes, be a head-of-state, go chop-sockey on the bad guys & have TONS of red-hot sex!

The pistol that I have can come in pink. I remember a beauty queen some time back had a pink pistol in her purse and used it to stop an attacker. It just so happened she actually did like pink...

I like pink sparkly stuff, too.

And to be honest, I think there's a lot more guys out there that like the color pink (or even have it as a favorite color) than they'd care to admit, since pink is associated with women and so if any man likes pink he must be gay. (and while that is the line of logic that's followed, now that I read it, that's some fucking moon logic right there.)

Of course, gay men themselves tend to be a bit more open about the fact that they like pink because pink is associated with homosexuality through said moon logic.

Then again I've found pink shirts (no labeling) in the men's section before and even bought one, so who knows anymore?  Regardless, I know that this whole idea of pink being a woman's color actually had a small fad challenging it -- the "real men wear pink" fad.  It didn't go anywhere, but my first encounter with it was, hilariously, the fundamentalist church I used to go to.  No one actually seemed bothered.

In one of my favorite book series (the Mercy Thompson novels by Patricia Briggs) the protagonist's mother has a pink Glock.

If I had to guess...

Homosexual Boy Scout Leader (because as well all know, all gays are transvestites and all transvestites are gay) because the ACLU is pushing for homosexuals to be able to join boy scouts (we're talking about the kids here, not the leaders necessarily.  Besides, the ban on gays hasn't stopped Boy Scouts from having just as many pedophiles as the Catholic Church, complete with as much sheltering) and an evolutionist (because all evolutionists are atheists suddenly.  Also, the tired old myth of "evolutionists believe we evolved from monkeys, so they're saying that we're all just monkeys!") joining the Salvation Army, because the ALCU wants the Salvation Army to be more religiously neutral as opposed to Christocentric.

In case anyone was wondering.

A fairy that that grants wishes defending peoples rights... I fail to see why that's a bad thing.

The top cartoon makes no sense to me whatsoever, but that may just be because I have very little knowledge of American politics...

Probably because whoever wrote that cartoon believes that the ACLU isn't protecting people's rights, but campaigning for "special rights" for gays and evolutionists, while also campaigning to take away rights from Good ChristiansTM.
