The Susan G. Komen Foundation, which has found itself in the center of a storm over abortion this week after cutting off Planned Parenthood, may have just stepped into another emotional policy debate: guns.
A Seattle-area company, Discount Gun Sales, is advertising a "Walther P-22 Hope Edition."
The company says on its website: Discount Gun Sales is proud to team up with the Susan B. Koman Foundation to offer the Walther P-22 Hope Edition in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.
A portion of each P-22 Hope Edition will be donated to the Seattle Branch of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. The P-22 Hope Edition has an exclusive DuraCoat Pink slide in recognition of Breast Cancer Awareness month. Utilizing the same reliable controls and firing mechanism that has made the Walther P-22 America's top selling handgun, the Hope Edition will be a limited production pistol offered exclusively through Discount Gun Sales.
The price is $429.99.
The Walter P-22 was made infamous in 2007 when it became one of two pistols used to killed 32 people at Virginia Tech University.
Last year, Federal Premium Ammunition began offering pink shotgun shells with some of the proceeds going to breast cancer research.
What better way to express hope and health than a $429.99 hand gun?
