Plinker, if you're a liberty minded person, maybe try watching the first 2-3 episodes of the show, the whole series is on Youtube.

Maybe you'll like it, maybe you won't.

I've done a LOT of write ups in the My Little Pony thread in the Lounge, but long story short - it's a good show, with a good message. It's whimsical and stylish such that young girls can enjoy it, but with themes, tie-ins with pop and nerd culture (including some crazy ones, like Apocalypse Now, Escape from LA, Trainspotting, The A-Team, Star Trek, Star Wars, The Big Lebowski, etc.), plot and character development that 30 year old, ex (and serving) military guys can appreciate. Also the production studio (Hasbro) is well aware of the development and does a lot of tasteful and clever pandering to it.

Personally, I think the rise in the non-interventionist, liberty movement among young people accounts for the Brony meme going viral and the Brony community growing to epic proportions (easily in the millions).

The message between the two certainly is consistent.

The main message of the show fundamentally revolves around friendship as a powerful force that comes from inclusive, mutually voluntary and reciprocal relationships formed based on acceptance of individual's unique characteristics, preferences, behaviors, and beliefs - even and especially when they are seemingly completely incompatible.

I think a 1911 with Fluttershy grips is very much a metaphor for this very philosophy.

The concept of gun ownership as a closed society, only available to a select few who satisfy very specific criteria is nonsense. If the community of gun owners was comprised only of "manly men conservatives" I would completely empathize with the anti's. Nazi Germany actually had a thriving gun culture (for those who the government deemed suitable to own guns), and it was all to re-enforce a government serving stereotype that "real men" had to do macho things like target shoot and serve in the military.

If the shooting community was a community of individuals (men, women, AND especially children) who see shooting as a means to form meaningful relationships with other individuals, regardless of their personal characteristics, preferences, background, and beliefs - I think it would be VERY difficult to destroy and much more worthy of respect.

Harbl, I do count myself as liberal minded, and therefore lean to acceptance more often than not. I would also like to thank you for your explanation of the paradox that you are drawing attention to by installing "my little pony" panels on your 1911, however I haven't smoked marijuana in many, many years so I don't believe that a cartoon could hold my attention past a nano second without this mind altering assistance. I think I'll pass on watching the show, but again, thanks for the education and for what it's worth I say "fill yer boots!"
 
Amen brother... To the last part. My little pony, whatever floats your boat. That s the great thing about guns, they're yours and you can do whatever the hell you want with them and because its a gun, no body will mess with you.
 
The guy on the range next to you could have MLP grips on inside out and you wouldn't know.
The very images you fear would awake your latent pedo, right beside you and you wouldn't know.
Maybe, just maybe, we should get it out in the open. I know I have, and I feel the better for it.
 
As much as I want to hate on people for their love of MLP I still recall Powerpuff girls being the s--t so I really can't say anything bad. I do believe the show is decent but has a fan-base far surpassing it's quality and part of that may just be do to people just liking it because people hate them for it (most WoW players I know are the same way)
 
About Ponies, so this thread can talk about Pistols (with pony grips).

I never watched PowerPuff girls, but the main pony in MLP is voiced by the same voice actress that was one of the Powerpuff girls.

Also, there was a fanmade crossover episode that was pretty good (I think I missed some of the PPG references).

Funny. I could've written the exact same thing to describe Trailer Park Boys and that is a show that I initially thought was total garbage. If the underlying message in MLP is the same, then it's gotta be alright. If having MLP grips on your 1911 makes you feel & project the same positive message then I think that's great. I've got a TPB "Julian" glass and I know it always puts a smile on my face to sip on a 40 Creek & Pepsi out of it.
 
I think Harbel is doing a great job exposing what is wrong within our community.

It's also pretty obvious he made his nork 20% cooler in 10 seconds flat.

I'd get a set of Derpy Hooves grips, but I'm afraid my sights would go askew...

Sorry; what?

The joke is that a background pony in an early episode was animated with crossed eyes, fans dubbed her derpy hooves, because of her derped expression, so naturally a firearm with her likeness would have crooked signs

In related news, I'm gonna buy one of these for my 10/22 someday and put Rainbow Dash's cutie Mark on it because it would be amazing

and that is the mindset north americans need to get past if we're ever going to get better animated series and movies. this whole "they're for kids" mindset is killing the industry. We'll never get anything more than spongebob or fairly odd parents if viewers don't acknowledge that animation can be more than for wacky cartoons for kids. Look at what comes out of Japan, are those "cartoons" just for children? Is Ghost in the Shell for children? what about Speed Grapher? what about Welcome to the NHK? 5CM Per Second? Usagi Drop?

the difference between those shows and something like MLP is that in Japan animation has been accepted as an art form, a well accepted vehicle for storytelling while here in North America it's still, "Just a dumb cartoon for kids." I dont like MLP myself, but it's got a lot in common with anime that targets an adult audience. the only difference is the market has forced them to make it so bright and colorful and childish. To say you haven't smoked enough marijuana to even try and pay attention is simply offensive.

there will always be things that can only look amazing or even right in 2D animation. there are things you simply cant do with live action or even 3D animation. We'll never get to make or see those things if the "it's for children" mindset continues. Compare the dream sequence in Inception when decaprio's character is teaching the girl how dream worlds work, to any of the dream sequences in Paprika.

Back on topic: when i get a 1911 (or two as i want to keep one absolutely bare and classic) i want Totoro grips. To fit the style it'll probably be wood grips with the image carved into it
