Rhetorical of course, I don't suppose we have stats anywhere on such things.

In the recent and quite well-balanced (I thought)
20/20 special "Young Guns," some of the kids who have been exposed to firearms education violated safety rules when they saw various brightly colored firearms, thinking that they were toys. After watching, I took time out to re-watch it with Anna, and to highlight to her that because of current marketing trends, there can well be firearms painted/made in various colors, and that she is to
treat everything that looks like a gun as a gun, regardless of how it may appear otherwise.

FWIW, it surprised me that my 8-and-1/2 year old daughter went for "wood and black" as her preferred aesthetics when she picked out her first firearms earlier this summer. She's definitely a pink-and-purple-and-fluorescent, frills and lace kind of girl.
My thoughts?
Whatever floats your boat.
We've all got our own style. Who am I to cramp someone else's?
