Komen org is now denying any ties to the retailer, who has apparently taken down the web page where the pistol was featured and is refusing to comment to the press at this time.

In reply to It appears to be factual

It is, however, untrue that Komen's slogan for 2012 will be "Kill Cancer Dead!" Though it does have a certain ring.

No you are not the only one. The foundation has been criticized for years. The public is now getting a look at how much there is to criticize.

Village Voice:

Mother Jones reported that Komen hasn't halted $7.5 million in grants to Penn State -- though the university is clearly under federal investigation for a child sex abuse scandal.

And now, this:

Discount Gun Sales, a firearms retailer, "is proud to team up with the Susan B. Komen 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"(h/t Daily Kos' Scott Wooledge).

The Hope edition, as it turns out, has an "exclusive" DuraCoat Pink slide and appears to be an entirely un-ironic, real thing.

For only $429.99, it looks like, you can defend yourself -- and help prevent breast cancer -- with this modern polymer pistol.

A lot of small pistols and revolvers for women feature that ugly, pepto-bismol pink.
