My mom used to be so against guns that she through my .22 away when I was like 10 or so. What a nut case I thought. Well, then, when I was 17, she developed breast cancer which was deemed life threatening. She had a very small chance of surviving. A double mastectomy and re-constructive surgery later, she survived. I know it took a great emotional tole on her, and myself and little brother. Recently, due to rising crime rates and burglaries, and due to my recent interest in hand guns (I always used to be a long rifle sort of guy), my mother decided she wanted to get a hand gun for home defense. She even dry fired my little 1911 with snap caps. Might not sound like a big deal to you guys, but for the Mama, that was somethin'. Well, I can tell you, I had been looking for a SIG P220 for Mama, but now, I am going to be re-considering.
As for your original question... are you insensitive? I don't think so. I would probably have reacted the same way had I not had an incident which happened to my own Mom that makes this gun fit my particular 'marketing niche.' Different strokes for different folks. I realize that this is a gun which probably does not really have much of a market.
