“If you get the woman, you get the whole family.”

In 2018, an NRA executive uttered these words on tape, giving voice to a rising movement in the gun industry: marketing to moms. From Instagram’s #glockermoms to the AR-15 toting preteens whose socials they run, there’s no question that there’s one statistic currently rising alongside the number of mass shootings per year: moms who own or want to own guns.

However, by virtue of their unofficial status as the "DEI team,” they are the closest thing to moms available on a Thursday night.

They might have to compromise their values, deeply held beliefs, romantic relationships, friendships, families, eating habits, sleep schedules, promises to stop drinking, family members’ lives, etc., etc. etc, to get it done.

But that’s how you get Big Money.

Which is what we all want.
