This would be because right-wing gun porn is exactly that: porn.

In attempting to present a strong female image, it utterly fails because it is actually aimed, and knowingly so, at a male target demographic. The objective is not to impress upon women that they can defend themselves in any and all situations by having a gun (which is the implication), but rather to titillate men by presenting them with the image of sexy women being gung-ho about guns.

It’s exactly the same as car porn and motorcycle porn. That stunningly gorgeous lady in the bikini and stilettos doesn’t give one single shit about that car/bike/gun, she’s just there to make a pretty picture for you to get off on because “thing I like + hot ladiez = oh yeah!”.
