What is with all the warning labels On firearms these days
I dont know if its just california or what but i keep looking at these great looking guns. But when i flip it over its got 20 different warning labels stamped on it Like. Warning laser beam May fire with magazine removed Ect ect Its ruining the look of the guns they look like toys with all the warnings Seriously i think if your looking down a gun barrel the last thng you should be thinking is the light gonna hurt my eye How far do you think they will go with this crap. |
| New warning lables must be attached to all firearm the specifications of the lables are to be one inch thick by 12 in by 12 inches and are required to be made of 24 K Gold with you owner identification engraved on the lable. Lable must remain attached to the firearm at all times. |

That's always been one of my complaints with Smith and Wesson, they have to be some of the worst at this.
They have the lazer sticker if it has crimson trace on it It's got "capable of firing with magazine removed" Read owner's manual before use! Really? You had to stamp that in my damn gun? I know, I know it's just a tool right but damn it, it's hard to own a thing of beauty when it's got useless warning lables all over it. Stupid lawyers and lawsuits.

Quoted: Lawsuits. Lots and lots of lawsuits. This... It's not just relegated to guns bro. At the rafting company I used to work at we used to call Personal Floatation Devices (PFDs) life jackets or life preservers....until a family sued a company because their loved one drowned while wearing one. Overnight we had to change from life jacket/preservers to PFD's just as a CY6 thing. All of our liability waivers had to be changed as well (even though they don't do a damn lick of good in court) People look to sue over anything and everything now-adays. The American way used to be work hard and earn a good living, it's now become try to sue the shit out of someone and live off a big court settlement.

Ruger, in the past, on some of their products has had basically a paragraph on their revolvers.
Maybe they should just put one of those small barcode-like squares on the gun, (whatever they call them), like they put in ads in magazines. People with electronic devices could get a digital operator's manual or other info. anytime they wanted.
