That's a battlefield pickup. If I had the spare change I would buy one because of what it represents: The fight for freedom.

Also, the Chinese government did not profit from those weapons. They provided them to North Korea and Vietnam.

Yes, and I'm sorry if you're offended, especially because you are good guy and let me shoot your Ruger, which is a fine pistol otherwise.

The warning labels bother me on principle. To me, they imply "You're too stupid to know that this is a weapon."

Does any gun come today without some kind of read the manual label?

I looked at about 1,000 handguns at the NRA convention in 2005, and only a few brands had warning labels engraved or stamped into them.

I think our Remington shotguns had peel-off labels, but it's been a while since I bought them.

Is that on the pistol itself or the magazine?

I can understand why you're proud, but the fact that such a thing can happen in the United States is sad.

I won't own anything with a warning label. Everyone over the age of four knows it's an [emphatic adjective] deadly weapon.

I also won't buy anything from China unless it was a battlefield pickup (purely hypothetical at this point).
