I got to give "credit" to Ruger for starting all the extra writing on firearms. Got to keep the lawyers that work for the company in new Beemer’s you know.
That is also the norm now in designing cars; it’s done more by the lawyers than engineers and also generates an owner’s manual with enough pages of warnings to wipe out a large tree.
why bother most people committing crimes dont read anyways

Light roll marks... at first I misread it and thought it said "Fires without Vagazine". How sexist.

CAUTION: Preparation H is a powerful astringent. Using it to brush teeth will result in having to communicate by whistling.

My Beretta M-92FS also has long warnings. Just harder to see on the black Bruniton finish.
Is that a M-21-A? .22 Short or .25? How's it cycle and shoot? Can you hit, say, the bottom of a std. Coke bottle or can to at least 10 feet? Firing offhand? Is it reliable?
Don't shoot at glass or metal ; that's just a size reference. (I have to post that, or someone will warn us.)

"it’s done more by the lawyers than engineers"
Maybe the lawyers need to advise the gun companies regarding what juries are up to. Now who is on the juries? If I could only remember - not me!

Looks like Ruger has some stiff competition with that. At least S&W doesn’t roll mark the instructions on how to use the IL.

While I agree that it's ridiculous, let's not forget whose fault this is: ours. And I don't mean you and me individually, but us as a society which has only one response to any screw-up: get a lawyer, blame someone else, and sue them. And as if that isn't enough, we've also come to accept that people use the courts to push policies they can't get majorities for in the political process; left and right are equally guilty of that, so there's no majority to stop that.
Given the ways in which politicians and anti-gun organizations have tried to use the courts over the last few decades to attack gun manufacturers and to make staying in business prohibitively expensive for them, fortunately with limited success so far, I don't blame them one bit for being proactive in protecting themselves.
So it's easy to make fun of them, but they're not doing it just because their lawyers have nothing better to do.
Thank YOU. Everyone seems to want to ridicule the company for this kind of thing, but I'll bet if any one of us was in the manufacturing business, we'd quickly figure out that we'd better do the same thing.

Well I think it is a pretty little gun. I like it and don't think the rollmark is that offensive. Does it come in .22 LR??
