No one ever thought of making such a warning because nobody thought anyone would be this stupid!
I've literally seen pocket lighters that had a warning that said "Do not use near fire or flame", coming from a device literally designed to generate fire! 😂
People have already proven themselves excessively stupid, I don't see why guns aren't required to have a lengthy safety warning literally etched into the metal by now. 🤷♂️
As Dave Barry famously observed, the box a Water Pik comes in bears the warning, "Do not use while sleeping."
Guns already have lengthy safety warnings etched into them. Unfortunately, there definitely isn't enough space to describe every moronic thing people could do with them.
I've never seen any warnings etched into guns before, but I haven't seen any newer guns made since like the mid 90s.
All I've ever seen etched into guns was the brand name, ammo size, serial number, and where the safety button/switch is.
It started in the 70's, By the 80's Ruger was putting it on all of theirs. After Dix V Baretta in the 90's it became fairly standard.
Fair enough. I was never a gun enthusiast, but my late father had like 5 different older guns I got to try out back in the day. 🤷♂️
