Hard Corps Weaponry is a studio that specializes in the custom painting of guns, including this nifty FNP9 in a John Deere theme. Other guns in the gallery include a Hello Kitty shotgun, a Miami Hurricanes Glock 23, and many exotic camouflage schemes.

The graphic near the bottom of this page is contrary to human and American values and should not be condoned or tolerated:

In addition, many of the guns are painted with the emblem "kufar" meaning infidel, denoting religious war. America does not fight religious wars and anything denoting such is likely to increase the risk to US soldiers fighting abroad.
"Those types of guns can only be used for one thing: To kill other people"
Never mind that the vast, vast majority of rounds squeezed off in this country are fired at *targets*.
As for the image at the bottom of the page ("Do you believe in Allah? Your [sic] about to meet him") I'm just delighted that the idiot who put that together doesn't comprehend your/you're.
"Its bad enough that a lot of americans are obsessed with guns (oh yeah, for defense)"
Ahem:
"According to the National Self Defense Survey conducted by Florida State University criminologists in 1994, the rate of Defensive Gun Uses can be projected nationwide to approximately 2.5 million per year -- one Defensive Gun Use every 13 seconds."
Anyhow, do not alter your home/personal defense weapon. Trust me.
As a gun owner, I can say that sometimes, you just want something different than what everyone else has. And some people's taste range from subtle to tacky.
Last night, when this was posted, I had considered posting " America = Guns = Evil reference in 3-2-1..."

Have never lived anywhere that a firearm would be useful, either for hunting or defense.
Ignorance leads to fear, fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate. I haven't met a single person who bothered to learn about the proper care and handling of firearms who makes the knee jerk reaction GUNS=BAD!
You will only arrive at that conclusion through sheer sheltered ignorance.
@Yousaf -I only see one rifle with the "kufar" on it. That gun with the "infidel" scheme on it, is in reference to the HALO game. which is why the Marine logo on it looks as it does.. The owner is probably a fan of the game, in the Marines and is probably not Muslim. Thus the "kufar" on the barrel.
Another double standard brought to you by the religion of peace.
Sweeping generalizations aside, objecting to the glorification of guns is not necessarily a "knee-jerk reaction" or a reaction based on fear. Some of the reaction is simply common sense: why make your gun look like a toy? Why make a can of rat poison look delicious? Why make medication look like candy?
Frau's explanation of their use in competitions makes sense. It's like slapping logos on your race car. Not so common in the real world.
People get their hunting rifles customized with camo patterns, all the time. Gun manufacturers offer special color selections. This is just someone tapping into a niche market of "getting your favorite ______" put on the firearm and offering a better camo pattern than what is available from the manufacturer.
Camo patterns I can understand, although if camo really worked, you'd always lose your gun every time you set it down. "Where'd it go now?"
I just don't picture a lot of guns with the fancier patterns and logos on them, but I'm not part of that scene. In the end, I think it's silly to make them look like toys, but that's just my opinion.
Funny. None of my guns have ever killed anyone. Which would be impossible, if they're only meant to kill people, right?
"Assassination weapons"? Where did you pull that term from? Sounds like something a child would say.
Here's to hoping for more of these types of article, glorifying "assassination weapons", so you don't ever come back again.
