Classic. THe Nazi Bloomberg even wants to dictate the color of my weapons all the way from New York City. The Billionaire closet homosexual with the "beard" wife, as every cop in NYC knows, is happy to pass on prosecuting an NYPD cop shooting an unarmed civilian, but he wants to tell people the color to paint their guns outside of New York. Only in America would you think you are a dictator because you have 3 billion dollars. I assume all of the Mayor's bodyguards have black guns only. Lord knows, no-one can buy a can of spraypaint in a hardware store and spray a weapon any color. Well you see by the lack of graffiti in NYC how well their spray-can ban works..right? Now try getting a gun permit there to protect yourself. If you aren't in the mob, a cop or politcally connected you wont get one. The way it's always been. So bug-off Bloomberg...you represent all he reasons intelligent, free people leave New York.

It's not uncommon to see painted "race" guns in IPSC. This, however, is just stupid.

Perhaps Bloomberg, either the man or the corporate entity should sue for unauthorized use of the Bloomberg name.

We should make guns completely illegal. I mean it works so well for marijuana, cocaine, alcohol...

So can I create "Bloomberg" products without repercussion or is this like naming a sandwich?

Papercutninja, That's exactly that point! CRIMINALS paint their guns orange. Why is Lauer catering to that? There are also gun manufacturers like Bryco Jennings and the now-defunct Raven, who made cheap pistols that are geared towards "low income families", meanwhile they are merely street guns. Unofrtunately, crime is a market for weapons-makers.

I'm not thrilled about the Lauer paintjobs, but criminals have been doing this for YEARS. Once the orange (or more: NYC states that anything looking like a gun must be more than 50% a bright color) muzzle tip law went into effect, thugs started painting orange tips onto their gats.

info@lauerweaponry.com is a way to contact them, should anyone else wish to express contempt for this truly despicable, tasteless garbage.

Extremely bad and irresponsible idea.

I can understand the desire by people in the gun industry to needle Mayor Bloomberg, but I agree with Novanglus and think Lauer is being totally counterproductive and irresponsible. Guns aren't fashion accessories and anyone who thinks they are is a complete tool. I can't imagine what Peter Vallone Jr. thinks of that graffiti rifle.

I am actually very pro-gun, but I have to say that I think this is extremely irresponsible on the part of Lauer. It is incredibly dangerous, asking for trouble, and works against progress. As for gun control, I believe that a fair and safe middle ground CAN be found through awareness, education and background checks.
