[Spridgets] Zombie Ammo

[Andrew Payne]

While I may have to buy a box for the novelty, I have a real problem with
part of this.  The disclaimer basically says this ammo is only suitable for
use against zombies. It is likely a repackaged version of one of their
acclaimed defensive rounds. My complaints are these; marketing is great, but
guns and ammo are real and dangerous. I'm against things that make guns look
like toys. Honestly, if we have to ban a type of gun, I'd put the brightly
colored composite handguns (like the pink Walther p22s) much higher up the
list than scary looking "assault rifles". No one ever picks up an AR-15 and
thinks it's a watergun! Secondly, I fear someone will buy these as a home
defense round (which they probably are) defend themselves, and get sued
under the argument, "the coroner's report clearly says that he was NOT a
zombie, he has not risen! He has no hunger for brains!". This would be on
par with the wrongful death suits surrounding handloads and customized guns.
These suits are often overturned, but I feel the disclaimer may be pushing
extra liability on the customer.

Haven't had any gun content for awhile.  What a marketing concept.  Check
