Cammo patterns on shotguns, rifles, handguns, slingshots, pocketknives. How in the world did my poor old grandfather manage to bring home any game when he was growing up in the 1930's without any tacti-cool cammo shotguns? All he had was a blued-steel Remington Model 10. Poor old grandpa. It's a good thing he didn't starve before he made my dad or I wouldn't be here now.

Yes. YES. The deer don't know the difference. I can see it on a military weapon, but it's totally unnecessary on a sporting gun. I can't even count the number of times a day I get asked "Well why don't you have it in camo?" Sometimes the finish is peeling off already when I take out the gun in the store.
Oh, and guns with ridiculous muzzle brakes. At my store we have Mossberg .22s, .308s and shotguns with the Barret .50 cal-style muzzle brake, and another with a round pop-can sized brake with a picatinny rail on the bottom. It's absurd. And the Remington's with the breaching attachment. I have no objection to a civilian having one, but why would they need it?
