Unlike any other product available to the consumer the federal government cannot force a recall of guns.

Take the Glock for instance. It has no mechanical safety and the trigger pull (creep) is very short resulting in many accidental discharges and injuries. Any other product that produced this many injuries when used for its designed purpose would be recalled, not guns.

Gunz is sooooo special . . .
