As others point out most of the knee jerk, hysteria driven anti gun types are even offended by anything gun shaped. And the communities traditionalists submissive lay low approach to the public face of guns has done nothing to stop anti gun sentiments. I like the practical aspects of modern guns such as piccatinny attachment points, pistol and foregrips, compact and ultra compact dimensions because for many they improve our shooting experience as well as being pleasing to our eyes.
Back in the day early Airguns were often styled so their wooden furnature mimicked military service rifles like the 303 enfield, M14, 30 cal carbine etc to give them a bit of a martial appeal, same thing applies today.

, and those nasty macho gun names have to go as well, no more Nemesis, Vulcan, Trident, Hunter, Sniper, Ranger, Verminator, Assassin, Deer Hunter, Rabbit Killer etc We need to get in touch with our inner woman feelings ( can I say that these days? ) Our guns should have names like Breeze, Tamsin wind, Scirroco, Bambi, Olympic, Gardener, etc , All dyes and annodisation should be in pastel colours or rainbow colours as well doncha think ??
