So I just bought this 1911. I think she's a beauty except for the idiotic warning printed on the frame.

I was just reading .cheese.'s thread on the legality of removing warnings on handguns with incorporated lasers. My best guess is that Smith & Wesson is required (thanks to a civil suit brought by one of Darwin's finest) by law to include the warning, but that it is legal for the end user to remove the warning (a la a mattress). So my questions are:
A) Is it legal to remove the warning?
B) Could this be done without abrasion and a re-blueing? Via chemical removal without damaging the blue job?
C) What material is the text anyway? A type of paint?
Thanks!
