They will get you lynched in court - don't do it
They may add weight to the prosecution depending on the circumstances
Doubtful they would have any significance in court, but fellow enthusiast may ridicule them
It won't make any difference either way - do what you want

Regardless of any liability issue. I don't play makeup any more with my hammer than any other tool in my house, including defensive firearms.
Aesthetics do come into play for non-defensive firearms, but I prefer to be subtle with it.
With the recent case in FL the prosecution will try to use any form of potential character flaw to vilify you in court.

Take it from someone with grand jury experience: don't festoon your firearms with Punisher this or Molon Labe that.....

You must bs an ultra conservative, bible thumping, tea partying, gun nut.
Seriously though, as we have seen recently facts have little to due with liability in firesrms usage. Anything can be used by others or yourself to skew perception of the facts.

I have pondered having some scripture verses (Book, Chapter: Verse) engraved on the carrying handle just under the rear sight or on the back of the charging handle. Here are some of my thoughts:
Psalms 18:2 (pretty close to Saving Private Ryan)
Psalms 23:4 (Sounds too much like a cliche)
Psalms 27:2 (more to my liking)
Psalms 91:5 (I like this one too)
Psalms 91:7 (a little morbid)
Isaiah 43:2 (indirect, but comforting)
Ezekiel 25:17 (I know it sounds too much like Pulp Fiction)

Ted Kennedy's car has killed more people than my AR.
This again?
1st Statist: Look at this poll- It appears that there are many shooters that are afraid that if they engrave something silly on their weapon, it will weigh against them in court if used in self defense
2nd Statist: That's the problem- self defense is still legal. Most investigations never result in charges being filed. What's worse, many of these killers are protected from civil suits. We should do something
1st Statist: We should play on their fears. We'll suggest to the public that provocative engravings on evil black rifles are another warning sign the possessor is a terrorist
2nd Statist: Good idea- I'll hit that poll and feed their paranoia so they'll be afraid to ever make any kind of statement

I'd still rather not have a far reaching prosecutor dragging me over the coals for a "Suprise, Cock Fag!" dust cover.
So you're saying that in your opinion what matters in the level of uniqueness? So for example, the punisher logo or "molon labe", while arguably more menacing, would be less likely to land you in hot water because they are more common compared to something incredibly unique and seemingly harmless, should you manage to get yourself into an incredibly ironic situation? What if you have the arabic "infidel" on your rifle and someone of middle eastern descent attacks you, or you are attacked by a Muslim and happen to have a Bible verse on the weapon you used to defend yourself? Is that what you're getting at? I'm just trying to clarify...
