WASHINGTON: A US gun maker has triggered controversy by selling a kit that makes a real Glock pistol look like a children's Lego toy gun, at a time when hundreds of kids are falling victim to shootings. The colourful brick design gives the semi-automatic weapon a strong resemblance to a Lego toy. The gun maker was marketing it as a Block19, which sold for between US$549 and US$765. The Danish manufacturer of the building blocks has sent the Utah-based company, Culper Precision, a demand to stop producing the red, blue and yellow covering for handguns. "Our organisation reached out to Lego, which then sent a cease and desist letter to the reckless gun maker," said Shannon Watts, founder of the group Moms Demand Action, which advocates for stricter gun controls. Watts, who stressed that "unintentional shootings have risen by 30 per cent in the past year", told the Washington Post her first reaction upon seeing the gun was that it was "sick and children would die". She said that in 2021 there had been more than 165 accidental shootings by children in the US, according to the organisation Everytown. Last year, 142 people died as a result of accidental discharges by children or minors, the same group said.

Macrosszero Turbocharged July 14, 2021 Share July 14, 2021 The kind of thinking that goes behind, yes, it’s a great idea to make a lethal handgun look more like a toy - is just mind blowing. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first glance without reading the news I thought this was the controversy was on how Lego made their toy gun to look like a real gun. 100% no for sure. Too dangerous. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main difference is that lego looking gun can kill but not real looking lego gun. At most some over the counter might be fooled and handed over the cash.🤠2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not even Lego; it's just building blocks. The finished product is not to scale anyway, so won't be confused for anything other than a toy.
