I think this is totally irresponsible. Why copy a popular kids construction toy to make a real gun?

I know, I worded that wrong. The gun culture is much stronger in USA than it is here. I think you're almost expected to get a gun in America!

Oh does it manyalynne? Thanks. Links take ages loading on my phone so if the topic is clear from the op I tend to give them a miss.

Pleased to hear it anyway. I can’t see them getting away with it.

the difference here is when we were young we had toy guns that looked almost real, now we have real guns that look like toys. A recipe for disaster.

I would think that Lego's patent rights under PCT are pretty watertight when it comes to this Utah mob (I hope that Culpeper aren't Mormons - or is that Morons?). If it was a Chinese, Indian or South Korean one, I would get more worried.

Given the assumption that people make guns in order for other people to buy as many of them as possible, they clearly see this as simply another marketing opportunity.

The implications probably got brushed aside at the 'ideas' meeting where this nonsense was agreed in the first place.
