Bad and dangerous design. There's a reason they put orange tips on toy guns, no reason guns should be made to look like a toy when kids are shooting themselves and others accidentally due to poorly secured firearms.

I get the appeal, I had a CZ PCR done up to look like a old school Nintendo Zapper, loved it, it looked like a toy gun, my 7 year old son liked it and shot it a bunch and then I sold it to a OSU Beavers fan who just loved it cause it was orange.

With all the proper training, it'll be fine, but I am sure its trademark related thing that happened with this Block 19 and the fact that you can add real legos to it is still pretty cool. Culper made the right decision to stop, since I am sure Lego money is way more than Culper can ever make in their lifetime, probably never make in 100 lifetimes.

Maybe a cease and desist order should be sent to Lego as their lil devil blocks have hurt more than one adult in the middle of the night on bathroom trips.......... I would have told them to take a hike but I guess only selling 20 of them wasnt worth the hassle to them. The little mommy gun haters at work again.

Maybe just stay with the cerakote stuff........

Oh c'mon LEGO! Kids in south Chicago need something to play with! And the square bullet holes will be easy to trace.

Might not be a great idea, not my thing, but when companies "demand", it makes me want to tell said companies to get effed.

This has to be one of the dumbest ideas that a firearms company has come up with... The liability on that design would be massive I would imagine.

LEO doesn't fire because it's a "toy" gun and ends up getting killed in the line of duty because they thought it was a "toy" gun.

If I were a lawyer, I'd take that case in a hot minute and bet that I could retire just a day or two after the case was over and verdict confirmed.

No doubt. I'd tell them to ESAD.

Something to consider with guns done up like the one's pictured is...

That most of the members on the forum , would still see the gun under all the eye candy.....Many others , if not most non gun owners...would probably not see it as firearm.

All that eye candy , so to speak is a mistake waiting to happen...in my opinion.

With all that said...do we need a law against it...No
Nor am I saying that you shouldn't do that , to your firearm...
I am saying that its not for me at all...and that others may easily mistake what it is , that they are looking at.

A demand is a nice way of saying stop infringing on our intellectual property or we're gonna sue your bubblegum into poverty.

Nonsense. It doesn't say Lego anywhere on it. There is probably proprietary spacing that distinguishes Lego brand from other block brands. Unless one of those things were copied, they have zero standing.

I didn't notice it was him... probably because it's not a Smith & Wesson.
