shooting to incapacitate or disarm

Good one.

Well, shooting to kill serves that purpose.

“shooting to kill”.

Spell out the point you are trying to make here. What terminology would you have used?

PS: I notice you didn’t disagree with the actual concern I had with the lego gun.

There is no “shooting to kill” or “shooting to wound”, there is only “shooting”.

Anytime you pull a trigger there is only one intent.

I wouldn’t ever buy it, it’s ugly. In fact I wouldn’t even touch it it’s so ugly.

Banning things is bad business.

Good post.

Guns and toys don’t mix.

A bad idea.

LEGO won’t like it and will file suit.

Nonsense. Toy guns were never a problem until libs started to confuse guns with criminals.

Munimula1:

It is a gun.

Ok then, problem solved.

So then it is a dumb gun.

All guns are dumb. In fact, no gun can think or act on its own. If you wish to use that adjective in connection to this gun, apply it to the gun maker.

WuWei:

You don’t like the way it looks and want to ban it?

I suspect that that may have been the motive of the manufacturer … to demonstrate that some people will want to ban it for no other reason than for how it looks.

WuWei:

No, it’s ugly. I don’t own ugly guns.

No Glocks?

That helps emphasize what a poor design this is…even if it is only a special order for a few dozen LEGO enthusiasts.

LEGO will not like this.

I wonder if Lego blocks will attach to it …

Ya I think this one is sketchy personally, why invite the attention.

Well, it does epitomize the folly of the desire of many libs to ban ARs because of their appearance. (Scary black guns that look like weapons of war.) That may justify the attention.

Toys that resemble guns are fine.

Making an actual firearm toy like is what I am uncomfortable with.

CanadianJudo · 2021-07-15T08:15:05.507Z

I doubt anyone who collect LEGO would buy this.

Lego asks U.S. gun manufacturer to stop making its guns to look like its iconic bricks (msn.com)

Camp · 2021-07-15T09:46:04.372Z

I don’t think they will simply ask again.

This gun should be illegal due to it imitating a toy gun. That alone makes it much too dangerous, especially for law enforcement.

TommyLucchese · 2021-07-15T14:46:00.208Z

Good thing no one saying this is fine defended a cop murdering a twelve year old because he had a toy gun.

Rurudyne · 2021-07-15T14:47:22.050Z

Finally, a gun unsafe to step on!

If we could go back in time to when Brown was killed, Tamir’s death happened a couple months after that. The whole world defended Brown while Tamir’s killing hardly made a ripple. I posted the video of it when it happened stating how this was definitely a bad shoot and the officers should be prosecuted.
