The fact that Lego is suing makes sense, but saying "you shouldn't do that" implies that the owner would be so stupid as to keep it out in the open where anyone would see it and grab it. It's a firearm, right? In the safe it goes. Out of sight out of mind. I would get one out on request from my kids to kill the curiousity. Any time they ask. And take them shooting it, too. But tol eave it out, LOADED, seems to be highly accusatory and downright mean implying an owner would be so derelict he was stupid.
Yet saying only stupid gun owners would do that goes to what kind of guns DO children get their hands on and pull the trigger? Normal ones left out by normal owners. So we have normal posters pointing a finger, yet collectively gun owners have the others pointing back, the real culprits who stupidly leave out loaded firearms for kids to play with.
When was the last death recorded for a Lego gun? Not at all. Last death with a real gun? Wait a few minutes . . . sadly, the gun owning public will do it again, and again . . . every 2 hours and 34 minutes according to some pushing their agenda.
NORMAL guns kill kids, abnormal looking guns get locked up. We don't want their little fingers all over them. I see this as the same argument I was faced with in the 1970s, folks then claimed "you don't need a weapon of war with large magazine to go hunting" and I was carrying a semi auto with blocked ten round mag, my elders were carrying 1) A Garand 2) Springfield 03 3) Mauser 98k 4) SKS 5) M1A 6) M1 Carbine (with armor piercing) 7) Arisaka 8) Mosin Nagants, 9) Carcano, 10) Lee Enfield etc etc. The sporter bolt guns were Mauser action. It wasn't the WWII generation bleating about weapons of war not being suitable, it was others making it seem as if they were. "Fudds" not liking them?
In reality, older gun buffs sought out military weapons as they were highly affordable and the owners could modify them inexpensively - same as hot rods. In those days, we mechanically "hacked" a lot of things, it was the language of men to understand metals and working relationships. Now? Ask a millenial how to convert a 05 F150 from 2WD to 4WD and you get "sell it and buy what you need old man we don't know how to really do it." Yet some of those same youngsters point fingers and complain about "old fudds" while trying to understand their Iphone and what it does.
What we miss is that there are some who deliberately create misunderstanding to use it against both sides and they will stoop to nothing to create division and hatred. It's a method to keep us in disunity and from exercising our real strength againt THEM. When you start looking for that, you begin to see it being used in a lot of other areas of our life, and how they benefit from us being at war with each other rather than targeting them for their evil deeds.
And it is very much happening right now, exposed in sources other than the 6:00 news who is their main ally in disseminating their lies.
