Seem to remember a mossberg 500 made to resemble a super soaker. To each there own.
I'm not going to pay to read the filth that is the WP. Are there any other sources to back that claim? I doubt it's veracity.from the article linked in post #6...
4th paragraph
''What’s not fun, and went unaddressed on the sales page, is the reality that thousands of children unintentionally shoot themselves or others each year because they find a gun and pull its trigger. Culper Precision’s customization arrived...''
I was completely unaware that, THOUSANDS of kids are involved in shootings every year?
I find it akin to insulting the engraving on someone’s shotgun… it isn’t your shotgun.
Is this the “Freedom means tolerating things you don’t like” thread, or the “Guns are only black scary tools, now get off my lawn” thread?
Just want to know if I should be lighting my hair on fire or just point out the other thread.
Stupid idea of the year
Responsible owners don’t let children have access to any gun, fancifully designed or otherwise.
How many humans are shot with non-personalized pistols a year? Enough that this is a not an issue big enough to waste bandwidth on.

Guns are not toys, period.
I think this may be the where the opinions split.Do gun owners have an obligation to be reasonably cautious and responsible - especially in regards to children? YES.
Is it responsible to make a Glock look like a Lego toy? In my opinion - No , it is quite irresponsible.
That’s fair.I would ask that anyone who is supportive of guns made to look like Lego toys , or any other kind of toy , run that concept through an honest , objective Risk/Reward evaluation.
Honest and completely objective.
Risk: same as any gun…
Applying objectivity to something as subjective as the appearance of an item will not lead to an objective evaluation. The only thing objective about this is that a firearm is a firearm. Appearance is only that: appearance. Appearance is what AWB’s were based on in the past. Scary looks. Kids pick up non LEGO appearing firearms as well. Kids are kids, and to many of them, a black or wood and blued firearm is just as cool looking, if not more so, than some LEGO gun.I would ask that anyone who is supportive of guns made to look like Lego toys , or any other kind of toy , run that concept through an honest , objective Risk/Reward evaluation.
Honest and completely objective.
That’s a fair point, their are no perfect people. But if someone practices responsibly, and or lives in a house with no small kids, which is the majority of people. Then the chances of it actually happening extremely slim.I disagree.
While we can all agree that it is of paramount importance that adults take measures to prevent children from having unsupervised access to firearms , mistakes and unexpected circumstances do occur. I do not mean to make light of that , I am just being realistic. Things happen.
Why roll out a welcome mat that says "Pick me up and play with me!" ?
Why?
The definition of a perfect world varies based upon opinion and priorities.In a perfect world few people would buy these, and the few that do would store them out of the reach of children.
In an imperfect world somebody will probably have to die and then a civil jury will make the company disappear.
