Quote: A US gun company is facing a backlash for producing a pistol that looks like a children's toy made of Lego. Culper Precision said its customised Glock weapon, named Block19, was developed to "highlight the pure enjoyment of the shooting sports". https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57832053  I like it.  _________________ ‘What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits’ |

Who here thought you couldn’t make a Glock any uglier?

I'm going to be the odd man out here, and say that I think this is even stupider than people painting the muzzles orange to look like toy guns. Maybe you some of you didn't know that's a thing some stupid people do, but then, you wouldn't think this abortion above would be a thing either.

If it looked like a dildo someone would be pissing and moaning about it simply because they have nothing better to do.

Well, as the saying goes...opinions are like assholes; everyone has one, and they all stink. It combines my 2 all-time favorite toys, so naturally I think it's awesome. And anything that pisses off Shannon Watts is a win in my book. |

I enjoy shooting them, and developing skill to shoot them well, but they are not toys. Making a weapon look like a toy is beyond stupid in my opinion. |

Ok then how do you feel about making toys look like real guns?  _________________ ‘What’s the point of being a citizen if an illegal gets all the benefits’ |
