Just saw this about the Block19. Actually never saw it before this article.

Anything that makes liberals wet their pants is OK with me.

Yes

I can see the attraction of this uniqueness, and can also see the downsides.
Not quite sure if I want to use the word irresponsibility with this special class of item, but I'm not sure if I would flinch if this was pulled out.

Glock even put out a statement saying, this has nothing to do with us.
Wonder how good that texture pattern is....

If you have one ounce of doubt about this, you should change your user name. People will always do "stupid" things to "their property", and it's no one's business but theirs, until such time as it has a negative effect on your rights. I realize something like this irritates the anti gunners, and they lobby their legislators to diminish all our rights.

The tards are deceitful about what they really want. I don't believe the commie's really care one way or another about legos or the Block19.
The real issue is their goal - attacking the 2nd Amendment, removal or our rights nothing more. So they look for any and all excuse's to that end.

Someone is going to end up in court over this someday. If they sell enough, the laws of statistics will take over.

If you’re a parent of small children, why would you want this in your house?

So, you want a law to prevent this? If your children are ill prepared for any firearms, you should not have them, guns or children, period. If I want this in my house, then I should be able to get this for my house. Why is that a problem?

No, I don’t need a law to prevent me from doing or owning something. My children are prepared and well versed in firearms. I’m not infringing on your right to own anything. I’m fact, I think it is a cool idea. I’ve won Lego building contests as a kid. But do I want to own it? Not really. Enough idiots out there leave their guns unlocked and children shoot themselves all the time; imagine the draw that a gun made out of Legos would be? Almost irresistible to a child. Then the owner of the firearm will sue the manufacturer in a wrongful death suit saying that it was too appealing to children, they couldn’t help themselves, and shot themselves or a sibling. It’s going to happen. More ridiculous lawsuits have been filed for more ridiculous scenarios.

What is your point then??? Idiots will be idiots, and Darwin wins occasionally. There will be lawsuits regardless, or have you not noticed. An old friend of mine, now no longer, wants to sue Ruger because his dumbass, druggie son put a Ruger .45 to his head, after dropping the mag, and telling his friend, whose gun it was, that it would not fire without the mag. The result was predictable, BANG. Even after I explained to him that his son was at fault, he insisted it was Ruger's fault because the gun wasn't supposed to fire without a mag .

"BITS" -- Blood In The Streets. That is, has been, and always will be the argument for all restrictions of any kind on firearms. "If we allow people to have handguns/assault weapons/concealed weapons/open weapons/guns in schools/guns on airplanes/guns that look like Legos, then there will be Blood In The Streets!

Right now, it is cool to put orange tips on toy guns so that nobody mistakes them for real guns. Unsurprisingly, a California cop got a call about somebody in a public park with an AK47, and ended up shooting a 14-year-old with a toy gun from which he had removed the orange tip. To my surprise, criminals have not begun painting their Glock Fotays orange, to cause police to hesitate, making them easier to shoot. If I were a criminal, that's what I would do, but I am not a criminal.

If a person has children who can't be trusted, and does not want a Lego-looking gun, then he or she should not buy one. If a person wants any gun, of any description, then he or she should be trusted to buy it and be responsible with it.

Broke all the rules of gun safety. Received his prize for doing so. Then wants others to pay for their blatant stupidity.

That's pretty impressive and ballsy on his part to blame someone else for their actions.

Yep, I told him as much, in a very loud and obnoxious way no less. Needless to say, it's why I will never talk to him again. Sad thing is, he's a retired Marine, 23 years active duty, he knows better.

Even Fox News was hating on it about a week ago.
