Lego Glock. A neat piece of art.
Did a "Lego" search. Didn't find anything.

"Furor" aside, I think it's a fantastic art project.

I'll link to the article. But it's standard WaPo claptrap.

‘SUPER FUN’: A gun covered in Legos to look like a toy sets off a furor

Link to the story about the request to stop production:

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

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news...cid=msedgdhp&pc=U531

After receiving a request from Lego, a Utah-based gun manufacturer has stopped producing a pistol designed to look like it is covered in the iconic Lego bricks.

“We have contacted the company and they have agreed to remove the product from their website and not make or sell anything like this in the future,” Lego said in a statement on Wednesday.

The gun company, Culper Precision had advertised the pistol in question as a Block 19, designed “to create an opportunity to talk about the enjoyment of shooting sports and the joy that can only be found in marksmanship practice and training,” according to a company Instagram post.

Lego asked the gun company to stop making the firearm.

“We here at Culper Precision are grateful for the attention that Block 19 is currently getting across the globe,” they added. The post also mentioned that a responsible gun owner must take appropriate measures in order to properly secure their firearms.

While the Instagram post about the Block 19 remains up, the product page on the company’s website was taken down, according to ABC News.

“We have already seen tragedies happen when unsecured firearms are around children and they don’t look like toys,” said Shannon Watts, founder of the Moms Demand Action gun-control group. She went on to call the pistol “a recipe for disaster.”

Making a real gun look like a toy is infantile and generally a horrible idea.

Not something you'd want to carry, but would be a wonderful, fun match gun.
