You have to put a orange tip on all toy guns in the USA to prove its a toy, people
have still been killed by law enforcement because of this.
I cannot imagine what's going to happen when a kid gets hold of this, and
they will.
The gun nuts are going to be buying this in droves and I wonder if the manufacture
was fully aware of this and planned to sell their initial run quick before the
cease and desist letter from TLG.

Lego already sent the cease and desist and the company already pulled the gun.

However, this really disturbed me. I have to wonder what braniac approved this
beauty into production, because it is a horrible idea. Every responsible gun
owner or advocate should be emphasizing that real guns are not toys, and they
should not be disguised as toys.
Also, it isn't even real Lego...
