Talk about bad ideas...and irresponsibility

The only rational fear of guns that look like toys that I can see and even agree with is that if they were to become prolific, kids could get shot because someone, possibly a cop thinks they are pointing guns at them when in reality they are pointing a Nerf gun at them.
Bob, didn't that happen a couple yrs ago when some LEO's were called on and drove up on a young black kid at a park playing/displaying what appeared to be a dark/black semi-auto? IIRC he was either 11 or 14 yrs old. Seems like I remember a big story about that one. Granted that's not an example of "prolific", but that kind of situation has to be hard on both sides ...... the LEO involved in the shooting and the kid's family who thought him safe playing at the park.

I also seem to remember a story about a 'gangsta' actually painting, orange barrel and all, then hiding his everyday gun in his kid's toy box.

I remember as a kid having a double holster set of "Roy Rogers" 6 shooters that fired caps and actually shot small plastic projectiles that we could reload. Never in a million yrs would have expected someone to mistake them for real. But today so many can't even recognize real from play guns due either to ignorance of the item or the fact that so many are so much more realistic today. Either way it's a bad deal!!!

Remember many of those as a younger kid. Used to be many types of capguns that took roll caps, stickyback caps, tear off squareback caps and some others. Haven't seen any in years....but haven't looked too hard either. Projectiles? There were a few had seen over the years from BB's to 2 piece to small darts. Roy Rogers? Yup, watched his shows many times. Sometimes still on reruns. Was sad, heard his museum closed not too long ago.

"Either way it's a bad deal!!! " - With all the anti gun commotion going on, maybe the Brit's really are thinking of coming back again? - Just this time trying to sneak in the back door? :)

Back door, rooftop, same deal?
Is new age too, things have changed a little over the centuries. Brit's finally got the one by now of one if by land, two if by sea thing, so they flew in trying to surprise us by skirting it by one more option? Guessing we may need to add a third light now? - Gotta give the darned pesky Redcoats some credit for trying though?

And, only the Brit's warped humor could come up with flying green camo Santa's?
Guessing sometimes, green is the new red for them? :)

Legos patents expired, just change the name to Building Block Glock. Anyone can now make building blocks to the same specs as the originals.
It’s not the patent, it’s an image thing and Lego fights arduously to keep it clean. All those other blocks, what’s the first name that falls off people’s tongue? Lego. Lockheed Martin offered to provide all the data Lego needed to create a Technix F-35 and Lego didn’t just say no, they said hell no. They didn’t have a problem doing a Porsche GT3 though. (Probably just trying to keep the Germans sweet in case they go an an invading streak again!)

It does not matter Lego no longer has the patent and anyone can make blocks that are the exact specs as real deal legos. That’s why generic toy companies all make bricks that now work perfectly with Lego brand. Once Trademark and Patents expire it’s common use domain now. Exact same thing as a 1911 anyone can make one. That’s why Lego updated new construction type bricks and special bricks those are still under patent. Building bricks are made by every toy company under the sun. Lego can fight but they would ultimately loose, the coaster does not have the resources to fight back and tell them to shove it. As long as he does not call it the ”Lego” gun everything else is free. Plenty of companies make building brick weapons Kits Brickmania is just one. Nothing Lego can do.
