Danish toymaker Lego says it has asked a Utah-based gun company to stop producing a product that makes a pistol look like it is covered with the famous multi-coloured building brick.

COPENHAGEN, DENMARK -- Danish toymaker Lego said Wednesday it had asked a Utah-based gun company to stop producing a product that makes a pistol look like it is covered with the famous multi-coloured building brick.

The design creates a customized semi-automatic Glock weapon that has a strong resemblance to a Lego toy. "We here at Culper Precision are grateful for the attention that Block19 is currently getting across the globe," they said. They also insisted people have the right to customize their property, but also noted that responsible gun owners take measures to secure their firearms.

Shannon Watts, founder of the gun-control group Moms Demand Action, drew attention to the product on Twitter last week, and on Wednesday called the it "a recipe for disaster."

Britain to ask tech companies for details of those who abused playersBritish officials asking tech companies to provide details of those who made racially abusive comments to English soccer players “We want real-life consequences for the people who are tweeting this abuse” Commies gonna commie. Anyone who makes racist remarks on any public forum, should be suspended on all platforms and have to take classes on why they are idiots and how to behave in public. Oh, this is rich. Everyone has been critical of big tech and their attempts to censor people’s comments. Now you want them to identify users that the government doesn’t agree with. Sounds like Britain agrees with Big Tech control over everything.
