A US gun maker sparks controversy by selling a kit that makes a real Glock pistol look like a children's Lego toy gun.

A US gun maker has caused controversy by selling a kit that makes a real Glock pistol look like a children's Lego toy.The pistol covering was described as a "childhood dream come to life" in an advertisement

"Our organisation reached out to Lego, which then sent a cease and desist letter to the reckless gun maker," said Shannon Watts, founder of the group Moms Demand Action, which advocates for stricter gun controls.The gun maker had been marketing it as a "Block19", selling for between $US549 and $US765.

Ms Watts, who stressed that "unintentional shootings have risen by 30 per cent in the past year," told the Washington Post her first reaction upon seeing the gun was that it was "sick and children would die". Last year, 142 people died as a result of accidental shootings by children or minors, the same group said.

How utterly irresponsible of this company to contemplate creating such a device. Next will be guns disguised as baby dummies
