...its Star Wars Stormtroopers now carry guns so large they can hardly hold them, despite the previous ones having nothing more alarming than a torch...

A torch? Isn't that limey for "flashlight"?

Oh give me a frickin’ break.

It could be worse...

I say buy more lego sets that have guns! Demand rules!

My Planet of the Apes action figures all carried machineguns. (Well, until my 7-year-old nephew was allowed to play with them when I wasn’t home . . . but that’s another story.)

I too am upset that there are such things as "toy" guns.

They all should be real. I got my first firearm for my 6th birthday.

I still miss the website, Leggo Death. It was taken off the net a couple of years ago. I was hoping it was archived somewhere.

All the PC parents would really blow a gasket if their kiddies used their Legos to build this: http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/custom-built-lego-machine-gun

“The philosophy of the company is very family friendly, non-violent, play.”

What a bunch of pantywaists. Jihadies killing innocent people by the bushel all over the world and these jokers are worried about a plastic gun on a microscopic action figure. Maybe someday we'll get our priorities in order.

I have to post again that today, this very day, my grandson and namesake was admonished by his daycare and made to turn his t-shirt inside out because it had the emblem of a popular band, Guns n Roses.

Apparently the very mention of the concept of "guns" is a terrible faux pas. The staff thought it was appropriate to humiliate my grandson by making him turn his shirt inside out to punish him for mentioning the word "guns".

What a bunch of pansie liberals is "nurturing" our children. They are teaching them that to resist or fight is horrible, unmentionable.

[CindyDawg]

I agree. I don’t want guns in them.

[HungarianGypsy]

Shh! My boys use duplos and legos to make guns.

Kids have been playing with play guns for hundreds of years and learned the difference between toys and guns. Now anti gun wackos want to confuse kids and cause a lot of accidents. We grew up learning right and wrong watching shoot-um-ups but I guess there was an American way that was different then. The bad guys used to loose, then.

My MIL drug out my husband's Lincoln Logs for our kids to play while they visited. The kids made rifles out of Lincoln Logs and duct tape.

Send 'em to me. My kids love them.

You have got to be kidding me. They are using now if their is any tobacco use in movies is a reason to rate it. What is going on in this country we rate movies if someone smokes a cigarette which last time I checked is legal.

At first, my folks were finicky about letting me get toy guns. Then Bravestarr came out (great underrated classic cartoon) and I would make a toy gun out of the big kiddy legos that came in the buckets.

Boys will be boys.

They’ve always had swords and ray guns and weapony looking things that look like blasters when put on a space ship.

Across the ocean, children are taught to throw rocks at tanks and resist and kill Americans. They are taught that it is a brave thing to wear the belt and kill themselves and infidels. When these children meet ours on tomorrows’ battlefield, who will have the advantage?

They’ll advance waving crayon pictures of guns on construction paper and our boys will scatter and call for help.
