...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"?

This really surprises me. Lego is one of the most PC corporations I’ve ever run across. Wouldn’t be surprised if they take the product/products off the market immediately, if not going the extra mile to build a time machine to go back and eliminate the person who had the idea to market the gun/guns in the first place.

I’m an AFOL (Adult Friend of Lego). Because of the paucity of weapons, some AFOLers have taken to actually casting their own plastic weapons. I’ve got a few special-built ones (actually my son does, he got if from someone in my AFOL club).

Lego has a large and growing adult fan base, that do a lot of very adult things with their Legos , including some very realistic modern warfare layouts with tanks, planes, guns, the works. I’ve seen some excellent renditions of weaponry.

The demonizing of guns by liberals is just part of the overall scheme by socialists and communists to convert the United States to a socialist state. Start young and indoctrinate.
We taught our kids to shoot when they were pre-teens. Even before that we gave my oldest daughter the means to protect herself by sending her to self defence school at the age of 8. This was in response to her getting beat up every few weeks by a gang of boys all 4 years older than her. When she finally beat the crap out of the 3 boys that had tormented her for so long, we got called into her school to answer for why she was taking karate lessons. We explained the problem, the school was unhappy and we told them it was none of their business. My daughter is now grown up and has continued karate and kung fu training for the past 28 years. This past Christmas while gift shopping, some fool tried to mug her. He will not be doing that again.
Yes she did play with Legos. Every kid loves Legos, but we did not raise our kids to be victims.

I had tons of Legos that had Swords and stuff.
I used to get some great Viking sets in Sweden.
