The manufacturer of a highly controversial Lego-inspired gun mod kit that encases Glock handguns has spoken out in defense of the company's decision to create a custom handgun built with Legos.
Following the backlash, Culper Precision on Wednesday said it designed the handgun in the spirit of "freedom, fun, and responsible gun ownership."
"We just want to extend a huge [kiss emoji] to all the Block 19 haters out there," the company wrote in the Wednesday post. "We have decided to take down the product after some communication with Lego. What does have us deeply concerned is the number of people who evidently grant their children unsupervised access to firearms. All of this was about the process of freedom, fun, and responsible gun ownership. Yet there are millions of angry, freedom-hating people out there who wish to exercise their First Amendment rights. Thank you for your comments and responses, we've seen a lot of good and a lot of bad."
Are people overreacting to the Block 19? Rod would like to know what you think.
