People Think the LEGO Gun Block 19 Is Not Cool
When it comes to LEGO, collaborations with other brands do not come as a surprise anymore. Usually, we are quite happy to welcome the juxtaposition of our favorite brands and our beloved bricks. This time, however, the LEGO gun Block 19 is stirring up the hornet’s nest.
Recently making the news and social media rounds, the LEGO gun Block 19 is proving divisive.
Designed and manufactured by Utah-based Culper Precision, the firearm caught the eye of the Danish company, which has since then taken action. The pistol was shared on Instagram (and on Culper Precision’s website), but the latter has been taken down.

The social media post garnered over 2,000 likes, but comments went both ways…
luka_boo_ Except when you step on this lego, you actually diealex42177 I want this now!You people are brian dead.
Though we believe that last one meant to say “BRAIN”.
The manufacturer has also released a statement following the uproar.
We here at Culper Precision are grateful for the attention that Block19 is currently getting across the globe. We built Block19 to create an opportunity to talk about the enjoyment of the shooting sports and the joy that can only be found in marksmanship practice and training. While the 2nd Amendment is foundationally important to the freedoms that we enjoy in the United States of America as a check on the power that We the People grant our elected officials and as a tool to make the weak strong in the face of those who would oppress and maim, we also recognize and built this to highlight the pure enjoyment of the shooting sports as we feel that like us, our customers truly deeply love the shooting sports and the inherent fun, satisfaction and joy that comes from participation in them.
How about you? What are your thoughts on this LEGO gun?
