Even by gun nut standards, this seems like a new low

Culper Precision is a firearms company based in Utah that customizes, builds, and modifies guns and gun accessories. Even by gun nut standards, there's plenty of gun nuttery going on at Culper. 

They really do like their guns, and see the Second Amendment a "foundationally important to the freedoms that we enjoy." They view 2A:

...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.

Hmm. God knows, there are plenty of elected officials whose power should be checked, but if I were an average, sensible-gun-law sort of elected official, I might be a tad bit concerned about folks who think of guns as a check on my power. And as a civilian, I'm a bit nervous, too. No, I don't want to maim anyone - that seems more a gun toter sort of thang - but there might be some wannabe gun slinger out there who could be thinking that I want to oppress them by imposing oppressive rules pertaining to gun registration, and by supporting limits on the ownership of military grade weaponry. Sheesh. 

But, hey, it looks like Culper is mostly about the joy, in "inherent fun" of shooting sports.

Oh, I assume there is plenty o' fun involved in shooting sports. Not my jam, but if you want to hang out in a gun range, head out to the dump to kill rats, or even put a bullet in the head of a deer you're going to eat, have at it. 

For Culper, part of the joy is personalizing your weaponry. And to this end, they recently introduced something called Block 19, a $600 kit that lets Glock owners embed their guns in Legos. 

This product, which Culper calls a "fun and safe queen" - which is either a wordo or something that makes absolutely no sense to me - may all be part and parcel of inherent fun. But to me it looks more like something that makes a gun look like a toy and, thus, might be attractive to the sorts of people who play with toys. I.e., children. It also might be something that a good guy, with or without a gun, could mistake for a toy - and end up dead because of it. 

That's not how Culper sees things:

Rather than live in fear of the loud voices on social media we decided to release Block19 in an attempt to communicate that it is ok to own a gun and not wear tactical pants every day and that owning and shooting firearms responsibly is a really enjoyable activity.

Seems to me that wearing tactical pants (or not) is quite a distance from toy-ifying a gun.

They also see Block 19 as enforcing their commitment to an "inclusion mindset," in which guns:

...double not only as ‘The Great Equalizer’ but also hopefully soon the great unifier.

The "great unifier"? Wow. Just wow. 

The only thing unifying about U.S. gun ownership - I believe we're the only country that has more guns that people - is that pretty much every other country on earth is unified in their belief that, when it comes to guns, the U.S. is nuts. 

Unifying? In Culper's dreams.

And here's what else is in their dreams:

 “Here’s one of those childhood dreams coming to life, the Block19 prototype, yes you can actually build Legos onto it,” the company announced on its Instagram page. “We superglued it all together and surprisingly it survived a little over 1,500 rounds in full auto at Shootah this past weekend.” (Source: NY Post)

Culper only sold a few Block 19 kits before - pushed by the pushback they were getting on social and other media, and a cease and desist order from Lego - the company removed the Block 19 from the market. In the process, they decided to exercise their First Amendment rights by taking a parting shot:

...this is our small attempt to that end, making the 2nd amendment too painful to tread on…

I don't know about you, but I don't think that turning a gun into something that looks like a toy is going to make "the 2nd amendment too painful to tread on..." Au contraire, what it pretty much does is underscore just how painful the Second Amendment is, and just how much treading on the rest of us it manages to do.
