I wasn't trying to start a debate, I was only pointing out that Todd makes figures with trigger hands so we can at least give them pistols if we choose to, finger-pointers for solid trolling. In this culture and this age, I think we can agree that in the mind of a kid a weapon is a weapon and they won't really care or know better, but real-life apples to apples and loose gun laws a knife is going to kill a lot less people than a semi-automatic. There's a reason you don't bring a knife to a gunfight.

Nooootttt always


But i do think its utter ricockulous that these media and toy and comic companies think that by not including fire arms with figs or neutering characters who are military and fire arms primary based ( like marvel turning the punisher in to texas cattle skull symbol baring super ninja who now refuses to use guns or some lame ass shit like that ) is ao ehow gonna make people think oh no guns rrreee baaddd mmmkkaayy.

Seriously if you kid is swayed to pick up a gun because a fucking toy has one you got way bigger things to worry about.
