yah, I would be one of those people.  I am also pro gun control, and yet I
believe that it's not guns who kill, it's people.  A gun can be used to
protect, and save lives.

Lego was to be meant as a toy, weapons are not.

so no more pirate ships, warships, any military models, wild west,
aquazone(/raiders, etc) classic space, star wars....  I'm sure there's more
"non-toy" themes, but I get tired of listing them.  Sure, go ahead and play
with LEGO however you like, but please, don't tell others how...  I think
some of the most amazing models I've seen lately were military ones,
doesn't mean I want to have a Tank in my garage?
