Not making any moral judgements here,
but I guess you should remember that Lego are Danish, not American.
Europeans dont tend to have the same views on guns as Americans.
Guns are much more frowned upon by society on the whole, and I this seems
common across Europe.
So dont expect Lego to make blasters just cause you think its all right in the
US.
I agree though, that it is hypocritical to make guns of one epoch and not of
another. And if the guns are meant to represent something that is clearly
fictional anyway, as in SW, then what epoch is that meant to reflect anyway?
