My father until his death a member of a christian religion based organisation that is strictly pacifist.
My mother is still a member of that organisation. In my younger years, Action Man had become a staple of must have items for young boys of 5 or older. Around seven years of age I begged for an Action Man (mainly in the belief that I would get to see cock [would not want this to be not GAY related]) and finally I got an Action Man. The UN Peace Keeping Action Man, because yes there was such a model. No gripping hands, no eagle eyes and most importantly NO GUN! Because my parents did not want me to glamourize warfare. I never had a cap gun, I did not have Matchbox or Corgi toys that were military and I certainly was not allowed to join paramilitary organisations like the cubs or scouts.

I had Lego. Lego was my finest friend. With Lego you can build really cool guns and provide the soundtrack to those guns. What are the miserable Christians going to do - take away a child's Lego. Yeah take that parents and they have taken my metaphorical Lego guns for the last 35 years. fuck you.

I dunno. Maybe. Certainly made me angry.

Your parents must be appalled, now that you can get minifigures with guns.
Back in my day, we had to repurpose videocameras and loudhailers.

Back in my day minifigures didn't even have arms or legs or faces.

Their nature is to be appalled.

I was at junior school with a lad whose parents refused to let him have guns or other war toys

One day, the school threw out a load of broken chairs. With a howl of glee, the lad grabbed a broken chair-leg, and held it like a tommy gun while shouting "er-er-er-er-er-er!" in the traditional manner. Within seconds the whole school was following his leadership, his own personal machine-gun-wielding army.

Lego was a pacifist company
Until very recently (Harry Potter and Star Wars) Lego produced no weapons of any sort. There weren't even any green bricks because of their potential use to built camoulflaged/military structures or vehicles.
