    Don’t know why you’re being downvoted. I agree with you, sure, it looks cool, but why?

    The chance for something bad to happen just increases with things like this. Accidental gun-related deaths are already a thing that happens too much.

      I modded my vehicle to look like a giant hotdog. Maybe I should think twice before I contribute to the obesity epidemic. I can’t help but feel partly responsible for causing people to over eat and kill themselves.

        Two very different things. Obviously cars kill many people every year, that’s not the intended purpose, and making one look like a hotdog won’t realistically increase the probability of a child seeing it, thinking it’s a toy, and hurting themselves or someone else.

        Guns are made to kill things, making an instrument of death look like a toy can definitely increase the probability of a bad outcome.
