the X engineer responsible for the change ... stated that this design is "not the final design (going to make it look more badass)"

incidentally this engineer is a fascist weeb who complains about gay characters in TV shows and bragged about getting trans flags removed from a grocery store by leaving a negative google review

Wrong reasons but right decision regardless. Changing to a water pistol does nothing against gun violence and a gun is a pretty common and universal symbol that should be represented among a collection of symbols covering, well, common items you might want to symbolise. In any case, arm the proletariat etc etc

We have several different types of hospitals, but not genitals. It's not made to be common items you may want to symbolise. Anyway, arm the proletariat and so fourth
