The godfather II release is hilarious. What were they thinking??

Bonkers. The best I can imagine is that they may have thought something along the lines of "hey these are a cool thing to have lying around" and not "let's check the legal codes on mailing weapons." Similar to "this would be a cool game for our entire workforce to make" and not "are we in line with the moral and legal codes that protect employees?"

So truly american lol.. violence & weapons feel so unreal with how prevalent they are in media, especially to those so detached like the execs, that they don’t even consider potential ramifications! Its just “cool”…

Yes, executives don't really think about the ramifications of weapons. Meanwhile, organizations like this exist that literally turn swords into plowshares: https://rawtools.org/swords-to-plowshares/
