It's quite a deep rabbit hole, frankly, since LEGO is metaphorical by nature: it's a blocky model of something. In this case, the chain of metaphor is shorter than that of Star Wars, but I'm sure there are many with PTSD who cannot handle certain scenes in Star Wars given the analogs it may have to their past experiences in actual war.
In other words, one needs a more objective standard I think if such a policy is going to be seen as a moral value. It is not hard to imagine someone whose parents were killed in gun violence from having a visceral reaction, no different than the ones you mention, from watching a gunfighting scene in Star Wars, or seeing blaster battles played out on commercials for LEGO products.
