X-Post from GCRA: "Naaa, they're not marketing to kids . . ." [View all]
Now this is an incredibly misleading post and I have not researched whether or not there was any controller outrage regarding this issue, but for the sake of discussion I will assume control minded folks expressed some degree of butthurt somewhere. They always do.
So, a small gun shop builds a one of a kind custom Glock "Nintendo Zapper" for a friend of the shop's owner. The shop made a Facebook post about the custom job and the rest is history. Controllers tried to spin it like the gun industry is purposefully producing Nintendo lookalike pistols. LOL
You can't make this stuff up. Such desperation.

Here is a better article that provides a quote from the gun shop:
In light of the “Nintendo Glock” drama, we feel that the media and our fans need to know that this firearm will not be mass produced nor will it ever be. This is a one off custom build for a friend of ours. Do to the thousands of emails and messages we have received in the past 2 days we have been unable to contact everyone in a timely manner, please be patient we will get to you as soon as possible. Thank you all for your support! Oh, and please.. keep your guns locked up and away from children, it’s common sense.
