However, Earl always said that Werewolf Alphas were especially nasty...

I probably need to lighten up a bit, but zombie killings were recently made even more popular by a video game called "black ops" in where there is a game where you kill zombies in masse.

So I feel that gun retailers, and now ammo manufacturers, are leveraging video games to sell things.  I have two problems with this:
1) Kids who dont need guns nor ammo will buy them for the "cool factor" of the delusional possibility of killing zombines
2) It feeds the anti gun media machine and gives them ammo to discredit the gun community.

I guarantee the "armchair commandos" do in fact believe in zombies and irresponsibly own and operate guns all because of this.

Its not good for any of us and while it is fun for people who are responsible, we all know its always a few who ruin for the rest.   And Zombie ammo is going to attract those few.

Personally I find it fun to shoot zombie targes and would love a box of zombie ammo.  But because of the risk of associating self defense firearms with video games from the realworld firearms perspective,  I chose not to do it.

Shooting shadows of people I feel is ok as it does not give "eye candy" akin to video games.

Next thing you know they'll be selling a "quake ar-15" or "Modern Warfare ak-47" with game logos on them.

Most of the antigun crowd that would see this as an issue, don't have creative enough mindset to dream this up. Why even write the article? Just feeds the problem.
I think the whole “Zombie” thing is a great marketing strategy.  Why not pull a profit from a fad in the market.
If purchasing Zombie or/and using Zombie products makes you unstable. You were not stable in the first place. And most likely you can’t purchase the products legally anyway.

Husker_Fan:
Why write the article?  For marketing, of course.  I think the author writes some really good stuff, but this one is a bit out there.

It's as logical as a prosecutor asking why a defendant was a member of something called the Armed Citizens' Legal Defense Network?  Why would you join something like that unless you were planning on killing someone?
