I guarantee the "armchair commandos" do in fact believe in zombies and irresponsibly own and operate guns all because of this.
WOW. I can't help but ask can you define "armchair commandos"?

I have played the game....enjoyed the game....Heck i have played Grand Theft Auto also. I have never had the resist the urge to steal a car....kill a streetwalker......blow up a boat....steal a tank....wage war with a mafia boss... So i think its safe to say i wont go on a zombie killing rampage.. Now i would really like to hear the definition of armchair commando. I also own several guns because of a "cool factor." I just hope i am not deemed unfit to own firearms because of playing a video game.

I guess these might be too much for some people to stand huh?

"It's all in good fun. I liked zombie movies before the current craze. I do agree selling a gun because it's a good zombie killer is just stupid. "

^ This about sums it up for me. I also enjoyed 'Jurassic Park' but don't feel the need to prep for a T-Rex attack (.50bmg is too much $$ anyway)
While it's clear (to me) the Zombie thing overdone, it's not in my top 216 of things to worry about related to guns or 2A rights. Reminds me of that Seinfeld bit about the Detergent ad that bragged how well it removed blood stains- 'if blood stains are a recurrent problem, maybe you've got bigger issues then laundry'.

Video games protray guns and violence in a romanticized and unrealistic fashion. Whether not not this causes people to go do things is beyong the scope of what I am saying.
What I am saying is for gun retailers to attach themselves to video games, now that crosses a line. Zombies, zombie ammo, whats next? A Playstation 3 Ar-15?
I just dont want to see firearms retailers "toy up" guns to further feed into the ways video games portray weapons.
Armchair commando: Someone who plays modern warefare 3 all day, and thinks he/she knows all about guns and can do those things in the video game for real life, and probably has never touched a gun thank God. Start selling Modern Warefare 3 ar-15s and we might have a problem.
