What's whether he's selling it or not got to do with it?  He's modified a 
lethal weapon deliberately to make it look like a child's toy, and what's 
worse he has advertised it to the world and seems to be encouraging others 
to do the same.  To assume that a child never gets sight of this gun, or any 
one of the number of copies he has influenced, seems a little naive. 
People, even gun owners, are only human, mistakes do get made, which is why 
we have thing in place to reduce the risks when mistakes get made - painting 
a gun like a child's toy just seems to be increasing the risk to me.
