Yesterday I treated my granddaughter to a Happy Meal from McDonald's. Imagine my dismay when the toy for my young child was a gun!
Horrors! If that's not enough to soak the old knickers, I don't know what is.
In reality, I suspect this is either something the local manager did on his own without authorization--or perhaps even BS that the paper never checked out before printing. McDonald's is a politically correct corporation, and their current promotional toys are themed on "American Idol"--without a gun in the bunch.
