I haven't heard or seen any evidence of this and don't tend to take people's word for things.
ESP when it sounds like a liberal scheme to connect the gun community to racism.
Not saying it's untrue, but I would need to see further evidence to contradict the most logical conclusion based on timing the gives strong support that the move came from young people watching people running around with guns fighting hoards of the undead. It looked cool, the good guys are being uber tactical, and they are using guns you can buy at Walmart, the movies were blockbuster hits, TV shows pulling huge ratings, it's everything you need for a great marketing campaign.
