The problem for gun-toting game critics comes when they reach level 30 and get a free content update for the game. According to SimpsonsWiki.net, level 30 is at present the highest level players can reach.

At level 30, a storyline involving Herman's Military Antiques store evolves that contains some fairly clear commentary on gun laws in the U.S. and takes some cheap shots at the organization.

SimpsonsWiki.net pulled some quotes from the level that has the NRA gunning for the game.

'You’re the perfect gun owner! Step inside!' says Herman to Grandpa Simpson who has just told him how poor his vision and aim are, and how he often mistakes loved ones for intruders.

'Hey, Milhouse, want to go check out the new gun shop in town?' Bart asks Milhouse

'Of course! After all, the NRA says it’s the safest place for kids,' Milhouse replies.

'They also say us kids should sleep under a blanket made of loaded guns. You know - for safety,' Bart says.

'I eat my cereal every morning with a gun instead of a spoon. Because more guns everywhere means safer kids. Thanks, NRA!' says Milhouse.

Police Chief Wiggum: 'I’d like to purchase this AK-47, please. Will you need to run a background check on me?'

Herman: 'Of course not. That would infringe on your Constitutional right to never be inconvenienced - even in the tiniest, most reasonable way - when guns are involved.'

Wiggum to Apu: 'You do realize it’s now illegal to operate a store that doesn’t sell firearms? It’s all part of the “How Else May We Serve, Oh Wise and Powerful NRA?” Act. You’re going to jail!'
