"A mother in Tennessee is claiming that her daughter fatally shot herself in the stomach with a handgun she mistakenly believed to a Wii controller. At least, that's her only explanation for what could have happened.

The gun was left lying around by the victim's stepfather, who claims he produced the .380 caliber pistol to deal with a potential prowler, then left it on a table and promptly forgot all about it. Even more astoundingly, the mother was in the same room as the three-year-old girl when she picked the gun up and managed to shoot herself with it. ."

This was reported by many gaming sites, but I'd say the case is really only about bad parenting, nothing to do with wii really, since we've had toy guns for many years already. Also the wiimote pheripheral was a cheap Chinenese product unlicensed for the US so a Nintendo sue seems impossible.

I don't get why you can get a weapon in the USA so easy, of course you can't blame nintendo or the child , It was the father who was stupid enough to put the gun in a place where her little daugher can find it

Their fault for having a gun around.

guns don't kill people, kids kill people

kids kill kids

wiimotes kill kids ( and LCDs )
