More Idiocy From Gun Nuts - Gun That Looks Like Smartphone

 
 
 
This is beyond a doubt the stupidest product I have ever heard of.

In the first place, it's a shitty gun; short-bareled, hard to hold, hard to aim, only two shots, no sights.

In the second place, folded up it's not immediately obvious that it IS a gun, which means it's far more likely to be picked up and mishandled by other (e.g. children, friends, random person who finds it in the street when it falls out of your pocket) who might otherwise be weary and/or cautious around firearms. More importantly, it's designed to resemble the one thing in the universe that NOBODY ever assumes is dangerous.

I mean, it's like something out of fucking Saturday Night Live. This is the gun invented by the same genius who developed the anti-mugger purse: looks like a purse, but is actually a beartrap.
 
Agreed. The guy had a moment of clarity and saw a "great" idea. Other people would then have immediately noted the flaws with this "great" idea and discarded it. This guy just stopped thinking.
 
Add another strike to the "bad idea" category: the gun is useless for self defense, EXTREMELY accident prone, and is probably only really useful in a crime.

Yup, and I'm pretty sure it would be a NFA item--many years in the pokey for having one without the proper permits.
 
Back when guns first became popular, the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire tried to ban them among the peasantry. The only noticeable effect his ban had was to make guns that could be concealed under cloaks.

Technology is beating regulation and regulators. People scoffed at the very first Makerbot firearms because they weren't very good. They were the first iteration of that technology after all, and the first iteration is always the best one, which is why technology went from semi-automatics to flint-lock rifles. The newer generations are better, and can even print metal.

Face it, victim disarmament is a lost cause.

Which now gives further excuse for police to shoot unarmed people when they see a cell phone.
 
For years now, holster manufacturers have been selling holsters designed to disguise small pistol as cell phones. Or wallets.

Google cell phone style gun holsters for info.

"Junior, answer the phone please."

"He had a smartphone. It could have been a gun."

Not real quotes.

Guns that look like phones, key chains, pens, umbrellas have been obtainable for several years.
My own weapon, a steel framed self defence weapon weighing about 2.5 kilos has not problem through customs and proved handy when attacked or simply threatened.
