You could argue she could kill (has killed?) a lot less people with a gun than she has with her blackberry.

I think I recall reading about that one a decade ago.

No kidding. Who needs a gun when you can use your influence to drop bombs.

Ah - that little guy is amazingly neat. And IIRC that was a Magpul prototype they were goofing around with.
They based it on the Russian PP-90 and the ARES FMG, though this one was built on the Glock.
As for the smart phone gun⊠eh⊠no. If I wanted to carry a gun, it wouldnât be a .380 derringer.
Though I donât see how this will affect anything in the field. Police already mistake all sorts of small black things for guns. You can pull a concealed gun with 15+ rounds in it faster than you could deploy that thing. This is a novelty that I doubt will succeed.

Haha. Bravo.
I have a reproduction of the Gen 1 Megatron.
California, as usual, has their own much more restrictive laws.
Federally, the law on this is straightforward â If the firearm needs to be opened/folded/etc into a more-or-less gun shape, then there is no restriction under Federal law⊠A firearm which still looks like a non-gun when it is ready to fire is restricted, requires registration and a one-time âAny Other Weaponâ $5 tax stamp (This is one of the few cases where US law requires firearm registration).
The most common examples in both classes would be the âpen gunâ.

This is hardly a new thing.
Fifty years ago a kid at school had a radio that unfolded to be a gun. Mattel made it. I think thy also made a camera that turned into a pistol.
Of course it was prime time for that sort of thing. I had âSecret Samâ, an attache case that could shoot plastic bullets, open it up and pull out the toy pistol that could be turned into a rifle by adding the barrel and stock.

I know nothing about guns - but it looks like it would take to long to get ready to use. Lord knows where it would end up in a purse. And Iâd expect the clasp to get stuck when you tried to open it.

What turns you on?
Suspicious about the reporting⊠because you donât think the gun actually exists? Or because⊠why? Would you be less âsuspiciousâ if it were reported like âcool techâ?
Right now, if a cop shoots someone saying âI thought they had a gun,â but they had a cellphone, the cops may be considered in the wrong and the family can sue. No more.
That which in any given situation constitutes the opposite of violence.

That was exactly the image that popped into my mind, very iconic.
