Have you heard of the latest trend in the handgun market? It's the gun shaped to look just like a smartphone. I can hear the pitch: "Folks, you won't have to wait much longer for this deadly cutie."
Such a gun opens up a whole new world of self-defense possibilities. How about glam guns? Can I personalize my smartphone gun with a pink, glittery cover that showcases my fashion sense? Can I add a ring-tone? I don't know about you, but I really want my gun to match my shoes.
The maker of the smartphone gun defends his design, saying it's more inconspicuous and less likely to end up in the wrong hands. Fiction can be fun, but the reality is any gun can end up in the wrong hands eventually. |

Yes, guns do end up in the wrong hands, since they keep releasing violent cons instead of making them serve the full sentance. Reinstate 3 strikes you are out for violent offenders. |

QUOTES
TO REMEMBER |
"And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
