I'm not even going to try to make this a politically correct blog today. I'm the one and only Quiet Mouse. Let's get this started.
This issue is just flat out insane. Some dipshit took the time, money, and effort to create a gun that, to all outward appearance, LOOKS like a cell phone. The handle flips down like the way a gun's grip would be, then you could shoot someone.
Here's the problem, well, several...
We already have a major issue in this nation with Judge Dredd, self-appointed police officers that want to take the law into their own hands as judge, jury, and executioner of law abiding citizens. In recent years the American police, across the nation, has become more militarized with tanks, bulletproof armor, and the SAME lethal assault weapons they seek to take away from Second Amendment upholding citizens. Thousands of citizens are gunned down in the streets, murdered by those who were sworn to SERVE AND PROTECT, NOT punish and enslave.
Now, lately, the likelihood of police on citizen violence has increased dramatically due to concerned citizens using their cell phones as recording devices, trying to avoid the Rodney King treatment. What concerns me the most is these violent, often ex-military, cops that are LOOKING for a reason to attack. This cell phone gun IS the excuse they have been looking forward to. Either one of two things is gonna happen, if not both.
1) Government will decide to suspend the citizens rights to record police with their cell phones, upon threat of punishment. Or...
2) Police shootings are going to increase as the police can justify shooting someone with a cell phone as "probable cause", claiming they thought it was a weapon.
In no way EVER was this a good idea. The Minnesota creator didn't think this clearly through. Yes, there is a history of weapons being made to not look like the standard pistol shape. I'm personally a HUGE supporter of the Second Amendment and don't think we should have to need special licenses beyond the RIGHTS afforded by the Constitution of the United States of America. I'm thinking that this hidden gun will only incite more violence, as too many people in this society and across the world are ALREADY TOO TRIGGER HAPPY!!! Guns should be used solely for the purpose of DETERRING violence (and hunting), and NEVER INCITING VIOLENCE!!!
