The Daily News reports:
“Anti-gun advocates are blasting a new iPhone case that looks like a pistol grip — and could be mistaken for a real gun … Some of the cases come with an app that puts up a picture of a gun on the screen — completing the overall image …”
God bless capitalism. Only in America could someone make a buck off a dumb-ass idea like this.
“… The gun grip cases, which can be purchased online or on the street, could no doubt doom young teens, community advocate Tony Herbert said. “If I were a cop and it was dark and I saw this (case) on a person, my first thought would be to pull my gun and defuse the threat,” Herbert said Tuesday …”
You can count on self-appointed “community advocates” going straight for the PSH.
“… Herbert is pushing city and state legislators to ban the sale of the gun case … “We have to ban the sale of this item before lives are lost,” he said.”
Why not let Darwinism take it’s course?
Apparently it is out of Japan/China where effectively no one carries, so having a case that looks gun-like is a harmless novelty.
Thanks to the internet, people in places where carry is allowed, or is not uncommon but illegal, can buy them. That’s where they get problematic.
