[Collected via e-mail, 2002] well 16 years new anyway
https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/phoney-guns/ Though the novelty of cell-phone guns is interesting, ATF spokesman John D’Angelo says the idea of concealing firearms in common devices is not new. “Disguised weapons have been around forever. We’ve seen guns in the form of canes, pens, beepers. As technology progresses and becomes more prevalent, disguised weapons will change to mirror that.” "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |

Also from your link
However, the video clip (of unknown provenance) doesn’t seem to match the one described in the text of the message, nor does it provide visual proof that the object shown is actually firing bullets. There a difference between custom-made hardware only available to drug cartels, and mail-order. No cop could reasonably expect a random kid on the street has one of the former. -- Drew |

happen to know that a law or three would have you arrested if you actually tried to do that. "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |

answering Drewks old hat post thinky
pizzas have been around a hundred years why do we see the latest and greatest pizza commercials? Because some dumbass will buy the product. Same thing here, the anti gun product is having the vapours over something that has been around for a while, they are selling their product the cell phone gun folks recognise that and depend on the hysterics to make sales. A person who enjoys pistols for shooting would probably pass. The faddists will flock as they always do. Next up will be the dildo shotgun "Science is the belief in the ignorance of the experts" – Richard Feynman |
