That doesn't look like it satisfies the requirements of the second rule of gun fighting: bring enough gun. Cute, perhaps, in a metrosexual way.

Is there some kind of indicator on the thing to keep it pointed in the right direction while you're answering calls?

Can't imagine what the rules are like for talking!

I don't think it actually works as a cell phone.

Looks more like a fancy multi-channel radio than a cell phone to me.

That would be because the idea is actually quite old, and the cellphone design is dated. This thing floats up a couple of times a year, and every time it is presented as a new and uber-dangerous megagun. I've been seeing it in the news for at least five or six years now, and it's probably older than that.

Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.

Yes.

I was going to say that this particular "news" story resurfaces from time to time, and I remember the last time being at least a couple years ago. ;)

Is it just me, or does anyone else get the feeling that was created entirely to justify the shooting by police of someone reaching for a cellphone?

I am curious from where came the mafia injection. While the mafia certainly have a history of canning people - usually in pieces - a purpose designerd and built cellphone gun is more the kind of thing an intelligence agency would develope and use.
