Handguns Now Being Disguised As Cell Phones

This is a problem? What's the problem? This is no problem! The problem is something entirely different. The problem is that handguns are being disguised as deadly weapons and people who carry them as deadly evil people. Thanks to the media, politicians' agendas to gain visibility and of course, to the gullible everywhere.
The problem is, "just what the hell are we gonna do about it?" If this were last year, I would've said, "Beats the hell outta me!" But it ain't last year. I've been educated.
Let's think about this cell phone disguised as a gun... oh, sorry, I mean gun disguised as a cell phone... Hmmmm. (grunt a little here whilst you think, helps the blood flow to the brain - good) now to get back ... Hmmmm. Seems to me that if we had adequate concealed carry laws, we would not have to worry about this kind of problem. Wouldn't be a problem. Honest, law abiding citizens would be able to carry concealed without having to worry over the goddmaned rules.
Rule number one:
OK. You say you want licensing? Fine. Now that I'm licensed, go away and leave me alone. Don't impose restrictions on my license such as, carry it only when the moon is in it's waxing gibbous phase, or when the moon is in the seventh house and Jupiter is layin Mars...
And stop this crap about how many guns I can't have and the BS over some silly waiting period. Today, RIGHT NOW, I can go to Ferris Avenue in White Plains, New York, (excuse me Mr. Officer, are you paying attention?) to FERRIS Avenue and buy just about anything I want. Just like Alice's Restaurant.
I could get me a Sig Sauer P 228, new in box, with illegal clips and illegal Black Talon ammo, for less than half the retail price and get it for cash in less than five minutes. Oh, and before I forget, I can also buy Horse, Mary Jane (see how old I am? I say Mary Jane instead of "Mary Jou Wanna?"), nose candy and any sort of pill made on the forkina planet.
But alas, I cannot. For I am a law abiding citizen. And I am supposed to refrain from this "prohibition" mentality. You know, the one that started La Cosa Nostra and firmly planted my Sicilian forebears (the nasty ones) in place in our society. The ones from which most other crime syndicates were created. Made members.
Yup. This politics thing really sucks big time dun'it?
Yes it does.
Now when the elections come up, perhaps you'll vote smarter this time around, eh? Maybe. Or maybe not. And if not, you will get everything you deserve.
