In reply to the discussion: Gun shaped like smartphone allows firearm owners to ‘carry your pistol with you on any occasion’ [View all]JoeyT

Guns hidden in regular objects have been a thing for hundreds of years now, and they're basically a niche market that no one else gives cares about.
Law abiding owners won't want them because part of being "law abiding" is not sneaking your piece into places you're not allowed to have one. Spree killers won't want them because two shots of a .380 out of a weapon of questionable accuracy is just enough to get everyone's attention before you get your ass beat. Self defense purchasers won't want them because no one is going to let you take a five minute break to get your gun all set up to shoot.
It's a novelty gun. No one but collectors and idiots are going to want them.
