The “defensive” (I laugh) Palm .38 SPL pistol, designed specifically for people with reduced muscular capacity, osteoporosis or rheumatoid arthritis, as well as for those suffering from degenerative diseases, arrives on the American market.
Disabled and elderly people will have the opportunity to kill someone exactly like the others: a great conquest of civilization, don't they?
The project is a long-standing one: for years the company had been trying to patent this device: the delay in approval for sale would have been due (this is nice) to the attempt to have it registered as a "medical device", in order to guarantee its sale at reasonable costs. more accessible for applicants. From the press releases of the manufacturing company:
it is a very innovative single shot pistol, which can be held with any hand and in any direction. It is built for the elderly, disabled or other individuals with muscular limitations, or amputations. You can shoot with the palm of your hand or a combination of other fingers. We expect an initial production of 500 units, reserved for American citizens only. The base price is $1350 plus 10% tax.
Here the product site, in case you have a grandfather or a disabled friend who wants to do himself justice. Meanwhile, as a good Neapolitan I'm going to play the lotto numbers:
70 – the pistol. 53 – the old ones. 20 – amazement (and stupidity).
