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 be able to kill someone exactly like the others: a great civilizational achievement, right?
The project is a long-standing one: the company has been trying to patent this device: the delay in approval for sale would be due (this is nice) to the attempt to have it registered as a "medical device", in order to guarantee its sale at more accessible costs for applicants. From the press releases of the manufacturing company:
it is a shotgun single a lot innovative, 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 dollars more 10% tax.
Here the product site, in case you have a grandparent or a disabled friend what he wants to do justice alone. In the meantime, as a good Neapolitan, I'm going to play the numbers in the lottery:
70 – the pistol. 53 – the old ones. 20 – amazement (and stupidity).
