Oh, the irony

Behold the Palm Pistol.  It's an ergonomic single-shot pistol intended for the gun-toting elderly and generally unable-to-use-a-regular-pistol.  Now, you might think that it's simple, cynical fear-exploitation marketing, noting that the shaky arthritic claw and rheumy eye are unable to actually hit anything with it, and it's not intimidating because it doesn't look like a gun.  You might, but you'd be wrong.

See, I think it's almost pure, realized condensate of irony.  This weapon is certified as a medical device.  The plan is to offer it on prescription.

Only in America.
