New York's senior senator wants a federal investigation into a new handgun, over concerns that it too-closely resembles an iPhone.
On Monday, Senator Chuck Schumer, D-New York, asked the Justice Department and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms to block sales of a double barreled .380 caliber handgun from gun maker Ideal Conceal.
"This iPhone gun is a disaster waiting to happen,” Schumer said in a news conference Monday in New York.
The gun, according to the manufacturer's website, is, "ingeniously designed to resemble a smartphone, yet with one click of the safety it opens and is ready to fire."
