The solution to gun crime?

August 11th, 2010 · Posted by Skuds in Life/Technology · 1 Comment · Life, Technology

This is supposed to be art – a sculpture that can turn into a gun, which would appear to owe a lot of inspiration to a certain  James Bond film – but it could be the answer to gun crime.  Just tweak the US constitution so that the right to bear arms means you can carry a gun, but it has to be one of these.

Or is it just one more thing for airport security to look out for?  Will they be confiscating Rubiks Cubes just in case?

Imagine the shoot-out in High Noon if both of them had one of these.  It would be like a particularly high-stakes round of the Krypton Factor.
