Police shootings of unarmed black men have dominated the nation’s headlines in recent years. Now there is growing concern that new iPhone cases shaped like handguns will lead to more needless deaths at the hands of trigger-happy police. The NAACP, police departments, anti-gun advocates and parents are sounding the alarm about the new gun-shaped iPhone cases. From the NY Daily News: Concerned critics demanded the gun-grip cases be banned from being sold on the Internet and stores, saying they can easily be mistaken for a real firearm. “This is the stupidest, most dangerous thing I’ve ever seen,” said one former cop who spoke anonymously of the accessory. “The money that is earned from the sale of this case is blood money earned from the blood of the person who is foolish enough to carry it,” said Patrick Lynch, president of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. Brooklyn community activist Tony Herbert agreed. “If I were a cop and it was dark and I saw this (case) on a person, my first thought would be to pull my gun and defuse the threat,” Herbert said at a press conference on Tuesday. Inez Rodriguez, 62, a member of Grandmothers Love Over Violence, an anti-violence group in Brooklyn, said the cases would only invite trouble. “They think it’s cute, but this is going to get our kids killed,” Rodriguez said.
Are they crazy or what

This is so serious too me this fashion statement is so ridiculous you know this look is geared towards a much younger group of people and the design of looking like a gun is all that group needs. Such a useless statement this company should be a shame of themselves really.
Just my heated opinion of this but I feel this is just over the top : (

you have cause...what are they thinking, with all the shootings etc? Just the other day a man was shot in the eye for waving a towel at police officers (Griffith Park, CA) and someone thought it was a good idea to have a weapon as a phone cover?
