A Gun Is A Medical Device

At least in the eyes of Matthew Carmel, president of Constitution Arms, which has a patent on what he calls a medical device, the Palm Pistol. That's right - a gun in Mr. Carmel's view is a tool to improve people's health. He hopes to get Medicare to pay for the pistol so that we old farts with weak fingers can now shoot someone.

In Mr. Carmel's view,"It's something that they need to assist them in daily living. " He adds, "The justification for this would be no more or less for a [walking aid] or wheelchair, or any number of things that are medical devices."

He claims the FDA has approved it, but methinks Mr. Carmel is more interested in getting stupid investors than in reading the boilerplate he got from the FDA.
