Coming to Your Neighborhood?

This little "fit in your pocket" gem is likely NOT going to make us safer.
Take the dog for a walk with your little glock machine gun (ambi-dexterous no less)? Maybe send your kid out to the bus stop on those dark winter mornings?
It is difficult to figure out exactly who this is being marketed for. On one hand it sounds like you or your neighbor. On the other hand, perhaps it is for those "contractors" the U.S. is using around the globe.
Then there is of course security issues - like the airport. It looks like the FMG 9 (sans flash light) would fit neatly into the body of a laptop.

The finer points about all weapons are horrifying, but there is a flip side.
Scrounging for anything that the Navy had we could get in barter that would bring greater pee on a wood line was EXCELLENT! Result was I ended up on a track with an extra side mounted fifty and a belt fed crank operated Honeywell on the opposite side, and an AK inside with ammo plus a Thompson, the sounds of which cold get us all killed by our own side. The Honeywell could set a green wood line on fire. So what if at times it is just fun to destroy things...tough shit! And I'd tell you about the 90 MM Recoiless we found in the mud I reconditioned and moved most of the washers over on the side of the trigger cable to make it a "hair Trigger" so with one Fleshet round in the chamber across my shoulder pointed generally in the direction of a wood line,and three in a pack frame...ah, hell...you already know about how much fun I was having on point...
skills in the mountains and deserts of the universe where US American will is exercising "A hip-pocket assault rifle. Can it be reproduced by countless villagers with no particular mechanical or metallurgical skills so the US may exercise delusional "Eminent Domain rules" based on European/ergo/Roman-Greco perpetual War ideals...what is it next, the Baghdad Embassy becomes nicknamed "Fort Apache" after the massacre by a truck bomber attack no one allowed anti-tank preparations for so WE could suffer deaths and manipulate the US American people into declaring fifth or tenth World War (?) on a bunch of non-white Third World "pagan" people? Is the ammo easily available and when will the US make it available so the weapon can become classified as a danger to the US American Voter? Can I get one now so I can play with it in my back yard? Please!!!
