TechIs this e-reader case a gun?

Louisville-based creator Luke The Maker has shown off an unusual design for the Xteink X4 e-reader. The case is 3D-printed in the shape of a pistol, with the X4 positioned vertically on top of the plastic gun’s slide. A cutout on the side provides access to the device’s buttons. The design raises a provocative question about whether an e-reader case shaped this way could be as dangerous as a Glock 19.
