This is a sort of aversion programming, where individuals, from childhood on, are taught to fear the mere sight of an inanimate object.
Shades of 1984.

Coming to a city near you. When a kid can’t even eat a pop tart with out someone going “bonkers”, thinking the pop tart resembles a firearm, every one of us should be concerned how our nation has been so brainwashed against firearms.

Fortunately, Second Amendment supporters and open carry activists ended this sort of idiotic, programmed terror reaction before it became common in the United States.The same way the little snowflakes start screaming "Trigger! Trigger!" at the sight of the Confederate flag, or a Poptart in the shape of Florida.
That reaction has simply shifted to the target du jour.

I will never forget the reaction of the lovely Mrs Tupelo after we moved to Sonoran Desert upon seeing a guy carrying a hogleg in Home Depot.

It actually does look a little like the Ares folding SMG.
