What about this design "intrinsically has 'illicit use' all over it"? Are you looking at the simple fact that it is made in plastic? The fact that it can fire .22LR rounds? Maybe it is the coloring? Anything can be misused and there is nothing in it's intrinsic qualities that makes it only for one purpose. You see a scary, bad person, gun. Others see a well thought out mechanical design. It is neither good nor evil on it's own.

There are legitimate uses for firearms that are neither bad nor nefarious. Hopefully you never experience any of those circumstances first hand.

Keep up the good work WarFairy. You need to move to a more friendly location so you can actually do the testing as well.
