iPhone sales in China might tank once Trump takes over the Oval Office, but late-night TV host Bill Maher has a brilliant product idea that could be Apple’s next big hit.

“It’s now liberals’ turn to become doomsday prepping gun nuts, they just need survival products tailored to our lifestyle,” he said during the most recent Real Time With Bill Maher. To get liberals to love guns, Maher suggests Apple make one called the “Apple iDefender.”

“It’s like any other shotgun, just twice as expensive,” Maher said. “Only accepts Apple’s proprietary iShells. And they removed the barrel sight to make it thinner.”

If you’re wondering what an Apple-designed firearm might look like, check out the double-barrelled 486 Parallelo shotgun for Beretta that Apple design guru Mark Newson created. The famed designer’s update lowered the tail of the traditional receiver, adding more wood for warmth and to separate the safety from the receiver.

Marc’s shotgun also adds some minimalist touches to the traditional design, with twin barrels without welding lines. Beretta says the barrels were cold-hammer forged, and built to last for generations.
