If I get a handgun, [this](http://images.huffingtonpost.com/2014-01-16-guncontrolposter-thumb.pngw700), is the one I want.  
But, I don’t think you can actually [purchase](https://www.google.com/search?q=handgun+painted+red+white+blue&espv=2&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAWoVChMI9t_ZntizyAIVTfuACh11JgWa&biw=1300&bih=779) one.  
Apparently, however, there is a [DIY](http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-paint-your-gun-Red-white-and-blue-camo/) kit for the truly dedicated.
