How do you know that the image classifier on your iPhone, that exists today, and detects faces, isn't also detecting whether the photo has a gun in it?

We don't know, but a photo of a gun isn't going to break your marriage, make you lose your job, make your friends hate you and get you thrown into jail for weeks.
Someone finding a way to plant this kind of material on your phone does that.
Besides, the fact that something that can be misused exist isn't a very good defense for creating something else that widens the opportunity for abuse significantly.
