"Gun Control" -- Apple style

By Jenn Jacques. August 1st, 2016

Apple has announced their solution to eliminating gun violence in America: when their latest mobile operating system iOS 10 rolls out this fall, users will notice the software giant has replaced the revolver emoji with a green squirt gun with an orange tip.

So that happened.

The virtual pistol has a history of getting people into legal trouble. A 12-year-old girl was charged after she "threatened" her school via Instagram by including the knife, bomb and gun emojis in an online post and a Brooklyn teenager was arrested after he posted a police emoji with pistol emojis pointing at his head.

While charges were later dropped in those cases, it was the beginning of the end of Apple users' right to bear virtual arms. .....

"Gun control" is reaching a whole new level - no longer can people 'threaten' with the use of a revolver emoji. Amazing and almost laughable. This will of course render the country much safer, just like the efficacy of 'gun-free-zone' signs. Perhaps, any emojis showing a knife or hammer etc should also be banned - "PC" as usual wins the day.
