#DisarmTheiPhone - New York Activist group want's Apple to remove the Gun emoji

[Maslofski]

also remove the 13 (?) train emojis, so many people commit suicide trough them, its just awfull every time one of those pops up

[Camul]

Uh, okay. Just seems like another Tumblr user thinking they're going to be the one to change the world for the better. Moving on.

 

 

Ah the social marxists strike again. Their cure to anything that offends them, is to ban it. Doesn't matter how many people who get oppressed in the process. Remember kids, in the eye of SJW's, your rights end where their feelings begin.

 

What does promoting stricter gun control in a very civilised way have to do with SJWs? If you use it wrong then it becomes meaningless.

[Camul]

There's nothing liberal about this. These people are far left authoritarians.

 

Stricter access to guns doesn't mean banning guns. The idea that everyone has the right to own and access a device designed to kill people is pretty crazy.

[Alurit]

I would agree, but I'm smarter than that

I don't think bashing far left of far right a reason to abandon a thread. I though bashing extremists left right and centre don't cause flamewars in most places, or maybe I just don't attend enough forums.

[SansVarnic]

What the .... wow.

So what is this group going to do about all the gun apps in the Apple store as well? Last I remember those downloads topped out near 1 million+ or so together.

 

I am neither for or against as I really do not care, there is a gun emoji in my phone and I never had or felt the need to use it. Maybe I should. Honestly all these guy have done is increased awareness that it there so now we are going to see a major increase in its use for the next couple of months. Ha, idiots.

 

 

 

 

*Edit*

I double checked and I don't have one, I have a Windows Phone. Unless I missed it. I feel left out.

Everyone has an iPhone? Seriously?

 

Here is what I say to this. MUHHH AHHHHH

NRA: prison convicts and children should be allowed the exercise their 2nd amendment rights

We need to put an end to the war on emoticons #DisarmTheiPhone

 

I'm not sure how to react to this video. It's really fun, but really, REALLY sad. 

[qwertywarrior]

i cant even .....

[marldorthegreat]

Wow gun crim is really a problem, 33,000 deaths per year. thats 90 deaths per day. In the UK from 2013 to 2014 (thats a year) only 29 people died from gun crime. And americans say "To stop gun crime, we need more guns"

 

MORE PEOPLE DIE EACH DAY IN THE US FROM GUNS THAN IN 1 YEAR IN THE UK

[linuxfan66]

Well right anger wrong target...as usual

[FakezZ]

I'm gonna jump the gun on this and say this is pure bullshit... (Get it?)

The US does have a bigger population than the UK, so it kinda makes sense the mortality is higher, but I do agree with you that there has to be a ban on guns. Besides, if everyone has one, then it is like nobody has.

It doesn't scale up that way, by that logic if the UK had 318 million people that would still only be 153 deaths per year.

I said it makes sense for the death rate to be higher, due to the bigger population, not that it explains that big of a difference.

[dragosudeki]

This is just ridiculous. Why don't we see them against every the war on 'terrorists' since that's most likely the cause of the violent mentality in America. Or how about everyone going hard against racism, because that is another root of the problem. I don't agree with the banning of the guns in the US particularly. In other countries, I feel the ban makes sense. I feel that since the US spends so much on military instead of worrying about their education, immigration, and other laws, it only makes sense that the people of that country would want to take up arms or at least own a gun. More laws don't stop criminals, it only creates them.

I am getting a firearm when I am of age for sure. I love shooting and the ranges. ANd this?? WTF What happened to MERICA 

Simple answer?

 

Cowardly sheep following lying dictators in waiting.

There are other issues to take into account as well. Such as the UK being an island, which is somewhat more easily secured, and having a smaller landmass to police.

isn't new york that ultra liberal nanny state? not surprised it came from there

[APrettyCoolWalrus]

wot

How will this do anything...?

Yup, they're the ones who tried to ban large soda drinks.

 

 

They also have large apartment buildings with separate entrances for the rich and the poor (*COUGH*communism-in-progress*COUGH*)

[SurvivorNVL]

While we're at it--can we disarm the whales of their horribly terrifying, and murderous teeth?  Possibly Dolphins as well, because they typically rape seals in the wild.  *Facepalm*

[captain cactus]

Pfhahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahahahhaha

 

 

Grow a brain maggots.

You know.. why can't they just be activists for something that matters?  Why is it that they always go after something that is insignificant in the grand scheme.  You know, since they are going after Apple, maybe they can petition to have them treat their workers in Taiwan, and China faaaar better than they do.  Improve Human work conditions.  Will make more of an impact than removing a gun emote.

Because that would involve facing their own hypocrisy, which just isn't going to happen.
