Afraid of their own shadow. I'm disgusted and ashamed.

This is how worked up I am about things that don't effect me whatsoever. [Dunno]

I still use a flip-phone.

It's not a pistol, it's a revolver. [facepalm]

A company as big and influential as Apple capitulating to or possibly assisting the anti-Bill of Rights crowd will eventually adversely affect all of us pro 2A’s. Mostly through the continued indoctrination of our youth over time, sort of like how the teachers for the last 20 years have been teaching “Demonrat good, Republican bad”. One day the youth of America thinks all guns are bad and they don’t even know why, they just are.

Whew. Just checked. I still have the revolver.

Next thing you know they'll get rid of the bomb and some of the knives too.

Shows how much I pay attention, didn't even know there was a gun emoji. I'm not loyal to any brand (more less features), I may go with an S7 next go round.

They can (and try to) suspend your kids from school and charge them with academic career-ending violations for doing that ...

How else am I suppose to show my distain for something if I can't put a gun to a smiley face's head?

Points for using "iOta" during your iRant.

Just here to casually remind you that iCloud has made hackers enormous amounts of money. If it wasn't for iCloud, there wouldn't be but 10% of the celebrity hacked nudes either and divorce proceedings would be slightly less dirty.

Here here, three cheers for apple to making a hacking backdoor and pretending to fight the government for sake of your privacy [ROFL3][LOL]. Hip hipster hooray.

I lose an iota of respect when people admit to owning iCrap, even more so if they admit being on the iNeed the latest iCrap bandwagon.
I have not had my iCloud hacked for lewd or lascivious pics. Then again, I have no L&L pics on iCloud.

Own all iCrap, just not all the latest & greatest. Uses to be all PC, then split my time, then jumped the shark.

I am still running an iPhone 5. It still works. I won't get a new phone until it stops working. When it does, I'll get the oldest model currently available. i like iphones for the simplicity and continuity. Yes, I understand the privacy implications.

I disable the emoji keyboard as soon as I boot up a phone.

I was disgusted at first but then I thought, this is a business opportunity, selling emoji to gun enthusiasts who have to have iPhones but now have to settle for squirt guns. Maybe add a finger poking some fruit while you're at it ...

Yeah, I got to this point when I decided to change from iphone to droid and realized that I couldn't transfer the music that I PAID FOR to my droid without paying even more. That data is mine now you assholes.

I haven't tried for a while.....maybe there's a hack for this that dolts like me can do.

Any music you paid Apple for should be stored by iTunes as a DRM-less MP3. Log onto iTunes on a PC or Mac, sync your library, then look in the Music directory to get it all and copy to USB stick.

Any music you bought via iTunes prior to 2009 will have DRM protections, Protected AAC format. Follow this link below to remove the old DRM format and get fresh version w/o DRM. You should be good to go.

For as much hate that gets lumped on Apple, Google and Microsoft at just as bad if not worse, imo.
