I don't want to be prevented from using my device to its full potential because of what some teenagers might do. Sure, throw up some scary warnings to try to save the kids, but in the end I want control over the device I'm physically holding in my hands. I'm not going to spend $99/year to install apps any more than I'll spend $18/mo on heated seats.
- factsarelolz 4y agos/device/gun I agree.
- throwup 4y agoNot a relevant comparison and makes me wonder why I even comment here - phones cannot be used as weapons during a shooting - guns don't require a monthly subscription to use bullets not approved by the manufacturer etc
- salawat 4y ago>phones cannot be used as weapons during a shooting Theoretically, a phone can absolutely be used as a component of the triggering mechanism of a rigged up firearm. Yes, there are even extant regulations around that. The ATF will consider anything that meets the definition of a firearm rigged with an electrically actuated trigger a machine gun by default due to being readily convertible to being fully automatic. That you don't have the creativity or will to go down these rabbit holes does not in any way mitigate their existence.
- number6 4y agoMore so if you swap change device to gun.
- dawnbreez 4y agoI mean, I agree with you, but that's kind of a non-sequitur? The reason I want control over my software/hardware is not the same as the reason I want to own a firearm.
