Apple Is Served A Search Warrant To Unlock Texas Church Gunman's iPhone (nydailynews.com)
An anonymous reader quotes the New York Daily News:
Authorities in Texas served Apple with a search warrant in order to gain access to the Sutherland Springs church shooter's cellphone files. Texas Ranger Kevin Wright obtained the warrant last week, according to San Antonio Express-News.
Investigators are hoping to gain access to gunman Devin Patrick Kelley's digital photos, messages, calls, videos, social media passwords, address book and data since January 2016. Authorities also want to know what files Kelley stored in his iCloud account.
Fast Company writes that "it's very likely that Apple will give the Rangers the same answer it gave the FBI in 2016 (in effect, hell no!)... That may be why, in the Texas case, the FBI and the Rangers didn't even bother calling Apple, but rather went straight to court."

HAHAHAHA "moral outrage". As if. The real moral outrage is how week after endless week, another mass shooting occurs, and you 'merkins are too fucking stupid to repeal your second amendment.
The US has far more freedom than Europe, and if you remove a 15% violent, lawless minority that commits 50% of all murders in the US, we have the same or better murder rate than Europe. The most heavily armed states with the highest CCW numbers also have the lowest crime rates, including murder rates.

That would mean that almost everyone who does not carry a gun will either get killed or have a loved one killed in front of them. That clearly is not the case.
The incapability and incuriosity of liberals always suprises me, but I guess at this point it should not...
Fallacy 1: The only harm that a person can experience is murder. This is clearly false. The woman who draws her CCW and confronts a rapist following her in a parking garage late at night may not be stopping a murder, but a rape. The man who draws his CCW when he observes a mugging is not stopping a murder. The list goes on. CCW holders can stop most criminal on innocent crime if they are the intended victim, or if the intended victim is nearby. Stopping a rape or mugging or assault is also good and valuable to society.
Most Americans will never ever be threatened by a gun, except by police. Most who are shot are shot by legally purchased guns.
Fallacy 2: Including criminals in "Americans threatened by gun toting police" is not only fallacy conflation, it is downright evil. It is extremely dishonest and irrational to lump criminals into the same category as innocent citizens (unless you are a criminal or planning on becoming one). We as a society want police to threaten criminals with the use of deadly force. Criminals and those suspected of violent crimes should be treated fairly, but if they fail to obey lawful police commands, they should be shot dead, and that is often what happens. I don't want a police officer risking his life for some piece of garbage that does not respect the rule of law. You sure as hell wouldn't be willing to risk your life for some non-compliant stranger who likely just raped or murdered or whatever the crime was. Why should you expect a police officer to? They are people too, who want to make it home to kiss their wives and tuck their kids into bed. Don't want to get shot, don't fight with police.
Fallacy 3: Nearly all guns in the US were legally purchased in the beginning. Outside of crimes of passion, almost all guns used in crimes were stolen or otherwise illegally obtained, for the same reason that criminals steal a car to use as their getaway car. Guns and cars can both be tracked, unless they are already stolen.
Fallacy 4: Exactly no person in the history of the world has ever been shot by a gun. Everyone who has ever been shot has been shot by someone else, using a gun. Guns are a tool. Get your shit straight.
There was very little truth in your statement so far. If you can't see that, I feel sorry for you.
Two things are in common for every mass shooting.
1: A deranged, insane, man or a terrorist. (FTFY)
2: A gun.
Reducing that combination is prudent.
I agree, which is why we need to re-institute involuntary commitment for insane people, see something say something and deport every radical Muslim in the US, bug every radical mosque and not import a single new radical Muslim. Problem solved. (And before you shit a brick, note the differentiation between normal, law abiding Muslim and RADICAL?) Please don't go full retard and say I am for deporting/banning all Muslims...
You want to take away the guns because you see no value in them, but that is because you are ignorant, not because there is no value to an armed citizenry. Tens of thousands of crimes are s
