It should
you think people who own guns should be allowed to "do whatever they want" with them?
how many mass shootings do we already have each week?
They can do whatever they want with them, that's why we have shootings.
If they couldn't, then they wouldn't, but they obviously can, because they do. This is not complicated.
I feel like I am feeding a troll, but let me break this down:
If you have a gun, you can point it at anything and pull the trigger, you don't need the permission of the manufacturer to do so.
Not with a phone, you CAN'T load any software you want into your phone.
That's the difference, you can do whatever you want with a gun, and if you mess up, you go to jail. You can't do whatever you want with your phone, only what the corp.s (apple) allow you to.
