IDG Contributor Network: Apple jumps the shark by removing the handgun emoji

Apple released another beta of iOS 10 yesterday, and among the changes in that release was the introduction of a squirt gun emoji that replaced the hand gun emoji that had previously been available. I'm running beta four of iOS 10 so I verified the change yesterday after doing my upgrade, the handgun emoji is no longer available.Before I get any further into this post, you should know that I’m a life member of the NRA, so my perspective on guns certainly does not match Apple’s.
