Google has joined the other big tech giants in swapping out gun emojis for harmless water pistols. Google's stance on the "issue" has evolved over the years. In 2013, Google allowed users to send emojis in the form of an 18th-century gun, later swapping it for a traditional weapon, and now changing it to a phone.onech with Android in an orange spray gun.

The depiction of weapons or bombs in texting apps is a problem, especially in America's polarized society. While some people don't consider the gun emoji politically incorrect, others see it as a means of violence and cyberbullying. Unfortunately, even sending an innocent water gun can cause trouble, as, for example, Microsoft The water gun emoji does not yet have a list of products, so the weapon will appear on devices from this company.
In our corners, reasoning over the gun emoji may seem laughable. However, it should be noted that the vast majority of tech giants are based in the US, where fear reigns after all kinds of terrorist attacks or shootings. Let's recall, for example, last year's shooting at a concert in Las Vegas, the massacre in a Texas church or the relatively recent shooting at a Florida high school. Of course, there are many more such misfortunes.

Apple The traditional weapon emoji gave up in 2016 with the arrival of iOS 10, also initiated a discussion that year to remove the rifle emoji. It was allegedly a sporting rifle that was supposed to be included in the context of the upcoming Rio Olympics. After discussion, the emoji was removed and put on a par with the bomb or cigarette emoji. Microsoft has done the exact opposite in this regard. Until 2016, it had a kind of yellow laser gun in its emoji, then changed it to a traditional pistol, which it still has in its offer. This year, Twitter and Samsung have given up on the classic pistol. The latter, together with the launch of its new flagship Samsung Galaxy S9.

So in the US it's legal to own a semi-automatic rifle, which no one minds, but they're going to fight over the stupid smiley face. Strange.
Holding a semi-automatic rifle is also legal in the Czech Republic, I have two myself.
