Conservative Tech Fans Once Again Snubbed By Lack Of Apple Gun (HuffPo Satire)
Huffington Post ^ | Sep 10, 2015 | John Trowbridge

This week, Apple announced plans to roll out the iPad Pro, iPhone 6s, iPhone 6s Plus, Apple Pencil and a Siri-Controlled Apple TV. This came as a huge disappointment to conservative tech users who have been silently waiting for the tech conglomerate to release a product that fits their Republican lifestyle.

First on their wish-list: the Apple Gun.

A Texas techie complained, "I don't draw. Neither does anybody I know. So a digital pencil is garbage to me. What I'd love is a gun that can stream Hannity. I'd pay $400 for that. No question."

Tim Cook and Co. made absolutely no mention of a smartgun or hinted at plans to release one in the near/far future. In fact, words and phrases such as "gun," "firearm," "ammo," "state's rights," "second amendment," "background checks," "government takeover," "founding fathers" or "Hitler wanted gun control" were uttered zero times during the event.

...

"They didn't say one thing that I wanted to hear," one user added. "I go to Republican campaign rallies all the time and they say all the things that I like. It's like when my buddies and I park our trucks in a Walmart parking lot, get tanked and talk about the War on Christmas! Not here. It was like I was invisible."

That was some seriously predictable so-called humor. Yawn to HuffPo.

Well, yeah. I debated about posting it... stereotypes are kinds, well, stereotypical...

Although I admit the "iDodge Ram with Hemi V8" sounds like it might be a winner... :-)

Now here is the same idea, but done in a funny manner. The cartoonist is a liberal, but had a sense of humor when he wrote the strip. Note he makes fun of both liberals and conservatives.

It was funny laughing at the HuffPo nitwits, though!
They think they are so darn clever writing about guns.

An apple gun would probably make you pull the trigger 10 times before actually firing. Warning did you really pull the trigger? You know if you fire we cannot get the bullet back. Are you sure you want to fire? Are you really intending to shoot something? You will not hold apple liable for any damages or lawsuits against you, still want to fire?

Closer to the truth would be all of a sudden liberals waiting in line all night to buy a gun just because it has the apple logo.

In keeping with Apple design philosophy, there will only be a single button trigger, no safety or other “cluttering” controls.

The first generation of the iPistol™ will have a pre-loaded magazine, which cannot be removed. (The plan being that when the magazine is empty, you will buy another iPistol™)

The second generation of iPistol™ will have a removable magazine, but will use a different calibre round. It also won’t fit into first generation holsters.

Third generation iPistol™ will have the option of pairing with the new AppleTarget™
