But soon after Mr Xi secured a third term, Apple released a new version of the feature in China, limiting its scope. Now Chinese users of iPhones and other Apple devices are restricted to a 10-minute window when receiving files from people who are not listed as a contact. After 10 minutes, users can only receive files from contacts.
Apple did not explain why the update was first introduced in China, but over the years, the tech giant has been criticised for appeasing Beijing.
The whole thing is a joke and makes for too many questions. Who is going to take my guns from me? What happens if I say no? Do I get reimbursed if I give my gun to the government? Where do all of these guns go?
Probably the most obvious question is, why take guns from law-abiding citizens in order to try and prevent criminals from using them? Because criminals totally follow laws and bans, right? Yes, there is no need for an assault rifle, but that doesn't mean they should be banned. A shotgun could have done just as much, if not more, damage at that school as an assault rifle.

Yea im ffine with a gun safty course requirement, but some states do this already for hand guns, mine does. Its not a fix though. I get pissed because we.arent addressing the issue, we are hiding it. Its not a gun issue but whats causing kids and young adults to.snap. I mean in aurora the kid called himself the.joker and it got swept under the rug in favor of simple gun debates. We all should have.said.this.person needed to be out of normal society but we.cant force him to be institutionalized easily.
These kids with mental illness need to be taken out of the general populous. Yes it sounds harsh but it keeps happening so they obviously.have.a breaking point. If you threaten violence as it seems these mentally ill people do the should lock them up for 30 days for.eval.as most psych breaks disapate by the time they get.treatment. These people need to be taken out of society. Now i know a lot of people here have.mental conditions its why we choose to play games, but if you have a.mental ilness and express violence you need to be locked up in a psych ward and evaled for.a month. My brother in law is this kid and we cant lock him up.
I'm for gun rights, but people keep bringing this up. It's stupid and needs to stop being said as a defense of gun rights. Car deaths happen because there are millions of people on the road every day and accidents are bound to happen. That's a completely different thing from homicide. The number of homicides by car is vanishingly small.
When survival is the goal, it's into the spider hole!
I was thinking more in terms of regulation on storage and checkups, it is a reasonable start. People allowed their guns to be stored wherever they see fit is retarded.
Wasnt it yesterday some 11 kid in Utah just took one of his parents gun to school waving it cos he was afraid of a shooting there.
Regulations doesn't fix the entire problem but pro-gunners attitude to bury their heads in the sand pretending that anything that isnt 100% waterproof is bad, why the fuck would you want to make it easier for criminals got get hold of firearms
Also mental/health/training required on a yearly basis or something along those lines.
A ban is not even on the drawing table in regards of any rational weapon used to defend ones home, hunting, life.

See the problem is that people are fine with banning something they aren't part of or don't enjoy. People will ban the tool but ignore the cause, especially when the cause might be something they do enjoy. Violent media has a strong tie to these crimes but now you targeting something these people enjoy and they get up in arms.
Ah yes, when the ability to reason and present a coherent argument fails, fall into ad hominems. It's quite droll.
The primary difference between Obama and Bush is that Obama was more reactionary, while Bush took the initiative. It is what made Bush, despite his many failings, a very powerful president, while on the other hand Obama floundered under constant pressure for four years. The two really aren't equitable for this reason. What's more, in this discussion I have not said "Bush passed the Patriot Act, Bush's regime passed the Patriot Act," now have I? I said the Republicans passed the Patriot Act. Strawman arguments are fun, aren't they?
Oh, and as for this "nothing republicans could do to stop him" blithering, here ya go: http://politics.nytimes.com/congress...12/senate/1/84
The blame he should take? Alright, so what hundreds of innocent children are you referring to exactly?
The basic concept of general freedom in this country (this is my opinion, and is largely born out by our government/courts) is that you are free to do what you will so long as it doesn't impact the rights of others. Moving on from that, the state can, in the presence of a compelling need, restrict our general freedom in specific manners.
We have regulations concerning the sale and consumption of alcohol on the books, as it was successfully argued that there is a compelling need to prevent our youth from drinking. Outside of those rules, yes, we have the right to drink alcohol.
