![]() ![]() ![]() Members at a Unicode meeting in June also voted to remove the rifle emoji, Buzzfeed reported. The group wrote an open letter to Apple saying: "We ask that you stand with the American people and remove the gun emoji from all your products as a symbolic gesture to limit gun accessibility. We understand taking the emoji out will not end gun violence, but this act will show Congress that gun-owning and non-owning Americans have come together to demand required background checks for all gun sales." But the move comes almost exactly a year after anti-gun group New Yorkers Against Gun Violence started the #DisarmTheiPhone campaign in an effort to convince Apple to remove the gun emoji.
