isn't it strange how unicode has no real gun, or rifle... just this piss: 🔫 i mean pistol
and yet we have these: 💣 🧨 💥 ⚔️ 🔪
these 5 elements represent things that often are associated with terrorism or murder
Discussion
what's worse... guns, which can mean murder or self defense, or bombs, which are just war and terrorism
the woke virus contaminates everything
It was not always so. See https://emojipedia.org/pistol
"Originally depicted as a classic handgun, as a revolver or other pistol. In 2016, Apple switched its design from weapon to toy; other major vendors followed suit by 2018. Deprecated emoji sets or smaller platforms still display the emoji as a handgun."
In fact, it does not appear to be unicode's error. Look at https://www.unicode.org/charts/PDF/U1F300.pdf (Unicode 16) where it describes the emoji in question 1F52B as "PISTOL = handgun, revolver" and furthermore (at least in Firefox's display of the PDF) it looks like a Beretta 92! This is an error of presentation in several implementations, not an error in the spec.
