RICO, Sherman Antitrust Act , Commerce Clause?

I think both Apple and Google should be forced to divest their app stores.

In the future 5G networks will help make apps obsolete. Just put a link on the phone that looks like an app icon and it will operate with the speed of an app via a browser window. Look at Windows365 or GoogleApps for an example, these used to be software you had to install on your computer but now they are offered as services used inside a browser.

I still use the software apps fwiw, but you get my point.

I didn’t see this coming. Big Tech is the biggest threat to our liberty. 2nd is our state government. Not the federal government, oddly.

So, based on this outcry by GunBrokers, if I decide to not sell condoms, sex videos, and dildos in my gun store, bakery, or flower shop, I should be charged under the (albeit unConstitutional) RICO act or some (again, albeit unConstitutional) anti-discrimination EEO rule?

Exactly.

At least as long as you have some undefined minimum number of users at which point you lose your property and first amendment rights.

For some reason.

Who needs an “app?”

iPhone and iPad users (Apple) and Android users (Google) are now blocked from using the GunBroker app

Conservatives should just design and build their own smart phones. < /s>

Ping!
Perhaps this might be worth mentioning when you’re on the radio with Bill Frady this week.
I listen to nothing but firearms and 2nd amendment podcasts on my iPhone while I’m at work. Including the LockAndLoad radio show.
Who’s to say that Apple won’t decide to put a stop to allowing this kind of content to be available for downloading?

That’s a RICO Act violation, as well as antitrust act violation.
Apparently the only laws we have in the US now are the ones you may or may not choose to observe at any given time.


While the GOP sleeps. Who needs Democrats with Republicans like Graham and China Mitch?

Barr’s a gun grabber, except for FBI snipers who shoot nursing women in Idaho.

Do you think a web browser is safer?

If you have a good browser like Brave or some other browser that’s secure, to what you consider secure.

I decided a couple of years ago that when this MAC dies or is rendered useless due to forced obsolescence I will simply retire from all use of the ‘net.

PC’s annoy the heck out of me after having MAC’s for so long, but now Apple has gone PC so I can no longer stand to buy their products either.

If they keep this up, only criminals and government personnel will have firearms.

That’s the idea.

A defenseless population whick is dependent on the government for *protection.*

That way said population will surrender their rights and keep in power the elite who just want to control everything and everyone anyways.

Time for some buildings to burn. Most of the governors collapsed to intense pressure. Time now for the pocket bucks that fund this destruction of our 2nd amendment rights to feel the Bern.
