First it was high capacity soft drinks, then it was assault trains... now the real culprit has been identified as the cause of NYC's crime:

I suspect soon he will call for a iBan.

Obviously he was misquoted. It would be the fault of iPhone owners allowing them to get into the hands of criminals.
And they probably all have high capacity memory cards too.

Unlike other tools, such as the ones apparently universally popular to the members of this forum, iPhones may indeed go rogue.

I suppose this is because iPhones have a high capacity contact list and can be dialed rapidly.

But you can only assault one person at at a time by calling. The real danger is in the unregulated text messaging and mail apps. You can blast away at lots of people at the same time with those. Those are the mass assault weapons that hurt more people every day than guns in a year.
