[quote:Anonymous Coward 30562013:MV8yMDk0NjUyXzM1MjY5NTkzX0U0QkY0RUNC] Editors are always smug little stupid fucks who think their shit smells like roses. Think they are making some big contribution to society when really all they are are gossiping pos doing absoluely nothing, sitting on their fat asses all day talking about other people when they have done nothing with their own lives...LOL [/quote]
Original Message
(CNN) -- An interactive map showing the names and addresses of all handgun permit-holders in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties has drawn a response from mostly disgruntled readers since it was posted Saturday on a newspaper's website.
The interactive map published by the Journal News, prompting more than 1,300 comments as of Tuesday, allows readers to zoom in on red dots that indicate which residents are licensed to own pistols or revolvers.
"So should we start wearing yellow Stars of David so the general public can be aware of who we are??" wrote one commenter.
Fareed's Take: Gun control
Some of those responding threatened to cancel their subscriptions or boycott the publication completely.
"I hope you lose readers now," wrote one.
The map came about in the wake of the massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, according to a statement from The Journal News.
