Quoting: Anonymous Coward 30884302 Are gun owners the new cigaret smokers in America? That's what Eric Holder compared it to. “What we need to do is change the way in which people think about guns, especially young people, and make it something that’s not cool, that it’s not acceptable, it’s not hip to carry a gun anymore, in the way in which we changed our attitudes about cigarettes.” -Eric Holder |

nutmeg User ID: 30522741 United States 12/26/2012 11:18 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | (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. Quoting: JUST HERE 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.

Top Hat User ID: 1720896 12/26/2012 11:37 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The same has been debated here in Illinois. The NRA and Illinois Firearms Organizations got a restraining order against the Attorney General of Illinois to stop this madness. A FOID card does not mean firearms ownership. This is as irresponsible as hell. They're begging for more violence, particularly in Chicago and Peoria. I expect the rest of the nation to go on some basterdized form of the Illinois-style Federal FOID-like law as in Illinois. I'm not in support of that. It just stands to reason since the O is from illinois, that's the way this might go down. "The General Assembly has clearly determined that it is in the public interest to provide a system for identifying those who are qualified to acquire or possess firearms through the issuance of FOID cards," assistant public access counselor Matthew Rogina wrote. "The public, therefore, has a legitimate interest in ISP's enforcement of the FOID card act." [link to www.ammoland.com] |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 15467413 United States 12/26/2012 11:41 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Funny how gun owners are calling foul and injustice over people simply having access to public information about the armed ones living among them. The only information that the right wing thinks people should be allowed to have are the dogma and behavior codes that their religious church leaders program their followers with, that it's safe for the masses to be taught. If America weren't a democracy, we'd be living like peasants in the Middle Ages, eating crap, dying young and slaving to support a corrupt priesthood and royalty. |

Otherwise you will continue to shame yourself on public forums. |

Read an article just before Obama was crowned the 2nd time that Democratic donators were buying up small newspapers. Once I had a list of who and what but cannot find it now. To be sure it is somewhere out in the wild wide web.

patmac User ID: 3202020 United States 12/26/2012 11:56 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This article was a hot topic during my family's christmas dinner this year. We know a few of the people listed and feel somewhat mixed about what will happen as a result. Everyone agreed unanimously that it was a terrible act on the part of the Journal News. But this is what we established. 1.) Criminals now know which houses they can break into with immunity. and 2.) Criminals will now break into the houses of those listed in hopes of acquiring weapons. But will probably get a buckshot to the face. Regardless, of what criminals decide to do. That map is about to have a whole lot more dots on it. Great job Journal News! You just created more demand for the tool you despise. |

Sure, what she did was a pretty sad move, but anyone has access to these records. Maybe she did it to make people aware of these public records, I don't know, but she sounds like a bitch anyways, so.. If you guys are so concerned about privacy, go after your local government for giving out access to all this information about you. Go after the government for even requiring a license to carry. Start attacking these bureaucrats and officials to get changes implemented, because they're getting away with it scot-free. |

Ralph--a house dog User ID: 25802009 United States 12/26/2012 03:00 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Do you not have privacy laws that prevent this type of list from being published. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24537691 This would never happen up here. In many states (maybe most or all?)concealed carry permits are a matter of public record and someone who really wanted to see the lists could go to the county courthouse and look them up. But publishing this type of information is completely asinine. I hope that newspaper loses a lot of advertising revenue. In fact, the concealed carry permit holders, the NRA, Gun Owners of America, etc ought to start a very vocal widely publicized boycott of the paper's advertisers. It works.

Dr. Lecter User ID: 24275310 United States 12/26/2012 03:29 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The use of Alinsky's tactics are the left's most powerful weapon... and they know it. The beautiful thing here is that they give themselves away too easily and, in my eyes, it immediately becomes a source of disinformation and left-wing propaganda. And from the comments I read, a whole lot of other people feel like I do about it. 13. Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it. In conflict tactics there are certain rules that [should be regarded] as universalities. One is that the opposition must be singled out as the target and 'frozen.'... "...any target can always say, 'Why do you center on me when there are others to blame as well?' When you 'freeze the target,' you disregard these [rational but distracting] arguments.... Then, as you zero in and freeze your target and carry out your attack, all the 'others' come out of the woodwork very soon. They become visible by their support of the target...'
