What's good for the goose is good for the gander. hayseedcow

Keep up the heat – and look who’s got the home address of Cyndee Royle, editor of the Journal-News?

Reader “Jeff” sends along a link to the latest article in the White Plains tabloid, Journal-News, reporting on the hornets nest occasioned by their publication of an interactive map showing the identity and address of all registered gun owners in Westchester County and surrounding areas.

Editor Cyndee Royle defends her decision and in fact sounds quite smug about it. Let’s keep those cards and letters (and telephone calls, of course) coming.

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.”

Re: Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners
(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.

what's next? I.D. chip for gun owners?
 Quoting: JUST HERE



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."

Re: Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners
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.

Re: Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners
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.

^BUMP THIS

All she did was get access to those public records and made it easily accessible. 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.

Do you not have privacy laws that prevent this type of list from being published.

This would never happen up here.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 24537691


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.

Re: Newspaper sparks outrage for publishing names, addresses of gun owners
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...'

"Moral of the story is I chose a half measure when I should have gone all the way. I'll never make that mistake again.
