Gun owners likened to sexual preditors... newspaper publishes map with names and addresses
They got me. One reason I have not purchased a firearm lately is I fear being added to a government database as a potential troublemaker... and I am embarrassed to admit this.
But I failed to even conceive or ever imagine that gun ownership info would be used like this. What a nightmare... This will surely forward the mission of restricting our rights through fear and intimidation.
Gun permit owners compared to convicted sex offenders... newspaper publishes map with names and addresses

Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?
"To create the map, The Journal News submitted Freedom of Information requests for the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam. By state law, the information is public record."

BTW These are permit holders. Does not mean they actually own or have a gun at that address. And map does not show owners of non-permited firearms like shotguns. Of course map has nothing to do with illegal weapons.
Simply an invasion of privacy for law abiding citizens.
Also, Newtown shooter would not be included if he lived there.
