NY paper releases names and addresses of every registered gun owner in 2 counties

[concise]

THIS GUARANTEES THAT SOME OF THOSE HOMES ARE GOING TO BE BROKEN INTO, THEIR GUNS WILL BE STOLEN, AND THOSE WEAPONS WILL BE USED IN VIOLENT CRIMES, BROTHER!

HOLLYWOOD'S NOT AN N.R.A. MEMBER, BUT HE WISHES ANTI-GUN PEOPLE WOULD THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW GUNS ARE ILLEGALLY OBTAINED IN THE FIRST PLACE, DUDE!

Journal News gun permit map used by burglars to target White Plains home?

A White Plains residence pinpointed on a controversial handgun permit database was burglarized Saturday, and the burglars' target was the homeowner's gun safe.

At least two burglars broke into a home on Davis Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Saturday but were unsuccessful in an attempt to open the safe, which contained legally owned weapons, according to a law enforcement source. One suspect was taken into custody, the source said.

The gun owner was not home when the burglary occurred, the source said. The victim, who is in his 70s, told Newsday on Sunday that he did not want to comment while the police investigation continues.

GOOD THING HE BOUGHT A DECENT SAFE AND USES IT, BROTHER!

HOLLYWOOD'S NOT NECESSARILY AN ANTI-GUN GUY, BUT HE WISHES MORE GUN OWNERS WOULD THINK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW GUNS ARE ILLEGALLY OBTAINED FROM THEIR HOMES, DUDE! YOU MAY THINK YOU NEED THE SHOTGUN LOADED UNDER THE BED, BUT THAT'S THE FIRST PLACE I'M LOOKING IF I'M ROBBING YOU, MEAN GENE!

the way everybody barks about needing guns you would think it would be more like 15 out of 23 people who had a legally registered firearm

N.Y. News Outlet That Posted Names Of Gun Owners Hires Armed Guards : The Two-Way : NPR

I was a reporter at a newspaper a few years back and one of our op-ed guys did this and it had the exact same outcome. Dude began getting threats and needed security to come to work. This info can be found through FOIA, but it's a very slimy, political move to make.

who cares? if my name was on a list like this, maybe you'd avoid my house.

NOT REALLY. IT JUST LET'S ANYONE INTERESTED KNOW WHAT YOU MAY HAVE INSIDE. HALF THE IMPACT OF HAVING A FIREARM IS THE SURPRISE. IF I KNOW YOU HAVE A FIREARM I'D SHOOT YOU AS SOON AS I SAW YOU.

If I were a criminal, I would simply go to any house NOT on that list. Bring my firearms to your house and have happy robbing/hunting. All the robbers say, "Yeah! This makes our job easier!"

Exactly. this makes it more dangerous for those NOT on the list.
