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

[concise]

Since everything is public nowadays I don't see whats wrong with this I mean If you look up someones name on the internet it shows you where they live, where they use to live, how much they bought their house, voter registration etc etc. So this aint shyt

Plus its good for the gun owners too if you think about it

But you'd have to at least have a name to search, correct?

That's not the NEWSpapers responsibility though....they are supposed to report the NEWS.

Did any of these people shoot anyone in the past 2 weeks? Get in any gun battles? Be in the news for any other reason besides that they own guns?
No.

Therefore, none of these people are NEWSworthy and thus they are not relevant. If you are concerned that much about the gun ownership or the convicted sexual predators in your hood the databases are there fore you, but that's not the papers job to print people NAMES and ADDRESSES of totally regular people...like i said its irresponsible.
You would never see the New York Times or the Washington Post print out the names of gun owners like that. I'm usually all for press transparency and things of the sort but there is a line that should not be crossed.

I can't say I disagree with the bolded but I don't think this will have any real impact of the individuals who own the guns in those places. There tens of thounsands of them who were listed so I don't see the issue.

But you'd have to at least have a name to search, correct?

Yeah that is true.

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!

That shyt is fukked up.

What if someone is applying for a job. The employer is a strong anti-gun advocate and decides to run the persons name through this list.

Why are they trying to force their opinions on other people cause they're trying to protect themselves.

But How exactly would the employer even know if the person applying for the job is on this list? Like I said above there's thousands of people in that list. Plus if he really wanted to find out if the person is a gun owner the Employer would be able to do that without this list.

It's still gay though. Newspaper should stick to the news and stay out of this.

now for those on the list, what is the criteria for owning? backsground check. what about sanity check? anger management check? etc what is the revocational process to stop owning if sanity/anger/etc check goes awry?

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

Didn't some anonymous guy leak like the whole news paper staffs information?

 

[Mr Uncle Leroy]

why would owners make the article creator a psuedo target when they registered they knew what they were doing was/going to be public...unless if article creator is preaching to choir

 

[Aizen]

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!"
