New York newspaper to list more gun permit holders after uproar

NEW YORK (Reuters) - A suburban New York newspaper that sparked an uproar among gun enthusiasts by publishing names and addresses of residents holding pistol permits is now planning to publish even more identities of permit-toting locals.

Further names and addresses will be added as they become available to a map originally published on December 24 in the White Plains, New York-based Journal News, the newspaper said.

The original map listed thousands of pistol permit holders in suburban Westchester and Rockland counties just north of New York City.

Along with an article entitled "The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood," the map was compiled in response to the December 14 shooting deaths of 26 children and adults in Newtown, Connecticut, editors of the Gannett Corp.-owned newspaper said.

Do they want to get put out of business? I haven’t read one account of people supporting them in this.

Exactly. Once a liberal is stuck on stupid, they're REALLY stuck on stupid.

Pictures of their houses. Car license numbers. Gossip on who’s screwing who. Lots of ways to play their games.

And I can assume this paper will also publish those who practiced freedom of speech and freedom of religion next?

Let's start aggressively and loudly lobbying that permits be required to exercise First Amendment rights, with the same requirements as that state demands for firearm ownership and carry.

In New Jersey you'd have to "prove a need" to speak or worship freely...

Wake me up when they start publishing addresses of illegal gun owners. Not to mention weapons that aren’t guns. I have an extensive collection of knives, some of which may be illegal, who knows? Come on over to my place.

luckily, nobody really reads newspapers anymore.

It's on the world-wide-web...

Map: Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?

It would be useful to post the name and address of every armed security person employed by all the elites who want to disarm the law-abiding citizens. Yeeessss!!!!!

This may sound sick, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this newspaper staff are purposely provoking some sort of physical incident, just to say, “See? They are all nuts!! Now can we ban gun ownership?”.

I am trying to figure out what the big deal is?

I have a sign as you approach my front and back door that reads:

"The owner of this property is armed. There is nothing inside worth risking your life for."

All my neighbors like the sign and I have no solicitors.

I thought it was difficult to get a permit in NY.

If this is true it would seem like people who have been denied or haven’t made the effort because they thought it would be hard, now can say so-in-so has one, why can’t I.

Therefore I would anticipate the issuing of new permits to soar.

I’ll tell you this sucks...because there shouldn’t BE any “gun permits” being issued and it shouldn’t be anyone’s business if you have a firearm for protection. Time to push back and start working to repeal gun laws on the books.

"Right now I would settle for one of Hussein's super-secret golf scores."

I'd be good with it if Hussein played golf everyday with tewo caveats:
1. No wrtiting executive orders on the side and...
2. Hire someone to dress his wife decently and stop embarrassing the nation with the hip hop fashion:

Since carry permits are extremely hard to come by in New York, if I was a burglar, the newspaper gave me a great Christmas gift - a shopping list of where to find guns (and more likely more than just a handgun) which are pretty easy to dispose of on the street for cash.

But let’s take it to the proper side of the street - odds are that quite a few of those handgun owners bought a handgun because of some threat. In browsing some of the names on there, many were in published domestic disputes or victims of crime. Their addresses were not easily available until the newspaper published them on their website.

It’s open season for stalkers, their prey exposed for more harassment, all because people thought ‘gosh, a gun registry can’t be all that bad, right? It’s not like it’s published...’

There is no ‘reasonable accommodation’ with liberals, ever. They’ve been trying to get the guts to do this for decades; look at the way they fought AIDS registries - they didn’t want homosexuals exposed like they intended on exposing gun owners.

Now, you have to burn the records and the HDD and the back ups and the off site backups...and the technicians who know how to retrieve them...
