What can nosey neighbors do when they learn the guy next door owns a firearm? Because gun ownership is legal there's nothing legal they can do. But they can start a whispering campaign, shun the gun owner in public, and sic their children on the armed neighbor's kids. They could picket and put signs in their yards. That's what the Journal News hopes to accomplish: run gun owners out of the state by stigmatizing them. This is all in the spirit of Obamaism—mob rule.

Or a neighbor with a grudge can simply file an order of protection against you by claiming you threatened him. YOU have to answer the charges, YOUR gun permit is immediately suspended, YOUR guns are then confiscated.
