FTA: "According to police reports on public record, Journal News Rockland Editor Caryn A. McBride was alarmed by the volume of “negative correspondence,” namely an avalanche of phone calls and emails to the Journal News office, following the newspaper’s publishing of a map of all pistol permit holders in Rockland and Westchester."

Could be that Janet Hassen is merely bucking for a Pulitzer by any means necessary.. BTW, what is the position of the Printers' union as well as the IBEW (the people who maintain the presses)and the union that represents the drivers on this debacle (Teamsters?)?

News flash of what should be common sense: Just because you can do something does not mean you should. While understand there are good arguments for all permits being public info, publishing them in this manner is not a good idea.

These 2 bitches need some serious payback.

I’m talking digging into their backgrounds. Have they ever been arrested? Have they ever filed bankruptcy? Ever been involved with drugs? DUI maybe? Divorced? How many times? Family issues? Oh, and where exactly do they live? Do they have pets? Do they have children? Where do they go to school? Is that school public or private? Ever owned a gun??? How bout your spouse? Or is he too much of a wimp?

I say we expose these bitches on EVERY avenue we can then publish it. Teach them and their ilk a lesson. It’s payback!

The publisher fails to understand that their First Amendment rights are protected by the Second Amendment. Do away with the Second Amendment and the administration will impose free speech censorship on those who oppose them. Check your history books on this.

Mistake No. 3: The map! Why would anybody protest being placed on the Journal News “interactive” maps? These things are balky, slow and unhelpful in every way imaginable. Citizens may just as easily file their own records requests as click around on the Journal News gun-map page.

It's impossible for somebody to be this obtuse and not know it. Why yes, Mister Washington Post, I think I'll ignore that map and write my own FoIA request for some semi-random area completely previously unknown to me. Then, after however many number of weeks it takes for that data to get to me, I'll type them into some map program one at a time to see what that particular house is like, and then I'll "look around" the neighborhood as well. There's an interactive map, you say? Thank you, but no -- there are some things a man has to do by himself.
