I sincerely disagree. I trust this man's methods:
There should be at least 30 years before your enemy can fight again. It is too late now for niceties and civilization. That is reality.

A newspaper in New York has received a wave of criticism from its readers after publishing the names and addresses of all of the individuals with handgun or pistol permits in its coverage area.
Hundreds of residents in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties were surprised to find their names and addresses listed on a map posted by The Journal News on Sunday. Users can click any dot on the map to see which of their neighbors has a permit for a gun.
The map sparked more than 500 comments from readers within a day of its appearance on the website, many of them voicing outrage at the paper's decision to make the information public.
"This is CRAZY!! why in the world would you post every licensed gun owner information?? What do you hope to accomplish by doing this. This is the type of thing you do for sex offenders not law abiding gun owners. What next? should i hang a flag outside my house that says I own a gun? I am canceling my subscription with your paper today!!!" said commenter Curtis Maenza.
"How about a map of the editorial staff and publishers of Gannett and Journal News with names and addresses of their families…," wrote commenter George Thompson.
All of the names and addresses were compiled through public records. The paper also requested the information from Putnam County, which is still compiling the records for publication, according to The Journal News' website.
In a statement to ABC News, The Journal News said its readers "are understandably interested to know about guns in their neighborhoods," because of the conversation about gun control on its website after the shooting in Newtown, Conn., last week. .

I agree! In World War One, it was FOOLISH of us to adopt the use of the machine gun amd the hand grenade! And in World War Two, the use of the Tank, Airplane, and Torpedo was utter folly. After all, our adversary used them, and we should never have sunk to their level.

A newspaper in Texas couldn't afford the ink and paper it would take to list all the gun owners here and would be forced to publish the short list of the hapless liberals in the state that choose not to own a firearm. I would like to see a newspaper publish that list.
That same thought occurred to me as well. With all those boating accidents and lost arms, who knows who has what?
Just because they aren’t registered doesn’t mean they don’t have one. Just sayin.....
Thanks for the info...posted on my FB page, will post again to “share” the info.
If you can, once your friend publishes it, could you ping your list, as well as Lucys to the article?
Thnx!! =)
No. Criminals aren't that stupid. They'll wait outside these addresses until everybody leaves to go to work and school, then break in to steal the guns (and whatever else they can grab).
The newspaper publisher that did this should expect severe repercussions at some unspecified date in the future.
That’s true, but according to the libs, we’d live in a utopia if the government handled everything.
Good one! Now the paper should publish a list of homes where there are no guns, so the thugs with illegal guns know whom to target.
Wow, those are great! People are rightfully ticked. I hope the idiot Democrats in Congress take note of the overwhelming reaction to their gun control schemes.
Thanks, GregNH.
From the link:
A blogger who retaliated against a New York newspaper that came under fire for identifying people with gun licenses in its circulation area explained on Thursday why he published the names and home addresses of the paper’s employees.
“Well, I just thought they were being hypocrites,” said Christopher Fountain on CNN’s “Early Start.” “In the aftermath of Newtown, it was obviously one tragedy, but somehow they were conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published.”

“... she could have just published the number of gun permits, which is actually quite small, if she wanted to show an issue that there are 2,000 legally registered guns in her county, fine,” he said.
“But the fact that they put the addresses — I’ve received e-mails from abused women who were under protective order and in hiding and they’re terribly afraid that now their names and addresses are all over the Internet and accessible through that map.”
“The media has been exposing, harassing personal details of people for a long time,” Fountain said. “I don’t believe I’m escalating, I believe I’m punching back.

Last night Laura Ingram on O”Reilly said we should not get down in the gutter with that newspaper.
I totally disagree with her and yelled at the TV. We need to be punching back until they stop what they are doing.
We can hit harder than them and should. That is what it will take to straighten this country out, not turning the other cheek.

Nicht Kleckern sondern Klotzen!
[approximately "Slug 'em, don't slap 'em"] per Generaloberst Heinz Wilhelm Guderian, Chief of the General Staff of the German Army during the final year of the war and primary archetect of the Blitzkrieg strategy that proved particularly successful during the earlier days of the war, especially against those armies which had remained grounded in the methods of the previous war.
The Herr Generaloberst was particularly fond of cheering his men on their merry way with the shouted cry of Fahrkarte bis zur Endstation! [Your ticket to the last station!] to his Panzertroops when they were roaring past him, meaning that they should go as far as they could. And so they did.
