The editor of the New York newspaper that created a furor by publishing the names and addresses of gun-permit owners suddenly is out of a job.
According to the Rockland Times, a competitor to the Gannett-owned Rockland County Journal News, editor Caryn McBride is among the casualties of a recent purge at the Journal News.
The report said 17 journalists were among a total of 26 staff members at the Journal News who were let go.
It was the Journal News that in 2012 published the names and addresses of all gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties under the headline “Where are the gun permits in your neighborhood?”
The Times said police reports showed McBride had called the Clarkstown Police Department to notify them of a flood of angry phone calls and letters the newspaper received after it published the map.
The Rockland editor said she felt threatened by the complaints, but local police didn’t believe there was a credible threat. McBride and other executives then decided to hire armed guards to protect their property, the Times reported, “causing an uproar due to the perceived hypocrisy of the avowed anti-gun editors hiring gun-toting men.”
The layoffs were announced by the newspaper’s CEO, Janet Hasson.
The fallout from the decision to publish the names and addresses of gun-permit holders continued for weeks.
Two months ago, the White Plains-based newspaper admitted that the information it published was badly outdated. The paper acknowledged many people had a dot on their house, indicating there was a gun permit at that address, even though they didn’t own a gun.

She may be moving, lost job and all.
Give out her new address so we all can crap bomb her new abode.
Publish the names and addresses of all the reporters and editors at Gannett.
LOL, I didn't catch this part of the original story.
Hypocrite, oblivious leftists never fail to disappoint.
THAT would be justice now, WOULDN’T it ?
It was my suggestion regarding the Associated Press’ demand for a list of all gun permit holders in Montana or Wyoming a few weeks ago. The governor of the state simply said “No.”
Oh, you missed it! I’m sure the newspaper staff had a fun meeting when they learned their own addresses had been plotted on a map by a few folks on our side. I’m sure she lost all of her lunch buddies rather quickly. Just a small example of the way we should be fighting.

Just wait, she’s probably the replacement for Eric Holder.

Can we also talk about the anti-gun hollywood libiots and their hypocrisy, due to the same reason listed here?
Crickets chirping....
OTOH.. I'm sure the criminals in the area appreciated the helpful list of which homes were unarmed, when choosing a target for their crimes.
Serves her right to get the boot.
Has the paper been sued?
Buh-bye.
Quibble — no journalists were furloughed, just some partisan media shills.
Thanks SeekAndFind.
In today’s lousy newspaper market, it is doubtful if this editor will ever find a job in the business again.
