The New York State Supreme Court last week granted a motion ordering the New York City Police Department (NYPD) to turn over the name, zip codes and license category of anyone who was granted a firearm license in 2018.
The New York Daily News made the request under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request process, which provides public information from government agencies to citizens and journalists.
...
The Daily News argues that the information can be turned over because of a state law – known as the SAFE Act – that declared "that names and addresses of all firearms licenses were public information."
...
The NYPD denied the request on multiple occasions, citing various reasons, like an "invasion of privacy" and "extraordinary effort" would have to be put forth to collect the records.
....
The court concluded that the department violated the FOIL.

There is absolutely no reason for the Daily News to have the names of gun owners and what type of firearm they possess. There is no good that can come out of that. What purpose does it serve other than to doxx or shame those who choose to protect themselves with a gun?
This case right here is what gun owners have been worried about: the ability to create a registry, which could eventually lead to confiscation.

This is a list of folks the Marxists should avoid.
Can we get a list of welfare recipients?
If you don't yet own a firearm, GET ONE!
This lawlessness will only get worse once Trump is reelected.
Joe told me to look at history for that answer.
The opening lines of the DoI are a pretty good history lesson.
Thanks george!

That’s the Day you have the gun for, brother.
Make them cry.
This is one major reason I have always refused to apply for a CCL.
Same here.
We have a right to say what the state and local government allows and shows we favor its leaders and social justice causes such as BLM.
We have a right to bear arms if leftist mayors, governors, councils and judges decide we can for the moment, subject to revocation without notice.
We have a right to worship a black martyr on our knees with our head bowed or to humbly show subservience to BLM as idolatry but not to worship God in a church or synagogue or prayer gathering without the permissions of governors, mayors and state legislative bodies in case they declare any form of emergency or health crisis.
Is there a way we can get on a raft to make it to a free country somewhere? We're stuck in America now. Until Civil War II.
Oh heck nah...
I remember that cunning stunt
This is when NY citizens start doxxing people who work for the New York Daily News. ANY and all public information on these pukes needs to be published on the web.
How can this possibly be legal?
Not legal nor Constitutional.
The BLM arsonists do not care.
How is this constitutional?
Criminal government on open display.

Time to list the names, addresses, phone numbers and work addresses of every NY Daily News leader/employee/stockholder, and major advertisers.
Why not? Two can play this game and we need to play baseball with lead bats, 6 inch sharp shoe spikes, and play it on the internet. Anonymous fliers wouldn’t hurt either - with photos when possible.
To the NYDN - FEAR THE TRUTH. FEAR EXPOSURE!
“Is Arizona Better?”

Better in the sense that they have Constitutional Carry.
So does Maine, a state where Bloomturd tried to steal our right to privately purchase firearms in 2016 thorough a ballot initiative on the November ballot.
Bloomturd lost. The people of Maine told Bloomturd to screw off. He and Shannon Watts can both croak from the Chinese virus for all I care.
How about FOIA for names and address of judges and their judicial employees. Maybe all court and legislative officers, The Latter especially as they are the ones who set up this law.
