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.

Yes.
Now Justice Roberts and his votes have caused him to replace Alfred Hitchcock as the new "Master of Suspense."
Will he undercut us or uphold the Constitution? Nail biter.

Yes, please add me to your list. Thanks.
Which is why I never got a gun while living in NYS.
Theyve never given me reason to trust them.
Can we get a list of welfare recipients?
But as to the how this can be legal part, “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.”
This is the same law that banned magazines holding more than seven rounds, pretty much outlawed evil black rifles, etc. etc. That is, the NY legislature specifically passed a law making names and addresses of firearm license owners public information.
Hey N.Y.- F.U
Thanks.
Make them cry.
You know I will. I’ll take out many, many more before they get to me. I’m just a nice getting old guy. Everybody’s good in my eye, until they’re not. When they’re not...I’m ready. They give you many clues.
Thanks, NFHale.
“...nice getting old guy...”
Chuckle... us old guys have a lot of skillsets... enough to cause nightmares.
Never register your guns no matter what.
On the whole, I'd rather the bad guys guess I was armed than know I wasn't.
Watch for burglaries to increase 800%.
That and tragic boating accidents.
Back when Clinton was president, they instituted a “registry” of sorts. You had to fill out a form that went to the FBI (yeah that FBI). He told the country that those forms were to be held for 30 days and then destroyed. Janet Reno concurred. The same Janet Reno and Eric Holder that killed a bunch of people in Waco.
Good point.
