New York Paper Publishes List of People with Gun Permits

Oh no!Dam I looked and didn't see it posted. sorry

some pinkos are well armed, brah.

I doubt criminals spend much time reading the newspaper, at least not the type that do burglaries. Not the sharpest tools in the shed.

I wonder what the rationale is that the paper used to print this. Gannet is one of the shittier newspaper outfits, killing off local papers one by one. In five years Alex/Monroe/Shreve/Laffy will have the same paper, Louisiana Today, and Gannet will have laid off every reporter, turning them into freelancers for $90 per article, instead of salaried employees.

I wonder if the paper took into account that some of these people bought guns to protect themselves from crazy exes and were trying to stay under the radar and this paper just gave out their address. Knowing that having a gun in the house MAY stop an honest person, but someone looking to do bad things are going to do what they want.

So the blogger is upset that a media outlet exercising their 1st Amendment Rights has somehow violated the privacy of an individual for exercising their 2nd Amendment Rights?

So much fail

There was a blogger that posted the names and addresses of the reporters and editors from the new paper. LINK

seems a little reckless, but tit for tat I suppose

The paper here in Memphis did this with CC permit holders a few years ago.

To me the paper is essentially trying to label the people registered for guns about the same as a sex offender.

Good for the blogger listing the execs of that paper.

Looks like we have an ongoing war in New York...

The Journal News is at the center of controversy yet again. Now a hacker group has broken into the newspaper's database and is disseminating the names, addresses, and passwords of thousands of the Journal News' customers.

In December, the Westchester, New York area paper released the names and addresses of thousands of New York's legal gun owners, then threatened to publish even more in the near future.

After the local New York paper published the names and addresses of gun owners in Rockland County in an online interactive map, bloggers responded by posting the names and addresses of the employees of the Journal News.

The paper then hypocritically hired armed guards to patrol its offices over what it claimed were "threatening" emails it had received.

The Journal News also announced late in December that it would continue politicizing the names and addresses of New York gun owners and began the process of obtaining the names and addresses of gun owners in nearby Putnam County. But county officials there have balked, refusing to give the paper the requested information.

"There is the rule of law, and there is right and wrong and the Journal News is clearly wrong," Putnam County Clerk Dennis Sant said in a statement. "I could not live with myself if one Putnam pistol permit holder was put in harm's way, for the sole purpose of selling newspapers."
In the latest development in this tit-for-tat invasion of privacy, a group of hackers have announced that they've broken into the Journal News' subscriber database. The group is sending the database of customers' names, addresses, and passwords to anyone that requests it.

Some of this database appears to be on the file sharing site called Pastebin, and many are tweeting about the release of information.

We here at Breitbart News will not post the names, addresses, and passwords of the customers of the Journal News, as that information is not public record.

Most won't, but there are always some that will and in that liberal state you have no idea what they will try.
