Privacy? No way! - EA3 - 12-26-2012 01:56 PM

Example of how the media took this too far?
The original article and map are above.
There are follow up stories all over the national news.
If I was a criminal, I'd cross reference every house on that map to see if they have a gun.

After spending a few minutes looking at the interactive map...I've concluded that way way way more people own guns than I originally thought.

Someone needs to start a blog with the addresses of those in the media.

No need to, CD. Numerous websites have already outed the personal info of the mentally deficient at that 'newspaper' and put it on the web. Even used the same rationale as the newspaper - it is public info, after all.
What's more, is that the author of the article and map is a gun owner, but neglected to put HIS OWN personal info out there on the map.
Just have to Alinsky the Alinskyites a few times before they begin to understand that their tactics are slimy and dangerous.

What is the difference. Want to rob a gun? Pick a house, any house. There is a gun in pretty much any house.
And the rationale is if you have a gun you can shoot the robber. So a business opportunity for the shooter home defenders to get some use from their arsenal.
If I were on that list, I would rush out and get a couple spare clips, just in case. Wouldn't want to be caught short of ammo.

That's actually happening now, sales are booming.
