Newspaper Publishes Gun Owners' Names and Addresses
A newspaper in New York has received a wave of criticism from its readers
after publishing the names and addresses of all of the individuals with
handgun or pistol permits in its coverage area.
Hundreds of residents in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties were
surprised to find their names and addresses listed on a map posted by The
Journal News on Sunday. Users can click any dot on the map to see which of
their neighbors has a permit for a gun.
The map sparked more than 500 comments from readers within a day of its
appearance on the website, many of them voicing outrage at the paper's
decision to make the information public.
"This is CRAZY!! why in the world would you post every licensed gun owner
information?? What do you hope to accomplish by doing this. This is the type
of thing you do for sex offenders not law abiding gun owners. What next?
should i hang a flag outside my house that says I own a gun? I am canceling
my subscription with your paper today!!!" said commenter Curtis Maenza.
"How about a map of the editorial staff and publishers of Gannett and
Journal News with names and addresses of their families…," wrote commenter
George Thompson.
All of the names and addresses were compiled through public records. The
paper also requested the information from Putnam County, which is still
compiling the records for publication, according to The Journal News'
website.
In a statement to ABC News, The Journal News said its readers "are
understandably interested to know about guns in their neighborhoods,"
because of the conversation about gun control on its website after the
shooting in Newtown, Conn., last week.
"We obtained the names and addresses of Westchester and Rockland residents
who are licensed to own handguns through routine Freedom of Information law
requests. We also requested information on the number and types of guns
owned by permit holders, but officials in the county clerks offices in
Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties maintained that those specifics
were not public record," the statement read.
"New York's top public-records expert, Robert Freeman, disagrees," it added.
The paper declined to answer further questions about the map. | C*******r
发帖数: 10345 | 2 Since it's also public record: Publisher of The Journal News is Janet Hasson
, Editor is Cyndee Royle, 1133 Westchester Ave., Suite N110, White Plains,
NY 10604, 914-694-9300. Please pass along on FB, Twitter, etc. The newspaper
is owned by Gannett. A listing of some of the newspapers largest
advertisers would be a great public service | C*******r

发帖数: 1397 | 5 这事大约四五年前我参加gun safety training的时候，trainer就提过。当时也是大骂
，说Westchester county干这种事还可以想象 - 毕竟有那么多NYC搬出来的二逼么 -
Rockland county也有人这么干，真是没想到。报纸上公布的有pistol permit的，很多
都是警察，法官，和其他执法人员。
【在 g***y 的大作中提到】
: good job! 现在打劫的知道那些地址不该去了。
