The liberal media have become increasingly vocal about gun control in recent weeks, but this weekend, they sank to a new low. The Journal News, a suburban New York newspaper, has published an interactive map that pinpoints all handgun permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties.
This is unacceptable, inexcusable, dangerous and disgusting. http://t.co/dxFzpvCt #WAR

Not only has the Journal News blatantly violated gun owners’ personal privacy, but they have also put the public at risk. Gun rights advocates are rightly furious:

They publish the homes that have licensed firearms. Will they be responsible for crimes caused by stolen weapons? http://t.co/mgZtp3Rx

Awful MT @KatiePavlich: @lohud is treating law abiding gun owners like convicted sex offenders. Unfreaking real. http://t.co/lDX3c7Nz

@DanRiehl I would be livid if I was a homeowner without a gun permit. No longer would be safe. Map also shows the vulnerable by omission!

@8541Tactical the only reason that map is published is to intimidate gun owners….disgusting!!!!!

@ChrisLoesch @KatiePavlich Good Lord! If my station did that garbage, I would protest, or quit. How incredibly unethical/irresponsible!

It’s downright disgusting. Is it any wonder legal gun owners fear their constitutional right to defend themselves will be taken away?
You people are sick! I'm VERY against forced gun registration because of the Gestapo like these tool-> http://t.co/mgZtp3Rx

I am against any paperwork beyond the 2nd amendment for me to legally own and bear any arms any way I want.

An excellent argument against any and all licensing requirements for gun ownership. http://t.co/wKzqC9dX

Shame on the Journal News. We pray for the safety of all those now at risk thanks to the newpaper’s pathetic, sickening excuse for journalism.
