Gawker Publishes Complete 446-Page List of ‘All the ***h^les Who Own Guns in New York City’
The Blaze ^ | January 8, 2013 | Jason Howerton

Editor’s note: This post contains some strong language that may be offensive to some readers.

The website Gawker has outdone New York’s “Journal News” and published the names of all licensed gun owners in New York City. With the provocative headline, “Here Is a List of All the A**holes Who Own Guns in New York City,” John Cook provides a 446-page list of every licensed gun owner in NYC, obtained two-and-a-half years ago via a Freedom of Information Act request.

“Below is a 446-page list of every licensed gun owner in New York City…Because the NYPD is more interested in raping and/or eating ladies and spying on Muslims than it is in honoring public records law, the list contains only the names, and not the addresses, of the licensees,” Cook writes.

The Journal News sparked outrage when it published the names and addresses of pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties. The paper wanted to also publish the information of gun owners in Putnam County, N.Y., but so far the county has refused, saying providing the information would put the public in danger.

As Cook correctly points out, section 400.00 of the Penal Law of New York, entitled “Licenses to carry, possess, repair and dispose of firearms,” makes addresses of licensed gun owners public information. “The name and address of any person to whom an application for any license has been granted shall be a public record,” the law states....

Gawker. Isn’t that another hipster gossip site run by metrosexuals?

Why do they have their panties in a bunch?

If by “metrosexuals” you mean screaming queens, then yes, it is.

Maybe it’s just me, but people liked Cook appear to be more likely to start a mass shooting than any of the people on that list.

Anyone wanna bet there are some names missing from that list?

Someone needs to crosscheck with known libs who carry...the ‘elite’ types.

Here is their tips website. We could tie it up with GFY e-mails. I have been doing that.

Metrosexuals are just males who do not want to be called homosexuals (which they really are).

The White House may have a hand in this and may have influenced the Journal News’ published list. The tactic is to demonize people who believe in gun rights. Obama won't do that directly but he can get the news media, Hollywood and his surrogates—like Cuomo and Gabby Giffords—to say it for him. This is the same tactic used against Wall Street, physicians, policemen, business people and Republicans.

We'll soon be hearing that gun rights defenders are “racists.”

Good. Let them keep right on dividing their support into ever smaller blocs.

Because lotsa libs own guns, though we like to say they don’t.

Funny how gun owners are automatically “assholes”, while Moslems’ sensibilities must be protected.

Hi, I’m Reverend Norm of the Church of Controllable Recoil. I hereby baptize every gun owner into my new non denominational organization. We believe in the 2nd Amendment.

As a member you are now entitled to be an oppressed minority.

Start Suein’ ;)

Howard Stern is on the list but, Bo Dietl is not, you’d think he’d be licensed to carry.

I think a good search would find MANY modern celeb/popular/political libs not on that list. But I’ll bet they would show up on the real one.

Is Bill Mahr?

Wow... I don't remember that on Kojack.
