Gun Control: A different set of gun laws applies to network anchors, but even stranger is a newspaper publishing a map showing not only who has a firearm but also telling predators who doesn't.
It should have been sufficient for the Gannett-owned Journal News, headquartered in White Plains, N.Y., reporting on increased calls for stricter gun control in the wake of the Sandy Hook massacre in nearby Newtown, Conn., to have noted that about 44,000 people in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties in the Lower Hudson Valley — one of every 23 adults — was licensed to own a handgun.
But using data obtained under a Freedom of Information Act request, the paper went further and printed an interactive map showing the names and addresses of gun permit holders — a pathetic attempt to shame and embarrass them for exercising their Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms.
In an editor's note accompanying the map, it's pointed out that Journal News reporter Dwight R. Worley hypocritically owns a Smith & Wesson 686.357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon. It is not known if his house is one marked on the map, but at least he can post a "Protected by Smith & Wesson" sign.
Hypocrisy among those supporting more gun control is nothing knew — from the liberal elites who live in gated communities to Hollywood and music industry stars who travel with armed entourages. Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California is readying legislation to Yet, as radio talk show host Mark Levin points out, Feinstein owns a concealed firearm. "If somebody tries to take me out," she says, "I'm going to take them with me." Seems her life matters more than those of her constituents.

And an old school tent. Anyone use these anymore, or have we all been seduced by the ease of the newer designs? I can put up my small Coleman in under five minutes, in the dark, no tools... But sometimes I look at these big old canvas monsters and wonder...

“Hypocrisy of Liberals Who Cling to Their Guns”
Liberal Hypocrisy isn’t the problem.
The problem is that too many people vote for them.
IMHO
Elite ruling liberals often live in guarded gated communities.
Besides their gate guards having guns, there will be armed guys patrolling the property 24/7/365. Then many liberals like DiFi have C&C permits to go with their guns. It would be a safe bet that their drivers are well armed.
If they are members of a state or federal legislature, they meet other liberals in buildings with obviously armed guards and probably a lot of plain ctothed guards with legally concealed weapons.
More than likely if they have school aged children or grand kids, those off spring go to one of the 10,000 schools which have armed police officers at the school.
If we could take away their armed guards and concealed weapons, they would probably have a different outlook on an armed civilian adult population for rest of us.
