I know I am in the minority here,,don’t flame me. I’m a good Freeper.
I really don’t care if people know my name/addy and if I have a gun,, I hope they think I have a gun! It really doesn’t bother me a bit. I think gun owners should create a flag to fly on their property that says “Hell Ya,,I own weapons,,bring it!” I don’t see why this is intimidating.
Someone may want to point out to Gannet that while their interest is in exposing gun owners,,they are also exposing addresses who have no registered weapons and making those homes targets for those who are armed,,just wondering if they thought about that!
This is a classic Fascist intimidation tactic. You haven’t been intimidated (yet) but consider another variation...
Here in Washington state the left published the names and addresses of folks who signed petitions for a proposed referendum. The next thing the lefties did was to visit homes of signers and harass them - including many seniors who are more vulnerable than you or me.
There is no legitimate reason for any of this. There is no public interest being served. For them to do any of this is purely provocative and vindictive. It is harassment (even if you don’t personally feel harassed). It is another step in a program of intimidation. It needs to be met head-on.
Don’t lose sight of the forest for the trees.
Are you a woman who is being stalked by her ex? Were you raped and want your location protected? There are any number of reasons that someone wishes to keep their location private. Many gun owners don’t wish to have their home robbed specifically for the firearms that may be there. Besides, it’s nobodies F’n business what people have in their house!!! They haven’t broken any laws.
Such a list will be a gold mine for criminals looking to steal firearms. All they have to do is wait till the occupant leaves. I don't know about other places, but around here letting anyone know that you have guns is an open invitation to burglars.
