A lawsuit has been filed against The Journal News by a business that claims its reputation suffered after the newspaper published an interactive map of licensed gun owners in the area, following the massacre in Newtown, Conn. First Impression LLC is a gift shop and interior design firm located in Katonah. They sued both The Journal News and its corporate parent Gannett Co. in Westchester County Court. In the Summons with Notice, the gift shop accuses the newspaper of “falsely…publicly stating in the interactive website www.lohud.com that plaintiff First Impression LLC is a licensed handgun owner.” They are represented by McDermott and McDermott of Somers, N.Y. and claim to have lost business since the publishing of their company’s name on the map.

That’s nothing compared to the lawsuit they’re going to get when a battered woman with a restraining order or an ex-cop is killed because they published their names and addresses.

I’m wondering why the journal NEEDS a modern high-speed printing press. When the framers wrote the Constitution, a press was hand-powered and newspaper publishing was a short run business. The framers never contemplated electricity, or the ability to print tens, or hundreds of thousands, or millions of copies a day. The framers never contemplated next day national distribution. The framers never contemplated the Internet or the ability of the government to aggregate private records and to make them searchable in seconds.

Good someone is finally suing the stupid liberal media.the media causes most of the problems we have

Why don’t we all sue the stupid news media for making us all believe that if congress didn’t tax the rich that the U.S.A would go over a cliff (”fiscal cliff”).? or sue them for a million other lies that have taken away our rights, liberty and opportunity?
