Lawmakers in Connecticut – still stunned from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting – are moving forward with legislation that could make public the names and addresses of 170,000 handgun permit holders in the state.
The measure, introduced by state Rep. Stephen Dargan, is the latest effort to clamp down on guns in Connecticut. If passed, the bill would reverse a 20-year decision by state lawmakers to keep the personal information confidential. The legislation would make the information fair game under the state’s Freedom of Information Act.
Dargan told FoxNews.com on Friday the measure was not intended to pit gun control activists and pro-gun groups against each other. Instead, it’s “to get a broader discussion going on gun issues and mental health in the state.”
Critics say being able to obtain the names and addresses of gun permit holders is an invasion of privacy, but others argue that people in the community have the right to know who owns a gun and who does not.
In December, an upstate New York newspaper came under fire for publishing the names and addresses of gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties. The story inspired heated reactions among readers and gun groups, who traded jabs by posting personal information about the newspaper’s employees online.
The actions highlight a growing backlash against gun owners after a string of shooting in the last five years, which includes the massacres at Virginia Tech and at a Colorado movie theatre.
Since the Newtown, Conn., shooting last month, gun owners across the country say they have been vilified and ostracized. Many argue lawmakers are using what happened in Newtown to advance their own political agenda, but Dargan says it’s not true.
“Obviously, something needs to be done,” he said. .”

This is the reason why registration is entirely WRONG.
Gun ownership is supposed to anonymous.

Question #1 to all gun ban folks.
How would these have prevented Newton?
They wouldn´t.
Adam Lanza was barred by gun laws from owning. He got them anyway.
What's the occasion down under?
When are the names and addresses of all of the “lawmakers” going to be made public?
I have a job there. Check out my profile page. At least I’m in the QANTAS lounge kicking back with some Chablis and entertaining myself on my laptop. Flight leaves at 9pm getting in to Brisbane at 6am Sunday. Then another puddle jumper to Charleville.
Lawmakers in Berlin -still shocked by the burning of the Reichstag- are determined to move forward with legislation that could make public the names and addresses of 170,000 Jews living in the capitol city of Berlin.
The measure, introduced by state Rep. Herr Stephen Dargan, is the latest effort to clamp down on Jewish treachery in the Reich. If passed, the bill would reverse a 20-year decision by state lawmakers to keep the personal information confidential. The legislation would make the information fair game under the state’s Freedom of Information Act.
Herr Dargan told FoxNews.com on Friday the measure was not intended to loyal nazi activists and Synagogues against each other. Instead, it’s “to get a broader discussion going on Jewish loyalty issues and mental health in the state.”
Critics say being able to obtain the names and addresses of Jews is an invasion of privacy, but others argue that people in the community have the right to know when a neighborhood is infested with dangerous disease carrying rats, and which areas are safe.
In December, a Bavarian newspaper came under fire for publishing the names and addresses of Jews in the Dachau community area north or Munich. It was feared they may intergere with homeland security operations in that particular area. The story inspired heated reactions among readers and Jews, who traded jabs by posting personal information about the newspaper’s employees online.
The actions highlight a growing backlash against Jews owners after a string of incidents highlighting their greed and disloyalty in the last five years.
Since the Reichstag fire last month, Jews across the country say they have been vilified and ostracized. Many argue lawmakers are using what happened in Berlin to advance their own political agenda, but Herr Dargan says it’s not true.

I doubt if the lawmakers will want to face the wrath of 170K permittees.

Critics say being able to obtain the names and addresses of Jews is an invasion of privacy, but others argue that people in the community have the right to know when a neighborhood is infested with dangerous disease carrying rats, and which areas are safe, so why shouldn't they be allowed to know about other threats such as Jews?
In December, a Bavarian newspaper came under fire for publishing the names and addresses of Jews living in the Dachau community area, slightly north of Munich. It was feared they may interfere with a unique reich homeland security operation in that particular area.

THAT is absolute bullish-t!!
These bastards are begging for a damn civil war.
I don’t live in Connecticut, but if I did, and harm came to my loved ones because of this nonsense.... well.... I would show no quarter.
For crying out loud, it feels like our country has been invaded.
Doesn’t this make anyone without a gun permit a sitting duck to be robbed... or worse? I mean, really???
Well done!
I'd also like to see how many people are collecting disability because they carry the HIV virus. I'm pretty sure public supported County Heath Departments have the information.
How many liberal papers will bite?
