Police are investigating whether a White Plains, NY home break-in was the result of the homeowner being pinpointed on the handgun permit map recently published by a NY newspaper.
According to a Westchester/Rockland Newsday report, two burglars broke into the home and went for the safe that contained the owner’s guns. The victim, a man in his 70s, was not home at the time. The burglars were unable to open the safe, and one suspect was taken into custody.
The Journal News has been harshly criticized...

Shows a propensity for posting from a single source and a single “author”.
Also a tendency to post as “news”, and in excerpted form.
I’m thinking serial blogpimp here.
Self-promoting and shameless.
Sue them. Then sue them again. Then really sue them.
Include the advertisers. Keep at it until convention goes the way of tobacco lawsuits.

How did the paper get these addresses? (I’ve not been able to follow much news lately and searching for 3 letter words like ‘gun’ and/or ‘map’ doesn’t work on FR)
Harshly criticized...
Ya think?
Even a bad lawyer oughta be able to totally own them in a civil suit.
They are just as liable and complicit here as if they had published the names and addresses of people who had big screen TVs. Or large amounts of jewelry.
Spot on. The left has been trained to dispense with critical thinking and moral absolutes and instead based their thinking on moral relativity and "the ends justify they means" type thinking. So, for example, they can see 3,000 dead on 9/11 and say "it's tragic BUT.... if we hadn't blah blah blah". These people would look at this graphic and say "It's terrible that so many had to die BUT if they hadn't owned guns it would have never happened."
It's why the leftists worry me. Underneath their faux persona of "compassion" and "fairness" they are totalitarians who merely lack the power to crush our necks under their boots in the name of whatever "greater good" they come up with. But they are slowly taking that power while the right stands by without a champion wiling to challenge them. I fear it may just be a matter of time.
As a demonstration of the mindset, consider pulitzer prize winning reporter Walter Duranty, who witnessed first hand the forced starvation of millions in the Ukraine but covered it up and instead run stories of a Soviet utopia moving forward mightily with prosperity for all. When confronted with the reality of the horrible conditions he would acknowledge things might be bad but would deny the truth he himself witnessed about purges and forced famines. He'd just say "you have to break some eggs to make an omelet." In other words, starving millions is okay if it enables the state to meet their five year plan. This is the left.
It will if the conservatives use it as a political football instead of the constitutional issue.
This can be framed as a rich versus poor issue.
Living in a gated community with 24/7 security, children attend private school with security, and working in a secured building, I can see why the upper classes don't see a need for someone to own a gun.
