Media Publishes Map of Legal Gun Permit Holders; This WIll Backfire

Posting a map of legal gun-permit holders only serves to show the unarmed. This will not be pretty.

In their ham-handed attempt to seek to publicly shame legal gun-permit holders in New York State, the anti-gun folks have posted a map detailing the homes, (in Westchester, Rockland, and Putnam Counties), where these legal gun permit-holders live. In doing so, they have only succeeded in endangering the homes of non-gun-permit holders.

Congratulations, liberal knee-jerk anti-gun media! You have made it easier for criminals to terrorize the non gun permit-holding citizens of said counties.

For shame, for shame.

What will you say the first time a house wherein you have made sure to inform that there is no legal gun-permit holder residing is burgled, or worse, the target of a home invasion? Exactly.

This pathetic attempt on your part to shame legal gun-holders will backfire. You have not brought attention to legal gun-holders. You have brought attention to the unarmed. These people are now essentially sitting-ducks. Again, Congratulations!

My advice to the fine folks of these afflicted counties in New York State, who do not happen to legally own a firearm is simple: Get a legal gun for your houses. There is now a target on them, thanks to the anti-gun media.
