New York Pistol Permit Owner List Leaked 899
An anonymous reader writes "On Friday, The Journal News caved under pressure of gun advocates and shut down the interactive maps which contained the names and addresses of licensed gun owners in upstate New York. The maps are still visible on the site, however they are simply static images. The Journal News published the interactive maps on December 23 which caused significant backlash. In a similar move, Gawker published the names of licensed gun owners in New York City without addresses. New York state Senator Greg Ball (Republican) called the removal of the data a 'huge win.' On Saturday, an anonymous user leaked the raw data used to build The Journal News maps."

Remember, guns are your best protection against crime! But don't you dare tell anyone I have them because they attract crime!

And here I thought people bought guns to protect themselves against crime. I guess there are many things I still don't understand about guns.

It's true! <These> kill more children each year than pedophiles, so let's ban those!
To be fair, I don't think foot fetishists kill many children at all. It's kind of not their thing.
