Fox News reports that the home of a gun owner in White Plains, New York was burglarized after a New York newspaper published the names and addresses of gun owner. State senator Greg Ball said it appears the burglars may have used the newspaper’s map to target the residence.
Ball went on to say that the Journal News had put law abiding citizens in danger. "The Journal News has placed the lives of these folks at risk by creating a virtual shopping list for criminals and nut jobs," said Ball. He is introducing legislation to protect the names of New Yorkers who have obtained gun permits. And, he went on to say that the newspaper, whose parent company owns USA Today, is coddling terrorist.
The elderly resident was not at home at the time of the burglary fortunately. I wonder what would have happened if he had been?
It is interesting that the paper has hired armed guards for the entrance to their building because of all the negative feedback they have received. I don’t know if the guard’s names are on the published list. And, I wonder if they ever thought about what the criminals are going to do with the guns they steal? Maybe shoot someone at the paper?
