Obama would like to force all honest citizens to be unarmed, but in the absence of that he wants to make a national database – so that newspapers like the Journal News can expose all unprotected homeowners to criminals.
In December, The Journal News published a report and interactive map identifying the names and addresses of those who legally hold pistol permits in Westchester and Rockland counties.
NEW CITY, N.Y. — A bipartisan coalition of Rockland County legislators and political leaders announced their support Friday for state legislation that would limit access to gun permit information.
“Although the Journal News may have thought they were being well-intentioned, their actions have had obvious unintended consequences,” Rockland legislator Frank Sparaco said. “The Journal News, in their ill-conceived attempt to protect us from our friends and neighbors and to use the horrible events of the Newtown massacre to push a political agenda, has totally backfired.”
County Legislator Aron Wieder, brought a check and completed pistol-permit application to the press conference and presented it to county clerk Paul Piperato.
“I have never owned a gun, but now I have no choice,” Wieder said. “I have been exposed as someone who does not have a gun and I will do anything to protect my family.”

“Senator Dianne Feinstein,
I will not register my weapons should this bill be passed, as I do not believe it is the government’s right to know what I own…
…
I will not be disarmed to suit the fear that has been established by the media and your misinformation campaign against the American public.
We, the people, deserve better than you.

What will happen to the criminals when they show up at the house armed by individuals with unregistered guns? The Journal News is putting those criminals at tremendous risk.
Maybe they will get culled from the population 😉
