In response to:
This means nothing. There are too many crazies out there to advertise that you are gun free. I don't think the list of gun owners should have been published either. Point is that this is all a distraction from the real question of whether there should be restrictions on large magazines and semi-automatic weapons. That should be a valid discussion that is getting lost in all this sideshow.
In light of the Journal News publishing the names and addresses of law abiding gun permit holders in New York's Westchester and Rockland counties, Project Veritas went around to the homes of Journal News editors to find out whether they were willing to put a "this home is proudly gun free" sign in their front yards. They all refused. Veritas also visited MSNBC's Toure who said although he supports gun control, he isn't willing to put up a sign. Toure is the same guy who said he has a right to know who gun permit holders are in his neighborhood.

The answer to that question is of course: NO!
The Journal News did nothing to advance or retard the weapon and magazine question, but they DID stick a knife in the backs of those citizens they have always despised ... legally permitted handgun owners.
There is no real question of whether there should be restrictions on large magazines and semi-automatic rifles except in the neurotic minds of the anti-gun people. There is no valid reason for such a discussion.
What's getting lost in all this is the real issue. Mental illness.
Blaming inanimate objects for the actions of criminals is irrational and doesn't belong in an honest discussion.
