Seeing that it is public information there isn't much of a law suit anyone could do.
I thought it was bad judgement on the part of the paper, they should not have published the names, it only added to the divisiveness and accomplished nothing.

I agree, but it is still public knowledge and they did nothing illegal.
Hmmm.... Afghanistan has shown the world how citizens can resist an invasion by the two most powerful counties in the world.
So maybe the citizens in the US should have the same weapons as the government.
Lolz. Well first of all they resisted the Soviets because we armed and trained them. Secondly, geography is a big factor. Lastly if we wanted to we could occupy and control the country indefinitely if we wanted to. Let's not go making things up here like they resisted us because of their awesome power. Quite a few a soldiers werent killed or injured by firearms but by IEDs.
And no average citizens don't need military hardware here in America. Stupid idea.
That is not the question I asked, the question is if someone uses this list to find out where to steal guns and they are used in the next massacre (or any crime for that matter) what are your thoughts on that?
This is not a far fetched question at all. If I'm seeking guns to steal certainly the place to start is list of people that own guns.
My second question is what benefit is there to anyone publishing this list?
Your guns should be in a secure area, like a gun safe, so they can't be stolen.
Why does a newspaper article need to benefit anyone? Maybe they were trying to make a point about rampant gun ownership in their community.
But if you scroll down that article you will see that only 34 % of Americans report that they own a gun. Household percentage is higher because someone might live with a person who owns a gun.

Why? It's legal. Do that with illegal stuff. Print the names of potheads and everyone will know where to steal weed.
