This is a ridiculous and ignorant choice by the paper. I have family members that are gun owners and the reality is Adam Lanza was able to do what he did because he had access to guns, he was mentally unstable, and worst of all, he had a perfect plan and no one knew about it.

A choice like this is going to backfire and put the newspaper's employees in danger. I understand freedom of speech and the press but this is uncalled for

It is only a controversial issue because gun owners make it controversial.

I don't think the newspaper should of done it, but if the outrage from the right never happened, no one in the country would of known this was even published....which I am sure no one realized it was easy access public information.

Are you saying people should keep their mouths shut about unethical doings lest more people find out about it?
