Law Abiding Indiana Gun Owners Treated Like Sex Offenders

My politically minded boss just got this email from the NRA. Basically it says that anyone in Indiana who has a gun permit will be mapped out on a registry similar to that of the Sex Offender Registry. It's not just for the city of Bloomington or Monroe County, but the list covers the whole state.

Bloomington, Indiana Herald-Times Treats Law-Abiding Gun Owners like Registered Sex Offenders!
Please Contact the Bloomington Herald-Times!


On November 30, 2009, the Bloomington Herald-Times made the following announcement:

“This week, HeraldTimesOnline.com will launch its new gun permit database. You’ll be able to search gun permit records by county, city or town and street.”

The Herald-Times has begun receiving calls and emails, and their response is a defiant defense of their online gun permit database.



Anyone who visits the newspaper website will be able to search the number of permits on a given street or neighborhood. Although at this point the names and house numbers are not listed, the newspaper’s website treats law-abiding Indiana gun owners like sex offenders on a searchable database.



It is NRA's firm belief that there is no public good served by the publishing or cataloguing private citizens’ gun ownership information, and that more harm is done by such an action. Law-abiding Hoosiers should not be subjected to the same treatment as sex offenders, and if the newspaper won’t listen to their constituents and customers, then NRA Members and Indiana gun owners should send a financial message by cancelling their subscriptions to the Bloomington Herald-Times.



Please contact the Bloomington Herald-Times to respectfully voice your displeasure at the irresponsible action the newspaper has made.

great, so tell all the bad guys which neighborhood is the least armed. did the mafia take over the papers in Indiana?

 

[GBurr]

Another reason to not register your weapons.

 

[Pericles]

that is what happens in a society when owning an firearm is practically a crime, because a strident minority wants to make it a crime.

Release the Hounds!

Time to release all of the personal information relating to every employee of Bloomington, Indiana Herald-Times, beginning with the Executives.

Insane.

Criminals then only need to verify you don't have a gun before they come rob you. This will improve their safety at the expense of the general public.

Wait, they will also know where to rob guns when people are away. They get the best of both worlds with this deal.

Coming from a newspaper who should give some thought process before doing something this stupid.

This is exactly why I say, only a criminal would want, or vote on any gun law.

I agree with GBurr-Buy unregistered guns. I will only ad, buy lots of them and a nice variety.

The u.n. and the n.r.a. are not your friend(s). Beware of the nra compromisers!

Also, I don't think GOA or JPFO would approve of that "map" plan either.

Break and enter house invaders will use that nice map to find "safer" homes to rob/steal from.

How helpful of that paper to assist the "gunless home" invaders... and potential future gubermint gun grabbers
(who already have their own gps based electronic maps to use) in case their network goes down.
