Judge Jeanine Pirro (Fox News) blasts The Journal News for publishing the names and addresses of legal gun owners in New York, and for refusing to address the issue. It turns out Pirro happens to be a gun owner.
In the meantime, one of those gun owners- a 70 year-old man- was robbed, and they apparently headed straight for his gun safe. No-one is sure yet whether this was simply a co-incidence or whether that handy interactive map the idiots at The Journal News published was what inspired the thieves to target his house. I'm willing to bet it was.
Anyone on that list who is robbed should sue The Journal News.

Anti-Gun Journalists Refuse "This Home Proudly Gun Free" Yard Signs- Project Veritas Video
James O'Keefe's Project Veritas just posted a brilliant new video about gun control hypocrisy.
A group of actors posing as members of fictitious "Citizens Against Senseless Violence" approach a slew of journalists and politicians asking them to place yard signs that say: This Home Is Proudly Gun Free. They even show up at some of the homes of the The Journal News idiots who posted the names and addresses (along with an interactive map) of legal gun owners in several New York counties. Ironically, most of them now have security guards after a pissed off blogger posted their names and addresses in retaliation.
Obviously, not one person requested a sign because that would be like posting a "rob me" sign in their yard, which is basically what The Journal News did to all the citizens living in those counties.
The beginning of O'Keefe's video is a parody of this anti-gun, celebrity-filled "We Are Better Than This" YouTube video.

Bloggers Retaliate- Post Addresses of Staff Of Paper That Published Gun Owners Map
The latest issue to polarize this country is the right to bear arms. Gun control has always been a bone of contention for the American people, but more so since the recent spate of mass murders left movie-goers in Aurora and 20 young ones in Sandy Hook dead. Yes, it's an issue that has many people angered, on both sides, but what New York's The Journal News did by publishing an interactive map along with the names AND addresses of gun owners in Westchester and Rockland counties was unconscionable. The newspaper has effectively made every single resident in both counties a target for criminals: they now know which houses they can steal from to add to their arsenal of weapons, and the ones which will make easy targets with no guns for protection.
But back to the Journal News: piss off enough people and someone is going to retaliate, which is what a former Connecticut attorney and blogger Christopher Fountain did. Fountain published on his blog the names, addresses and phone numbers of all 50 employees of The Journal news including the publisher Janet Hasson, including a Google Maps shot of her house:
Another blogger, Robert Cox, published an interactive Google Map of his own pinpointing where some of the employees live, along with some email addresses and other personal information.
Whether you believe two wrongs don't make a right, as one commenter on Fountain's blog pointed out, this is what happens when you push the envelope too far to further your agenda. The News Journal should never have published those names and addresses. Now all these people, including the News Journal staff, will be potential targets for all the criminals and crazies in the world.

I don’t know whether the Journal’s publisher Janet Hasson is a permit holder herself, but here’s how to find her to ask..
