Indeed, it was a stupid, stupid move on the part of the newspaper.

What did they think would happen violating gun-owners' privacy?

Obviously it pissed a few people off...

I really don't know what to think..I ran across the link on Fark. But I am very weary as to what I believe anymore when it's posted. I was just looking to see if anyone had any insight into the Rockland site's leanings. Are they a crazy RWer conspiracy site or are they a neutral site?

So its possible they might be a tad biased, but I take them at their word that they've poached a bunch of subscribers from the Journal News.

I sure as fuck would have quit my local paper had they done something so bone-headed as that.

that and the

"I am concerned phraseology"

reminds me of the old dear abby column
Dear Abby
I have a friend who has pink orange green blue polka dot spots over their lower body
what can I take to get rid of, I mean what can my friend take to get rid of
