On this discussion board there are a lot of calls to support the rights guaranteed by the 2d Amendment. I believe those rights are important. But here's a reminder, folks. There's one amendment ahead of it in the Bill of Rights--the 1st Amendment. And one of the things the 1st Amendment guarantees is the right to a free press.
And you feel that the 1st amendment gives an anti-gun newspaper the right to publish for public consumption a listing of all concealed carry permit holders? Does that same right extend for them to publish a listing of all undercover police officers names, addresses and phone numbers so the criminals can find their homes easily to harm or kill their families? Or a listing of abused spouses who fled their homes to escape an abusive husband or domestic partner?
My perspective is this, if they opt to post names, addresses, or any personal information on any group of people other than those who by law are subject to their residences being displayed (i.e., convicted child sexual abusers, etc.) then they have a responsibility to post their own names, addresses and personal information so those whose right to privacy has been invaded can return the favor to them.
I live in Dayton, Ohio, our press I'm sure know exactly where every elected representative of the area lives, yet very few have their home addresses listed in phone books, nor are their home phones listed. Why? I'd have to guess they feel safer knowing that an irate citizen doesn't have access to such information and as such can't bother them at home. And personally, I have no problem with such measures taken to insure their privacy, if I have a complaint about their actions, or feel a need to contact them, they are available during work hours at their offices.
If you have no problem with any and everyone knowing your personal information, go right ahead and post such for all to see here. I'll bet you aren't that willing to have your personal information available for all to see.
I notice you use an assumed moniker here, as most everyone else does, and I do as well. For a reason. There is no reason for anyone here to know every aspect of my life unless I decide to reveal it to them. But that aspect of being simply a moniker also gives you a venue to say things here you might well not do if everyone knew your real name, address, etc.
The 1st amendment doesn't give the press the right to invade privacy, it gives them the right to report the news without government interference. I suggest you read the document a little closer.
