Publishing the names and addresses of permit holders is very possibly the worst case of irresponsible journalism I have ever heard of. It endangers the entire public not only gun owners, but non-gunowners. This publication needs to be closed down and the owner, editor, publisher, and reporter need to be sued into poverty at the very least. Jail time is not beyond the realm of reasonability. It is tatamount to terrorism by endangering the entire public.

I am upset to say the least. The first amendment is supposed to guaranty freedom of the press and I support this, but it must be tempered with responsibility. This act needs to be addressed swiftly and severely. This is as bad or worse than yelling "fire" in a crowded theater.
