Though I would say that regardless of how many signatures you get to deport Piers Morgan, we will easily get more to keep him away

This is a classless act

Yeah, there's a freedom of information act. And some states will list conceal carry permits publicly. But still
I wonder if the paper would change their tune if someone made an interactive map showing all paper employees' properties. Label summer homes as such.

“But the fact that they put the addresses — I’ve received emails from abused women who were under protective order and in hiding, and they’re terribly afraid that now their names and addresses are all over the Internet and accessible through that map.”
lol
Wild, wild west, here we come!

Blogger Retaliates Against Gun Map, Publishes Addresses Of Newspaper’s Staff
by Meenal Vamburkar

On Thursday, a blogger took to CNN’s Early Start to explain why he decided to publish the addresses of many of the The Journal News‘ staff after the paper published the names and addresses of gun permit holders in several counties.
“Well, I just thought they were being hypocrites,” said Christopher Fountain said. “In the aftermath of Newtown, it was obviously one tragedy, but somehow they were conflating legal gun owners with some crazed tormented devil up in Newtown and putting the two together. And I was offended by that and I wondered how they would like it if their addresses were published.”
Fountain began by publishing the home addresses of some of the newspaper’s staffers and later linked to an interactive Google map displaying the information.
Asked to respond to the newspaper’s justification for publishing the information (some citizens “would like lawmakers to expand the amount of information the public can find out about gun owners” after the Newtown shooting), Fountain wasn’t buying it.
“Well, she could have just published the number of gun permits, which is actually quite small, if she wanted to show an issue that there are 2,000 legally registered guns in her county, fine,” he said. “But the fact that they put the addresses — I’ve received emails from abused women who were under protective order and in hiding, and they’re terribly afraid that now their names and addresses are all over the Internet and accessible through that map.”
Here comes the lynch mob, with guns instead of pitchforks.
People still bring this up whenever I tell them I'm an American. America, as a whole, lost a lot of face with this incident.

A friend said that the Remington factory is receiving bomb threats related to this. It sort of made me lol that peace-mongers would call in gun threats.
Edit: I should note that this is not confirmed, she just mentioned that they attempted to visit and they normally give a tour, but they aren't at the moment and this was the reason given.
One of my go-to gun stores was receiving threats of violence after the shooting.
It's some great irony.
i'll bet they were threatening to come in there knives blazing.
that's funny.
I'm not sure if it is because I can't tell how serious that reply is or what, but I laughed.
Sorry America.
Edit: All seriousness about the event itself aside, that is a really incredible picture.
Funny or not funny...
Think about what a few crazy people can get done by holding civilians at knife point. It's a bit alarming.
It is horribly beautiful...like the falling man pictures. But to me, they're sacred pictures. Many people were dying the second that picture was taken and it moves me to this day thinking about it...to use it as a sight gag prop is disgraceful...
Oddly enough a coworker was telling me about the collapse of that building earlier in the week.
I wonder what it's like to actually know the truth.
