After the Journal News published interactive maps detailing where gun owners live in a number of New York counties in late December, people all across the nation decried the move as an invasion of privacy and a danger to the families.

A number of ex-burglars told Fox News that the list would prove invaluable to criminals, telling them which houses to avoid or rob, depending on what they wanted.
It was revealed on Sunday that one of the homes identified by the paper was targeted by burglars over the weekend, though a connection to the Journal News has not been proven.
------
White Plains residence pinpointed on a controversial handgun permit database was burglarized Saturday, and the burglars’ target was the homeowner’s gun safe.

At least two burglars broke into a home on Davis Avenue at 9:30 p.m. Saturday but were unsuccessful in an attempt to open the safe, which contained legally owned weapons, according to a law enforcement source. One suspect was taken into custody, the source said.
------
Police are investigating what role, if any, the database played in the burglars’ decision to target the home, the law enforcement source said.
------
“The Journal News has placed the lives of these folks at risk by creating a virtual shopping list for criminals and nut jobs. If the connection is proven, this is further proof that these maps are not only an invasion of privacy but that they present a clear and present danger to law-abiding, private citizens.

Eric Holder thinking says that was a good thing!

Some of these homes will have several guns listed so we'll be hearing about more burglaries in the future.

So will the Journal be held accountable for any crimes committed with these stolen guns?

This idea that robbers would specifically go after armed houesholds is just stupid. How many gun stores get robbed?

If the map of gun owners were used by thieves they would use it to go after unarmed homes.

[Not true if the robbers were looking for guns, which they were in this case when they made an "unsuccessful attempt" to open the safe which was filled with licensed guns. It is not "stupid" at all and neither am I.

One suspect has apparently been arrested and the other is still at large. Sounds like the police know who did this and should be able to determine a motive.

Judge Pirro will be all over this since the crime occurred figuratively in her backyard.

Please! You're being duped by the MSM.

All sorts of people have NRA stickers on their homes and cars. How many of them have you previously heard reports about someone trying to break into their gun safes?

The reason for all this BS is that the brain-dead liberals who published the map didn't think about the fact that they were also publishing a map of unarmed households, less dangerous for thieves to rob. And so their friends are helping to cover for them.

I'm getting a little peeved at your insults cause' I happen to have read the article. You need to remember that you have an opinion and I have one, also. That doesn't make me stupid or duped!!!!!!!!! These guys were trying to get into the gun safe. How much plainer can it be for you??

[quote=Olivia|p9394 These guys were trying to get into the gun safe. How much plainer can it be for you??[/quote]

And the brilliant little girl believes everything she learns via the MSM?

Nor did she answer my question: How many previous MSM reports of attempted gun safe break-ins has she read about?

It's quite simple really. Discuss the topic without insulting the posters. You are free to post your opinion all you want of the article. Olivia is not someone who posts a hundred empty posts all day. She provides topics to discuss by posting articles. She discusses articles after reading them.

Now, again, feel free to disagree with the article all you want that is fine.
