If the left thinks it’s right to publish the names and addresses of gun owners, isn’t it also right to publish the names and addresses of non-gun owners?

Tom Blumer at Newsbusters reports:

In response to Gannett’s Journal News headquartered in White Plains, New York publishing an interactive map containing the names and addresses of all pistol permit holders in Westchester and Rockland Counties (previous related posts are here and here), blogger Robert Cox at NewRochelleTalk.com (HT Instapundit) has produced an interactive map at a post entitled “Where are the Journal News employees in your neighborhood?”

It contains names, addresses, and various forms of Internet presence.

Most pertinent are these two comments at Lucianne.com:

Why don’t they publish a map of each neighborhood showing the locations of homes that do not have a resident with a pistol permit. I’m sure the thieves in the neighborhood would find that to be useful information.

It would be useful if this mapping listed not only the employees of this newspaper, but whether or not they are registered gun owners. Those who are not should get a gold star so they are more easily identified by … well, whomever may find it interesting that they are not armed.
