[QUOTE="texan, post: 1077791, member: 38206"] [B]Just before Christmas, the local newspaper in New York’s tony Westchester and Rockland Counties decided to respond to the horrific shootings in nearby Newton, Conn., with its own version of insanity. The [I]Journal News[/I] published an interactive “gun map” showing the names and addresses of thousands of local residents who have handgun permits. The article’s headline read, “The Gun Owner Next Door: What YouDon’t Know about the Weapons in Your Neighborhood.” The newspaper was so inundated with complaints that shortly after Christmas it took extra security [SIZE=4]precautions and [COLOR=#ff0000]hired security guards — who were [I]armed[/I] [/COLOR]— to patrol its Rockland County headquarters. [SIZE=3]The [I]Journal News[/I] chose not to share with its readers the information that it had hired[/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][SIZE=3]armed security guards. That revelation came from a competing newspaper, the[/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][SIZE=3][I]Rockland County Times[/I], which concluded that the [I]Journal News[/I] conducts itself[/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][SIZE=3]according to the double standard: “Guns are good for the goose but not for the gander.”[/SIZE][/SIZE] [SIZE=4][SIZE=2]Guns for Me but Not for Thee - John Fund - National Review Online[/SIZE][/SIZE][/B] [/QUOTE]
