Just saying....

As a online newspaper, you might not want to make gun owners angry.

The Commercial Appeal in Memphis Tennessee, for some reason I still can't figure out, decided to post the names of those in Tennessee who have a permit to carry a gun.

It seems in the link above the paper is trying to backtrack and say they really are for the 2nd Amendment, but seeing that they were dishonest in that post, I have to wonder.

The paper's spokesman says that the database's search did not allow the display of the date of birth and street addresses of the gun owners. But a commenter points out that the search did indeed allow the display of both date of Birth and Street addresses for roughly 24 hrs before gun permit holders began to contact the paper. Then, and only then was the search and display options modified.

So, being that the paper is being disingenuous there, I don't really buy their excuses.

Read the comments. They are very enlightening.
