Come on - sensationalism anyone? All the NRA did was keep a list of Gun control advocates. Any business keeps track of who is on their side... talk about blowing things out of proportion and not telling the whole story... Give people ALL the information to make an informed decision.

"After the Journal News published the names and addresses of more than 33,000 legal handgun permit holders, making families, homes and neighborhoods vulnerable to theft and assault, the National Rifle Association decided to hit back. If the intent of the newspaper was to shame those with gun permits living in their community, the NRA has upped the game by publishing the names of gun control advocates all over the country. Many of the names on the list are companies, organizations and individuals that are guarded by armed security."
