Prosecute 'The Journal News' for Gross Negligence of Sensitive Information - Providing Exact Addresses of Legal Firearms

Created by V.N. on December 26, 2012

Prosecute 'The Journal News' a Gannett Co. newspaper for Gross Negligence of Sensitive Information by publishing an overly comprehensive map of Legally Registered Firearms in the New York area.

This report needlessly included the Full Names of Law Abiding Citizens & their Full Addresses.

Statistical numbered values by county, city, or block would have been sufficient; but by listing exact names & addresses, irresponsibly allows violent criminals to stock & target these homes & families for possible home invasion, theft, or other violent crimes.

This is nearly equivalent to providing a comprehensive list of Full Names & Exact Addresses of all Law Enforcement Officers, Federal Agents, Spy Operatives, Government Officials, and/or/etc Politicians and their families in any given area.
