Are they police now?
One thing I’m used to hearing the press say so that it can justify so many of the poor decisions it makes is that there is a right to know. No, there is not. You do not have a right to know. Period. But this boneheaded argument is new:
Handgun permit records have long been public records, and they should stay that way. Closing them would unfairly inhibit the news media from doing its job in protecting the public.
Your job is to protect the public? Funny. I thought it was to report the news. And how does publishing that info protect the public?

Because it lets everyone know there is a person in the midst of all the sheep who understands what it is to be a human.
You’ve got to watch out for those humans, you never know what they will do.

Journalists don’t protect the public.
Handgun permits protect the public.
When was the last time you heard, “Freeze or I’ll call the paper?”
