One of the odd things about the rag Journal News’ “interactive map” releasing the names and addresses of thousands of gun owners in New York is that the reporter who wrote the article is not listed on this “interactive map.”
In fine print on the article/map there is the following little blip: “Editor’s note: Journal News reporter Dwight R. Worley owns a Smith & Wesson 686 .357 Magnum and has had a residence permit in New York City for that weapon since February 2011.”
Why then is Dwight R. Worley not on the map? Well, the newspaper only services Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties and the reporter doesn’t live in these counties. Where does he live? He lives in a suburb outside of Queens.
How convenient.
Apparently it’s okay to have a gun in Queens but not in the “safer” area outside of New York City.
Although you wouldn’t know it by the massive amount of crime in these counties.
But what comes around goes around. A local blogger has published his own “interactive” map listing names and addresses of the reporters and editors at the Journal News. But he’s one-upped the Leftist mouthpiece: his interactive map comes with not only names and addresses, but photos of the employees as well.
The Left is incensed at the “lawlessness” of said blogger. It’s like Obama’s recent statement that he likes having armed guards to protect his daughters, but balks at NRA vice president Wayne LaPierre calling for the same for everyone else’s children.
Their message: It’s good for me, but not for thee.
But the conservative blogger is sending another message: Lefties beware—we’re starting to use your tactics.
Someone said that the American revolutionaries lost battle after battle fighting the British on their terms. But when they changed their strategy—that is, to guerrilla warfare—then they started to win battles.
Maybe conservatives can learn from this blogger—and change their strategy as well.

I have said for YEARS that the gutless GOP should stop trying to impress Americans with how “fair” they are and respond to the left’s tactics blow by blow. They cheat in elections? GOP cheats in elections. They propagandize every issue? GOP propagandize every issue. When you are in a street fight, there are several hundred rules, we will just have 50. Rule One: There are no rules. Rules Two through Fifty: Refer to rule number ONE.
Are the GOPs waking up at last? Its time to bring a bazooka to Obamas gun fight instead of a knife.
We must defeat that Muslim lover/ Socialists commie dictator before he completely destroys America.
The “Silent Majority” has been silent for too long. Its time to step up and say “we are mad as Hell and
we arent going to take it anymore” instead of just “turning the other cheek” and saying God will take care
of us. God helps those who help themselves.
Great Post and absolutely true. The GOP needs to come out of the whussy closet and fight back. They will never have MSM on their side so get over it and attack them also.
The hypocrisy is mind boggling. The staff of the newspaper was ‘incensed’? because the blogger listed their names, and addresses.
It leaves me almost speechless…
Conservatives can’t win by playing nice. Those people on the left don’t play nice and only see it as a weakness, just like “peaceful” muslim terrorists.
Conservatives can’t win by turning the other cheek. Those people only see it as an opportunity to hit you again.
Those people are the most violent, the most bigoted, and the most hateful. They only understand those who act like them. That’s why they accuse the right of hatred and bigotry, because since they “think” that way, they ASSume we do to.
The glove must come off. Boehner are you paying attention?
In phycology it’s called “group think” Part of the mental disorder called Liberalism.
Playing nice?
Turning the other cheek?
What planet are you from? Conservatives in America are are rarely nice unless it’s amongst themselves.
The main thing I LOVE about this site is how delusional a small faction of you people are and the wacky things that come out of your pie-holes. Not to mention how proud many of you are of your ridiculous comments. You are hardly a majority or even a viable threat to liberty but you provide many laughs for the sane people out there.
What, they didn’t think we would retaliate?? Way to go blogger!!!!!!
Gun owners in that area that were named should file for a Freedom of Information to get her address and show the map with directions to where she lives on FB or put an ad in the ‘Journal News’ or another news source. That should make it fair and then she can watch her back like everyone else will have to do.
SAnn, over at Breightbart you can get a map, with names, and a picture. It’s under Big Journalism. I also saw a list of phone #’s and emails for the trashy news paper. Lots of good information. Good luck. I sent some emails.
As I understand it there is nothing at all “illegal” about publishing public information such as CCW holders and other gun permit owners names.
The rub comes because the information was published for malicious and purely political purposes. But, that’s what Liberals do best. Flaunt law and reason.
Amazing, isn’t it? The cages that Liberals are building to hold us are big enough to hold THEM too. Do they even notice that?
If a Freedom of Information Act form had to be filled out, then the information was NOT public.
If it was considered “sensitive” or restricted it would NOT have been released FoIA or not. The Act does not trump established law it just forces Government Agencies to OBEY those laws. If it was restricted than the opposition should have already filed a complaint. Not going to get into a tussle over it though. Might be nice to get a legal opinion on it.
Let’s put the names, address’s and maps of the idiots at Journal News into our publications starting with the National Rifle Association and other conservative magazines, internet sites etc. It’s time we got off our complaining ass’s and put the same tactics squared onto the useful idiot communist’s. The ameriikahn communist have been using the Saul Alynski tactics on us for 50 plus years and all we have is mild Fox News.
BTW, fox news is owned by Murdoch, who changed his name from Rothschild. No truth there either.
AMEN! One good turn gets all the covers, I say. And yes, we need to get off our complaining asses and put a stop to the BS.
Betta, all the information is on Breigtbart. Big Journalism. On the sight someone are pictures, addresses, phone numbers and emails. Some really good information.
Excellent! We need to do more – things like exposing Dianne Feinstein’s own carry permit, etc. etc. etc. Going to do some research.
1995: Senators Kohl, Specter, Feinstein, Lautenberg and others introduce the Gun-Free School Zones Act of 1995, an amended version of the 1990 school-zone law which was struck down in court as being unconstitutional.
The only thing consistent about the liberals is that they are rank hypocrites and cannot be trusted in any dealings or statements. To the blogger who posted the hypocrites info, BRAVO, we need more reciprocity to combat the lunatics, if we had more of this from all including the conservatives instead of rolling over and playing dead, then we most likely would never had the wrecking crew called “Obama and Co.” in a position to continue their rampage. Since Obama was in Chicago, the corruption capitol of America, he would most likely still be in the Senate voting present on every vote except his favorite “AYE” on abortion until age 12 but at least he wouldn’t have been the oval office, nominating freak of nature to the Supreme Court like Sotomayor and Kagan and as a sideline using the IRS and EPA against a free and prosperous America.
You are so correct! The so called Republican Leadership frustrates me to no end. We need to attack, hit back, fight at every turn. There are many of us like this in this country. The blogger who did this deserves a medal. I for one am going to sign up to follow. He kind of pointed the way instead of saying “why doesn’t some one do something”. Well, he did something.
To wspires45, that was a good one. I’m still in shock regarding the total lack of Romney fighting to be prez. He was handed more ammo to use against stinking BO than any other candidate in history and he used none of it. I’m afraid it’s all an illusion or maybe Romney’s entire family was threatened by the communist gang.
Simply OUTSTANDING! Fight fire with fire, tit for tat, what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Onward Christian soldiers and beat them at their own game at their home field.
It was long over due! Even channel 3, Behindthescenes.com Dec 27 show commented on it. They stated that the only reason it was published was to shame the gun owners and he applauded the turn around tactic of the blogger.
“It’s like Obama’s recent statement that he likes having armed guards to protect his daughters, but balks at NRA vice president Wayne LaPierre calling for the same for everyone else’s children.”
Are you really that nutty Zane? You should all be grateful that the “Bad Guys” now know who the crazies are with the guns!
Dwight R. Worley’s name, address, and phone number along with a photo of his home has shown up on facebook.
