Judge Napolitano on NY Paper Outing Gun Owners: 'Invites Retaliation Against Law-Abiding Citizens'

The New York state newspaper that published the names of locals who had obtained firearm permits has now stationed armed guards at its offices after a fierce public outcry.

Judge Andrew Napolitano talked to Stuart Varney on Fox Business this morning about these recent developments amid a national debate over gun rights following the Sandy Hook Elementary School attack. Napolitano said The Journal-News is "obviously being inconsistent" by now seeking armed protection in response to the flood of angry emails and phone calls.

"I think it was wrong of them to have revealed those names, but not unconstitutional and not unlawful. From a moral point of view, this ratchets up the debate, this turns the heat up, this exposes people to public gaze when they shouldn't be," said Napolitano.

"The interactive map almost invites retaliation for people doing what the law authorizes them to do, which is get permission to own a gun."

The Judge makes another constitutional slam dunk on the heads of the sheeple and tyrants! Way to go Judge with the help of more Patriots like ur self we will surely beat these usurping traitors!

That map shows criminals where to rob and not worry about getting shot.

[oppresstyranny]

that can happen too but more than likely most chickenshit thieves will break into a bleeding hearts house who they know is disarmed. After all the guns maybe locked up.

Or where to rob and get free guns.. As long as they case a house and break in when no one is home.

This map could be used to determine if there is corruption in a "may issue" state. Who is allowed to have guns in New York? I think that anyone who lives there and has either been denied or neglected trying to get a permit should look into this closer.
