re: #183 Political Atheist

. If for example any and all gun registration/permit activity is going to be used abused like this, it’s a clear deliberate disincentive, an attempt to bother or frighten people out of the most law abiding gun ownership. Not harassment by the government but by perhaps an anti gun editor or crusader.

It’s hard to speculate about the motives for making the map. But I suspect this is the kind of thing that happens in newsrooms on holiday weekends when all the senior editors and reporters are on vacation. Some second stringer or inexperienced reporter was compiling the information and just happened to finish his project when nobody was around to tell him not to publish it.
