Here's my message to miss chai latte.......
Mrs. Bishop,
I really wish you hadn’t written this article. Your ignorance and lack of facts about firearms is laughable at best. The idea that there should be a “searchable database” of firearm owners is not only moronic, but illegal! The general assembly in MD passed a bill in 2013 that prohibits the publication of firearm wear and carry permit owners. This was precipitated by the irresponsible actions of a New York publication that same year. Do you know recognize the danger to firearm owners and the general public by doing such a thing as to give criminals a “shopping” list of homes where firearms would be available? You lack of foresight and irresponsible manner in which you wrote this article is appalling. You also state that you are less fearful of "of the criminals wielding guns in Baltimore…..than I am by those permitted gun owners.” Do you really mean that you would rather leave your children with a career criminal than with a licensed, vetted and law abiding firearm owner? I can’t imagine you would hold a criminal illegally “wielding” a firearm in higher regard, then someone who has been finger printed, had their criminal background check into extensively AND taken firearms training in order to exercise a right reinforced by the 2nd Amendment of the Bill of Rights. Is that what you were saying?
Lastly, you use of racial qualifiers as to why you “are able to avid the line of fire” is not only disgusting, but divisive. As if Baltimore needs to add another reason for the races to despise each other, you go and publish in a, at one time respected, newspaper the fact that you believe you have been able to avoid becoming a victim, in part, because of your race. I guess the fact that you avoid high crime areas, you obey laws and do not participate in illicit activities are less important than you economic status and race? You are a disgrace to a one time respected profession. The Baltimore Sun should be ashamed to recognize you as an employee!
I hope you proofed, and CC'ed the owner of the SunRag as well... With a complaint registered about her racist comment.
NO LIST FOR EITHER SIDE!!!
What are people thinking here???
Publishing any list of "non gun houses" would be the same as a list of "pro gun houses"... The criminals would simply mark off the houses which were not listed, as targets for burglary.
No lists EITHER way.
Voluntary list. For play-dates.....
I saw a great comment on Facebook that said something along the lines of "If you want to know if there are guns in a house before your daughter goes there to play, ask the homeowners. If you don't trust them to answer truthfully then you shouldn't be sending your daughter into that house to begin with".
How quickly common sense escapes the loony left.
I hope her daughter grows up and becomes an Olympic Champion shooter.
This is a pretty clear-cut example of someone with an irrational fear of guns. It's ridiculous that she is more worried about legal gun owners who are statistically far less likely to hurt anyone than the thugs that would kill her and her family just for the hell of it.
We are some pretty scary people. Have you even been to a meet-and-greet?

C4 on WBAL and his callers are making fun of this. Great radio!
