Criminal Obama Gang Prepares Massive Onslaught Against Law-Abiding Gun Owners

Yeah, I'm concerned about the social aspect of this.
Making ownership lists public is actually a tool to discourage people from purchasing weapons as far as I can tell.
What soccer mom wants to buy a .380, only to see her name on the front page of her local paper on Monday so that she can be vilified by her friends?
It's dirty.
FOI is a good thing, I have more of a problem with the fact that this list exists in the first place.
Publishing gun owner lists does two things:
1. Tells criminals where they can steal guns from.
2. Tells criminals which homes they can break into without fear of getting shot.

I agree with you, those are the obvious things to take away from this. I'm looking at this as part of general cultural shift engineered by the media and legislators with an agenda to push.
Nobody publishes lists of "good citizens".
Just being on a list is damning in and of itself.
Someone should publish a list of congresscritters with CCWs along with their voting records on gun control.
this sounds like a great piece of content for the new project over here: http://www.wickedfire.com/shooting-shit/169197-so-i-hear-you-like-case-studies.html
Oh, you mean like that liberal hyprocrite Dianne Feinstein?
"I know the sense of helplessness that people feel. I know the urge to arm yourself because that's what I did. I was trained in firearms. I walked to the hospital when my husband was sick. I carried a concealed weapon and I made the determination if somebody was going to try and take me out, I was going to take them with me." - Senator Dianne Feinstein in 1995

What a strange reason for a first post, but I came here to say what MR. DCHUK said.
Is reading that hard? Require background checks for guns? Monitor gun sales and penalize those who allow minors access to guns?
HITLER MAO STALIN DON'T YOU GET IT HOLY FUX
First off background checks already exist. Why should minors not have access to guns? Many a family traditions dating back to when guns first were first invented have included children and firearms. Not everyone that owns a gun uses it for evil. They bond around them. They feed the family with them. They teach children the responsibility much greater than any classroom can give them.
Just because you don't want your children to understand and respect firearms does not mean that mine shouldn't or cant.
Many a family tradition dating back to when slavery was first brought over here included children having personal slaves, what's your point? Tradition doesn't mean processes can't change.
Minors shouldn't have access to guns just like minors shouldn't have access to booze and cars.
A few of you will enjoy this recent post by Sam Harris...
The Riddle of the Gun : Sam Harris
Harris's name may be familiar to you. He wrote a very well-reasoned post on violence and self-defense in 2011. That post can be found below.
The Truth about Violence : 3 Principles of Self-Defense : Sam Harris
His essay on guns is thoughtful. It won't change your mind about them, but it might spark a few thoughts that lead to a rational debate.
Or not. It's up to you.

And when they access booze and cars illegally and kill someone, we must change laws to affect everyone else who drinks responsibly!
The problem is the intent.
The reason nobody is passing a handwashing law, (even though it would save twice as many lives as total ban on all firearms), is because nobody sets out to infect other people with the flu. Also, there are no mass sneezings.
As a consequence, people don't feel as threatened by the flu, even though they are twice as likely to die from it as they are from a gunshot wound and it's 100% preventable.
This is how you know that it's not really about saving lives, it's about making people feel better about living in a world where people sometimes want to hurt other people. In other words, hysteria.
That is just crazy talk. You have no idea how many minors legally and lawfully use and posses guns. They grow up respecting their firearms and using them in a lawful way. The kids that are sheltered from guns are the ones that go over to the neighbors house and start screwing around with Jimmy's dads gun. Kids that are around guns, and are trained with them rarely have accidents. Its even more rare for them to use in a criminal manner. Why cant open your mind beyond what they tell you on TV?
So you think any kid should be able to just cruise over to walmart and pick up a handgun with their allowance money? Do you think IceToEskimo would be comfortable with that considering he had to have his (step?)child institutionalized this week for fear of being murdered?
Kids inherently don't make informed, mature decisions. That's why we have so many laws that specifically prohibit minors from doing stupid shit.
Even more fun to be had regarding minors and guns:
