Score another win for sanity!

I disagree. There they go down that slippery slope. What is the next public record that they decide shouldn't be public? It is a knee jerk reaction. Just the same as the reaction by gun enthusiasts is to run out and buy more guns because the President is going to take your guns away.

I think Laura should move to a country like Russia, China or Iran where they don't have the 2nd Amendment so she can feel safe.

Woo hoo, Good news, now papers should publish whom received taxpayer funded abortions and collect welfare, we all need to report fraud and I dont feel safe having my children around people that have on regards for human lives.

ssk, it has everything to do with the second amendment and the privacy of our, public officials, law enforcement officers and law abiding citizens. Maybe the public records should be made available for illegal taxpayer funded abortions and welfare cheats who commit fraud. I think you should join Laura and move to a countries like Russia, China or Iran where you don't have any freedoms, privacy or rights.

The second amendment is quite short and says nothing about privacy. The bill passed was a separate issue in my opinion.. but then again it's only my opinion, which apparently I'm not entitled to because it differs from yours.
Thank you for pointing out other countries I can move to because I don't agree with you. You forgot about North Korea.. I hear the food is great.
Just be careful, if you banish me and others like me, who will be left to foot the bill for all the "illegal taxpayer-funded abortions" and rampant "welfare cheating".

Question for the Patch: Why is Mr. Rible being from Wall mentioned? As an Assemblyman, doesn't he represent a district? Let's face facts. This bill was introduced because an out of control "media outlet" chose their own political agenda over the safety and welfare of law abiding citizens. They allege that they are "protecting the public". If true, they would have published the list of sex offenders and their personal info right along with it.. One must admit the employees of the NY paper must be a sick bunch when they think gun owners are a greater threat to society than sex offenders, huh?

ssk, your right, you can take all of them with you so no body had to pay for illegal abortions or fraudulent welfare receipients and reduce American deficit.

so.. ssk.. someones privacy doesn't seem to be a problem with you.. lets see how that privacy applies to you.. .. Do you own a gun? there might be people on here who would like to know.. if you don't own a gun maybe you should publish your name and address on here. no privacy right , you see, ssk if the names and addresses of gun owners are made public then it isn't very hard to figure out who the non-gun owners are ,that's what I have a problem with..

You can find out anything you want about anyone for a few dollars on the internet. I don't live under the assumption that there is much privacy. Whether I have a gun permit, a dog permit or a pool permit it's no secret. If I'm a public employee you can see how much money I make and how many vacation days I get. The journalists who published the information had questionable journalistic integrity, but the information IS public record. There are several gun owners in my family and they are not particularly paranoid about people knowing they have a gun. I think it's expected with certain professions. I have a good alarm system and that works for my peace of mind.
