Hunting down anti-gun-violence advocates? There's an app for that.

(cross-posting from GCRA because this is about more than guns, it's about using apps to intimidate, or worse)

It's just the latest in a disturbing trend: Your address and phone numbers are now weapons.
By Sarah Kessler

On Thursday morning, a handful of anti-gun-violence activists realized there is an app in the Google Play Store with their names on it—literally. The app, Gunfree Geo Marker, features a map pinpointing the home and work addresses of politicians, gun control organization employees, and "random anti-gun trolls" who "push the anti-gun agenda in any way, shape or form."

Clicking on a person’s name in the menu reveals their address on a Google map, along with the app creator's reasons for including that person in the app.

For instance, Joseph Quint, a photographer who is working on a documentary about gun violence, is described as "an anti-gun troll who is so confident that he is right, he is afraid to defend his position." Andrea J. Markley, a woman who is vocal about gun control issues on social media, is described as "aka liberal hippie queen." Ladd Everitt, the head of communications for the Coalition to Stop Gun Violence, is simply listed with his job title.

(snip)

No matter which side of the gun control debate you sit on, it's a disturbing trend: Your address, which is often public and searchable through sites like whitepages.com, has become a weapon that people who disagree with you can use to intimidate you.

This is why, when some gun troll asks "well, what do you do in the real world? Prove you're not just some keyboard commando." the proper response is "Go **** yourself. That's none of your business."

1. As I believe I said in the GCRA group before you banned me a few minutes ago...

Didn't a New York newspaper publish the names and addresses of all the gun owns in the county?

2. Yeah, that's exactly the same. Not.

 

and, there are now laws in many states against revealing who owns guns and who has a ccl.

3. Uh, yeah it is.

The hypocrisy amazes me.

4. One county is the same as the entire country?

That's the whole thing so far.  IIRC, most of the DUmmies cheer when gun owners are outed and their information made public.  Makes more sense to tell the criminals who isn't likely to have a gun to defend themselves.

Why aren't the gun-haters proud their homes are gun-free?

Progs have been doxxing those they hate for years, but whine and cry when they themselves are doxxed. Those that make the bed should also lay in it.

Those DUmmies were probably the same ones who a few years ago were cheering on the Palin email hacker's publicly posting Sarah Palin's personal information online, which in turn enabled psychopaths to stalk and threaten her daughters.

Only a week or so back, GCRA was proud that their list of the banned was reduced.  They took off the PPRed I think.  Now Elecrtic Monster is banning people for saying Hoplophobe!

Should people who donated to Prop 8 be publicly exposed and humiliated?
or is it harrassment and an attack on their right to free speech?
(I'm on the humiliation side of the fence).

It is an attack on free speech to tell people to not mention it. If someone gave money, they must really feel strongly, so let them defend themselves.

You are free to scorn and excoriate them, and they should be chastised and condemned.

They should be exposed. Whether they're humiliated by it
Edited on Sat Nov-15-08 12:25 PM by Tallison
is kind of up to them. Don't think anyone can humiliate you without your consent, a la Eleanor Roosevelt.

ETA: And he didn't say we should humiliate anyone with an opinion opposite of ours. You're generalizing as a debate tactic.

82. Not really. No one can make someone feel humiliated except the person who feels it.
If someone feels humiliated by their actions being exposed, it's their choice.

88. If they're not humiliated, why do they not want to be exposed?
Why do you think the KKK wears masks?

Those who supported Prop 8 are already lost to us forever. Again, look to the history of civil rights. There is always a tipping point at which the reasonable people have agreed, and the oppressors have to be beaten down.

I still, in my commute, see occasional faded Obama '12 and even '08 bumperstickers. Not a lot ... I think more has faded than just the bumperstickers. While out walking yesterday PM I saw - I think for the first time - a Romney-Ryan '12 bumpersticker.

I think it's about time to load our DUmmy dossiers into an app.

Good and decent people could avoid being the victims of bouncies, false accusations of racism and sexism, insane would-be felines, fools who want to attack and disarm lawfully armed citizens, pornographic poems by great-grandmothers, smelly old hippies, New Hampshire town drunks with vomit in their beards, and other DUmmy-related unpleasantness.
