City Paper: McDonough To Introduce Gun Owner Privacy Bill
State Del. Pat McDonough wants to stop newspapers from publishing information about gun owners.
City Paper reports a bill on the subject is one of three that McDonough plans to introduce in the General Assembly session that starts in January.
McDonough, a Middle River Republican who represents parts of Baltimore and Harford counties, told City Paper that the gun owner bill was brought on by current events.
In New York, following the Dec. 14 school shooting in Newtown, CT, The Journal News published an online map of pistol permit holders in three counties.
The map was compiled using public record requests. A blogger retaliated by posting the addresses of Journal News staffers, as CNN reported. One blogger even published the address of the CEO of the paper’s owner, Gannett, as Poynter reports.
“This is really a response to the paper in New York which claimed what they were doing was for the public good, but what it really is is a massive editorial taking up two pages of the newspaper reflecting their position of the newspaper,” McDonough told City Paper. “It’s really dishonest to not say it is an editorial.”
