(7,515 posts)Domestic Violence Shelters do not allow guns on the premises. If I were hiding from someone I doubt I would notify the Dept. of Justice,
would you?
I don't think the personal information of anyone should be easily available...however it is becoming almost impossible to protect one's privacy.
On the other side of the coin...considering the number of children killed accidentally because a gun was not secured within the home, do parents have no rights to know in what homes guns may be present? When our children make new friends at school or little league, are we now to ask the parents "do you have a gun in your home?" Are we to accept their word if they say "no"? What it they have the same privacy issues as you and say no because they think it is none of my business? And what if the worse case scenario plays out?
I don't think this issue is as cut and dried as you would like to make it. I almost envy your ability to see things through such a narrowly focused prism.
