Reply #65: Ummm... you made the accusation that it was some desire to punish...

...so the burden would be on you to show some evidence of that. Otherwise I could just say "pro-gunners like to torture puppies" and insist that I was right unless you prove me wrong.

Outside of your little NRA bubble, it is very easy to understand why someone would want to know if there are people walking around their neighborhood with loaded guns, and it has nothing to do with punishment. You can argue that it is irresponsible to publish the names anyway, that the privacy rights of CCWers outweigh the safety concerns of others, but to say it's punishment is just more of the inane gunner hyperbole that readers of this board will have become accustomed to.
