republican Mo. House chief defends attempt to access gun list

What happened to the hand wringing over a gun registry?

The leader of the Missouri House says an attempt to access a secure website listing Missouri's concealed gun permit holders was part of an investigation into whether the state had appropriately shielded the information.

Gov. Jay Nixon's administration revealed last week that someone using a House computer address repeatedly tried to access the site. It said those attempts were unauthorized because information on concealed gun permit holders can only be shared with law enforcement.

1. I'll put money on Jones

trying to set up a mailing list of friendly gun-owners for his next election bid.

Fucking idiot.

2. No doubt

Is that why republicans are opposed to a gun registry?

3. Oh no they would love a gun

registry for that if they could access it. Then they wouldn't have to pay the NRA for the mailing list and get a bunch of non-NRA gun owners in the deal.

Republicans are against a gun registry because it's good politics to make imbeciles think that any and all forms of gun control, even really minor ones like background checks, are simply a method for the UN and WTO and any other scary black helicopter organizations to come in and take away their manhood...I mean weapons.

4. Amazing

A government official hacks a list of CCW holders and no one on the right will comprehend the irony.
