by Everytown wants you to know where gun dealers are in your neighbor. They especially want you (and thieves) to know the home addresses of dealers. They even have an interactive map to assist you in this.
Liberty Doll has done an excellent expose’ of the Everytown efforts in a YouTube video published today.
The only class of those with Federal Firearm Licenses not included are those of us with Curios & Relics Licenses. This is because they say we “are not engaged in sales and thus are not included in the analysis in this report.” How nice of them to not put targets on our backs.
You can read the whole so-called report here.
I would encourage you to share Liberty Doll’s YouTube with your friends. As a reminder, some newspapers in the past have published maps and databases containing the name and address of everyone in a state with a CCW. In places where there is registration of either owners such as Illinois or firearms such as with handguns in New York, what is to say that Everytown won’t publish these names under the heading “do you know your neighbor owns a gun!”.
This effort of Everytown reminds me of the “hate group” (sic) map published by the Southern Poverty Law Center which has led some disturbed individuals to attack these groups. Both should be condemned for what they are: an incitement to violence and theft.
