The Illinois attorney general is trying to force the state police to give up the information according to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/2011\/03\/02\/illinois-officials-spar-order-make-list-gun-owners-public\/#ixzz1FYKqgoK2\">Fox News<\/a>;<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Critics questioned what public interest it would serve to let neighbors look up each other&#8217;s potential weapons cache &#8212; further, they warned that publicizing the information could put both gun owners and those who don&#8217;t own guns at risk. <\/p>\n<p>If the state publishes a list of gun owners, Republican Rep. Ron Stephens said, &#8220;You are by design also publishing a list of everyone who doesn&#8217;t&#8221; carry a firearm. <\/p>\n<p>That could be comparable to publishing a list of everyone who has, or doesn&#8217;t have, a car alarm or home-security system, at least in the eyes of those who want to keep the records private.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So actually, the AG wants a list of potential crime victims. That sure would make it easier for burglars and home invaders. Instead of wasting their time observing homeowners, criminals can just get a FOIA and plot out their crimes in the comfort of their own homes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It looks like a battle is heating up in Illinois about whether the State&#8217;s registered gun &hellip; <a title=\"IL AG wants a public list of gun owners\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=22473\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">IL AG wants a public list of gun owners<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[82,156],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-22473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-gun-grabbing-fascists","category-guns"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=22473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/22473\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=22473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=22473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=22473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
