Dominick sends us a link to the Washington Times<\/a> which reports that some gumball, lecturer Brett Stalbaum, from University of California San Diego developed an application for Android machine thingies that allows you to put “irresponsible gun owners” on their map. Of course, the meaning of irresponsible is pretty ambiguous – and depends on what the operator decides it means;<\/p>\n

As reported, the market guidelines state, \u201c\u2026unlocked, loaded or carelessly stored weapons should generally be treated with concern by friends, neighbors and visitors. The locations of such careless owners should probably be marked so that others can make an informed decision.”<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Gun Geo Marker operates very simply, letting parents and community members mark, or geolocate, sites associated with potentially unsafe guns and gun owners. These locations are typically the homes or businesses of suspected unsafe gun owners, but might also be public lands or other locations where guns are not handled safely, or situations where proper rights to own or use any particular type of firearm may not exist.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gun owners are not pleased with the application citing that the need to “create awareness” of suspected \u201cdangerous\u201d gun owners does not trump the privacy of individuals and their sensitive, personal property.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As we’ve seen with some of the trolls who drop by occasionally, owning a gun at all makes you irresponsible and so likely to land you on the map. I wonder when someone can make an application that I can use to mark all of the do-gooder airheads on a map, preferably with a GPS locator that tells me when they leave their house, so I don’t accidentally bump into one at the drug store and have to listen to him wax endlessly about what he’s doing to save the world.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
