Sandusky Register

I received an interesting piece of mail. It was not a bill, a letter from Nigeria saying I won money, or correspondence from a long lost friend. This letter contained some deep personal information about myself. Not only was this person able to get my address but he was also able to find much more information on me in just seconds. How did he even get my name in the first place? From the Sandusky Register publishing my name, age and county along with all the other CCW holders.

If I didn't know better, I'd guess that a recent (unsigned) Toledo Blade editorial, entitled "NRA puppets", and another published in the (Hamilton) Journal-News ("Keeping gun data secret is criminal") were written by anti-gun New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg himself.

While it does appear that Bloomberg has requested that his friends in the media begin an editorial campaign lamenting his recent setbacks in Congress, it is more likely, at least in the case of the Toledo paper, that the typically misleading editorial was penned by Blade editorial board member Dan Simpson, who just a few short months ago proposed a plan to disarm America's law-abiding gun owners.

This time, newspapers are turning their attention to the gun ban lobby's failure to force the public release of confidential firearm trace data for matters completely unrelated to a bona fide criminal investigation. And as per usual, the editorial writers had to ignore essential pieces of information in what could truly be better described as "Bloomberg puppet" pieces.
