"...there are approximately 44,000 legal gun owners in Westchester, Rockland and Putnam counties,
which means that one out of every 23 adults are licensed to own a handgun. Then to provide an
illustration, the paper pinpointed the locations where the guns were registered on Google Maps. It
is this act that has Ball and others up in arms.

It's hard to believe, but Texas has followed the idiot newspaper up in New York, and released a map
(below) of the location of all gun owners. Their locations are marked by red dots on the Texas map.

Why do you think this is "Texas".

The picture really looks like Texas. It's not Delaware or Massachusetts or Maryland.

Before it is news is a web site out of San Francisco California.

They probably got the map from Texas. Only thing I can figure. Or stole it from the web.

The best I can tell is that this was not a Texas newspaper, it was a
web post and the site I named seemed to be the first one who posted
it. Now it is everywhere.

The New York case was a newspaper


Yeah, it's a joke!

But, it's probably more true than not, except that there is not enough population in much of west
Texas to show *any* red dots, unless rattlesnakes and scorpions count.


I am not even sure where they got the data. There is no gun
registration in Texas. The only thing they have is a concealed carry
permit but you can have a gun in your car/truck without one. A gun in
the gun rack of a pickup is a common sight.


I think it is a joke, Greg. As in, not real.
