Clearly not content to come in second place to the privacy-violating jerks at the Journal News, Gawker has published a list of all legal gun owners in New York City in 2010:
Here is a list of all the assholes who own guns in New York City: gaw.kr/zxBqiok

So lawful gun owners are “assholes”? Stay classy, Gawker.
Gun rights advocates are rightly outraged:
Shorter @gawker: “Hey NYers! Don’t register your weapons! We’ll out you!” #tcot #p2

Publishing lists of gun registrations isn’t going to cut down on guns, it’s going to cut down on registrations.

I wonder how many battered women who own a gun for self-defense are on the list @gawker released today?
— Trent (@Travesham) January 8, 2013
Apparently @johnjcook and @gawker would prefer to criminalize legal gun owners than write about actual news #twisters #tcot #guncontrol #nra

Most irresponsible piece of “journalism” I have seen in ages goes to @johnjcook of Gawker. Way to out LICENSED gun owners, you prick.

Thanks to an assbag named @johnjcook from @gawker everyone who has a registered gun in New York is a target
— Kent Vig (1 of 5) (@badfr0g) January 8, 2013
So is it now self-evident according to @gawker that if you register a gun in NYC you’re an A-hole?

.@gawker Logic: While calling for new gun laws, we’ll punish and insult people who follow current gun laws.
— Sunny (@sunnyright) January 8, 2013
@sunnyright @gawker And owning an unregistered gun to pursue a life of crime means you’re not.
— Dan McLaughlin (@baseballcrank) January 8, 2013
Good work, Gawker. You hate gun-owners, so you map out how to rob people who don’t own guns, for criminals. #cuttingofnosetospiteface

What the hell is wrong with people “outing” those who simply employ their Constitutional rights? gawker.com/5974190/here-i… Looking at @gawker
— Kemberlee Kaye (@red_red_head) January 8, 2013
@gawker wow. I will never visit your site again. this is like a criminals dream: here are the houses you don’t want to break in to
— Jeff Schroeffel (@capdc) January 8, 2013
And some are wondering when the “real journalists” at Gawker will get to other lists:
How would liberals feel if Gawker somehow obtained and published a list of every person that has gotten an abortion?
— AG (@AG_Conservative) January 8, 2013
Hey @gawker — How about you also compile a list of those who used taxpayer money to have abortions. Seems only fair.
— GayPatriot (@GayPatriot) January 8, 2013
@jedediahbila @gawker surprising there’s no list of people who eat at McDonald’s
— Ryan.. frohock (@RFrohock) January 8, 2013
Haha Gawker.Can’t wait for their food stamp list.Profile everyone!!!
— Sean (@SeanWats) January 8, 2013
Dear @gawker, please post a list of actual criminals in New York…say people on parole, and see what happens.
— Right Scoop (@trscoop) January 8, 2013
@jedediahbila @gawker Can we get a list of who gets free birth control? that would be a list worth publishing.
— Mitchell Dinkin (@madlaw1071) January 8, 2013
Not being a reporter like @johnjcook ‘s I challenge him or someone @gawker to list the addresses bars in NYC most likely to lead to rape
— Kurtis Marsh (D) (@kurtismarsh) January 8, 2013
Where’s the list that shows that @johnjcook from @gawker is a raging douchebag? Surely there is one? gawker.com/5974190/here-i…
— Ben Howe (@BenHowe) January 8, 2013
Cross-reference that list of legal gun owners w/those who commit crimes w/illegal guns, @gawker. I await your breathtaking expose.
— Miké (@ThePantau) January 8, 2013
It’s gonna be a while. Hope you brought a book.
We’re not sure when those who follow the law and exercise their Constitutional rights came to be considered the most vile members of our society, but it seems to us that Gawker’s more than happy to have played a role in populating that bizarro notion. How absolutely disgusting.
There’s a commenter on that @gawker page saying their stalker contacted them after their name was first published by the Journal. Good going
— Veruca Salt (D) (@LilMissRightie) January 8, 2013
Here’s a list of all the a$$holes who think they’re credible journalists: @gawker.

Update:
Gawker’s John Cook has modified the headline of his “article”:
Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk! Pathetic.
