Newspaper That Published Gun-Owners List Hires Armed Guards 1435
inode_buddha writes "Not long ago we ran a story about how a NY newspaper published lists of gun owners. Now, it seems the same newspaper has hired armed guards in response to unspecified threats to the editor, amid 'large volumes of negative response.' From the article: 'The editor, Caryn McBride, told police the newspaper hired a private security company whose "employees are armed and will be on site during business hours," the report said. The guards are protecting the newspaper's staff and Rockland County offices in West Nyack, New York.'"

If they wanted to practice what they preach, why not get only government guards, i.e. law enforcement to protect them?
Whats a matter, doesn't law enforcement protect you at all times?

What's that? You don't want to? Well, what are you afraid of? Clearly if you've done nothing wrong, you should have nothing to be afraid of...
