Google/Android App to Geo Mark Gun owners

[calmex]

No kidding. A genius who works at U California San Diego wrote "Gun Geo Marker", an Android App that Google has allowed in the Play Store that:

"invites users to mark the homes and businesses of 'suspected unsafe gun owners … to help others in the area learn about their geography of risk from gun accidents or violence.' "

"As a gun owner myself, I want to see our rights preserved, and thwarting the will of 90 percent of the American people who want common sense, Constitutional measures to improve gun safety is mathematically unwise," Stalbaum said.

Personally I want proof this guy is a "gun owner", more than just having maybe inherited one that he's never shot.

Just how does flagging someone as a dangerous gun owner improve gun safety in that home? How does this make children safer? Is he naive enough to think people will use it to only flag "dangerous" gun owners, and how would those people determine someone is a dangerous gun owner versus a non-dangerous one?

IMO this guy will never understand the danger of what he is doing, but it wouldn't bother me if 4-5 million gun owners tried to explain it to Google. Of course Google is already pretty strongly anti-gun, taking guns and related items down from Google Shopping, so I doubt we'll get a lot of sympathy.

Well, for sure, if the names of thousands of people who don't own a gun, never would own a gun, are wont to become ill at the sight of a gun start appearing on the list "out of the blue" with no regard to the truth of the matter, it's something that will pretty quickly be looked at and probably withdrawn. This sort of thing is a two-edged sword right from the get-go. It's not a good idea and it's too easily monkeyed with to last very long I think.

everyone should just go on and flag every house in their state, state capital and public officials more the once, banks, graves in the cemetery flood them with so much information maybe it will overload. At the very least no one will know where guns are or are not. Don't forget to extra mark feinstein's house and office the most along with the white house.

I don't own an Ipad but that was my first thought, I'd flag every anti second amendment idiot that I could, starting with the guy that wrote the app

I downloaded the app a couple days ago and have found it very useful. As I go about my normal business whenever I see an establishment with a no firearms sign posted out front I flag it.
