Google Apps - Gun Geo Marker

[Kanewpadle]

Anyone see this? I hope it doesn't work very well. I'm afraid to download it for fear of being tracked.

Correct me if im wrong...but isn't that an invasion of privacy?

This is the kind of **** i think we should be able to sue over...i mean really there is no privacy in this world anymore

This was up a few months ago. I tried to get on and mark all tge dangerous areas around my house......cutlery stores, police stations, ice cream shops, Lowes/Home Dpt.....etc. but I had a problem. I live in Pa bug the program would show that I live in Fairax Va!

I read about this app on another forum about a month ago. I closed my gmail account, and will not use google as a search engine, because of it's exsistence. I don't use google chrome as a browser, so no loss there. I'd like to post here, what google, and the app creator can do with their app, but I'll play nice, for the moment.

I've seen reports that due to the outrage it was at least partially disabled by Google but I haven't found a site with specifics as to how or what was disabled within it or what functionality may remain. This "stymied" (NRA ILA's word) version can still be downloaded.

I'd encourage everyone who has some spare time to download it, and mark every police station, military installation, starbucks, grocery store, and so on with it.

The best way to handle this BS is to overload it so much with bad info that its simply broken.

If I would be on that map I would mark all the houses around me.

If you will read the fine print on the apps in googles playstore, about 95% tell you they want to track your location and how you use them, which is why I am very careful about which apps I download and use and I always read the fine print before doing so. They tell you that by downloading and installing you agree to their terms.

LoL @ this app.

Maybe they can use something like this to track down all the Meth Labs here in South Louisiana. If its as easy to track gun owners. For sure it has to be just as easy to track down people who buy all the ingredients to cook their Meth.

As for this app working or anything of that nature. I DONT THINK SO.

What happens if u move. Does the app automatically know where u moved to? LoL.

What happens if u dont have a physical mailing address (u get ur mail from a PO Box). Does the app say that the gun owner lives at the post office?

 

[steelslaver]

Lol my neighborhood, town, county and state must have just about every address marked it this thing works. What a joke. To assume that someone has or doesn't have guns in a residents based on this app would be one of the all time examples of "garbage in garbage out".

The description is funny.
