app asks users to expose the home addresses of gun owners

The developers have quite the background in alleged hacktivism and alleged cyberterrorism.

I sure wouldn't trust their app based on that.

They had to know that the data in this app would be worthless. I think this is nothing more than a publicity stunt.

I was just fixing to say this. No way this thing could have any practical use. Too many jokesters (and malcontents) out there these days ...

Actually, they can get the location of your phone when you make a post. Pretty sure the "nutty ones" are filling it up with false posts.

Since it's stored with a third party and is a business record, it *can* be used against you without any sort of warrant.

Honeypot.

Does this include police stations, military bases, and the governor's mansion?

I wonder if the makers can be held accountable legally if some zealot takes it upon himself to deal with a gun owner using this app as a resource.
Unless of course the gun owner deals with him first.

You know that marking those places is a good way to end up in the TSDB.

NSA and DHS know no bounds.

"The general guideline is that you should mark any location about which you have a gun related concern, while trying to provide enough extra information for others to make their own determination about safety."

Sounds to me like anywhere with a Gunbuster sign needs to be marked as "unsafe".
