    I think that having the addresses of each resident wouldn't help or change the right of someone using a gun.

    I agree with Neci Brown. However, reading this article made me think about how we do not have any privacy at all. A crazy person could easily find my address on-line via Facebook, “Find My Friend" App, 411.com, etc. and attack or stalk my home.

    I think that if people want to own a hand gun than whats the big deal of their name being public

    Ahopta- Would you want a stranger to know what your name and address is?
