We have not talked about the Commercial Appeal’s privacy-invading database of Tennessee Handgun Carry Permit Holders for a while, but that database seems to have been refreshed recently (03JUL, to be specific), and I realized that my reciprocal listing of the public information available on the staff of the Commercial … [...] Given the non-stop, unending stream of the same baseless hoplophobia, the same anti-rights stance, and the same specious arguments spewing forth from the Commercial Appeal, I honestly got out of the habit of addressing their idiotic editorials, fun though a good fisking can be. However, what with HB3125 moving … [...] Even though my collection of posts debunking the anti-rights claims of the Commercial Appeal, denouncing their privacy-invading database, and disproving their copy-pasting of erroneous VPC studies is still in existance and has been moved to greener pastures, I have largely given up on addressing the newspaper’s incessant anti-rights … [...] Here we are, just a little over a year after the Commercial Appeal started its campaign invading the privacy of hundreds of thousands of law-abiding citizens throughout Tennessee, and my documentation of those disgusting actions finally has its own, separate, undated page. It has been a little while since … [...] One of the favorite arguments brought to bear against those of us who are concerned about the publication of privacy-invading lists of handgun carry permit holders basically boils down to, “What, they are just publishing publicly-available information – it is not like they are trying to punish you for exercising … [...] In what appears to be a continuing trend among [...] Heads-up to all of the peeping-Toms, stalkers, voyeurs, and other privacy-invading predators out there: if you get a job at a major local newspaper and convince them that violating the privacy of over 200,000 people is a good idea, you might just get an award:
[...] I have been going kind of light on the Commercial Appeal of late, simply because I have had other things to write about. However, the God’s honest truth is that they can easily outstrip me – the writers and editors of the Commercial Appeal are paid to write their hoplophobic, … [...] In dealing with Wendi C. Thomas’ most-recent bout of discrimination, I completely missed the current hoplophobic editorial at the Commercial Appeal.
[...] Noted hoplophobe, anti-rights activist, and general-purpose bigot, Wendi C. Thomas, occasionally has her screeds published in the Commercial Appeal, and today’s helping of bald-faced discrimination and ignorance is certainly no different from her usual fare.
Well, then, Wendi, I … [...] As predictable as the rising sun, whenever something positive happens for firearm rights in the state of Tennessee, Chris Peck and the rest of his editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal are right on the spot, spouting off their copious quantities of bigotry and bias like there was no tomorrow. … [...] Unlike the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal, who still cannot be bothered to provide links substantiating the claims and assertions in their editorial writings, Richard Locker appears to have figured out the magic of hyperlinks, and was able to sneak one such link pointing to the Commercial Appeal’s … [...] It is always good to see the staff of the Commercial Appeal continue with their rampantly anti-firearm agenda – it makes it so much easier to call them out as being the discriminating bigots they are. Consider this “news” article, entitled “Memphians debate guns in parks”, and what, exactly, … [...] The Tennessee Senate recently voted that handgun carry permit holders should be allowed to carry their firearms into state and local parks unless the specific municipalities in charge of those parks say otherwise… and, predictably, Chris Peck and the rest of the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal responded with … [...] I would never want to illegitimately skew a dataset in my own favor, but if you would like to make your opinion known concerning legislation allowing handgun carry permit holders to take their firearms into parks in Tennessee, there is a poll where you can do just that. [...] Once again, the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal exposes the fact that they would prefer everyone’s lives being ruled by fear and emotion rather than logic and the Constitution. [...] Of all the specious and outright idiotic arguments put forward by the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal concerning the new legislation to allow law-abiding handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol, the one featured in this moronic editorial pretty much takes the cake. … [...] In an amazing double-victory, HB0962 (the bill to allow handgun carry permit holders to carry their firearms into restaurants that serve alcohol) made it out of committee with no restrictions on it, and HB0959 (the bill to keep handgun carry permit records confidential) made it out of the House … [...] Maybe the Commercial Appeal should start listening to their readers. [...] Given their silence on the topic for the past few weeks, I guess I should not be surprised that Chris Peck and the rest of the editorial staff of the Commercial Appeal are back at their old bigoted hijinks.
