"A New York newspaper published an interactive map listing names and addresses of licensed handgun permit holders in the Westchester and Rockland counties of New York, drawing criticism from all sides. \nThe Google Map lets you zoom in and locate by first and last name of licensed handgun \u2014 pistol or revolver \u2014 owners along with their address. The map does not indicate what weapons a license-holder owns and excludes assault rifles, like what was used in the Sandy Hook school shooting in Newtown, Conn.\nThe article, titled \"The gun owner next door: What you don't know about the weapons in your neighborhood,\" shows only people  permitted to own or carry handguns, and has drawn more than 1,700 comments since it was published on the Journal News website Tuesday.  \"Being included in this map does not mean the individual at a specific location owns a weapon, just that they are licensed to do so,\" the Journal News said in a post with the map.\nThe public data used to create the map was compiled using Freedom of Information Act requests from the paper.\n\"How about a map of the editorial staff and publishers of Gannett and Journal News with names and addresses of their families,\" one commenter said.\n\"Why don't you do something helpful, like trying to find out where the ILLEGAL GUNS are kept?\" another commenter added.\nAlthough background checks are required to purchase a weapon or obtain a permit, under current laws the bureau of Alcohol, Tabacco and Firearms is unable to create a database of all gun owners. \nIn the wake of the mass killings at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut and the recent killings of two upstate New York volunteer firefighters, gun control has moved to the forefront of the national debate. Tell us in the comments: What do you think of the newspaper's use of the interactive map?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
