Clearly not content to come in second place to the privacy-violating jerks at the Journal News, Gawker has published a list of all legal gun owners in New York City in 2010:
Here is a list of all the assholes who own guns in New York City: http://t.co/gGMrVPgi

So lawful gun owners are “assholes”? Stay classy, Gawker.
Gun rights advocates are rightly outraged:
Shorter @Gawker: "Hey NYers! Don't register your weapons! We'll out you!" #tcot #p2

Apparently @johnjcook and @gawker would prefer to criminalize legal gun owners than write about actual news #twisters #tcot #guncontrol #nra

So is it now self-evident according to @gawker that if you register a gun in NYC you're an A-hole?

.@Gawker Logic: While calling for new gun laws, we'll punish and insult people who follow current gun laws.

@sunnyright @Gawker And owning an unregistered gun to pursue a life of crime means you're not.

Good work, Gawker. You hate gun-owners, so you map out how to rob people who don't own guns, for criminals. #cuttingofnosetospiteface

What the hell is wrong with people "outing" those who simply employ their Constitutional rights? http://t.co/5k690JcM Looking at @Gawker

@Gawker wow. I will never visit your site again. this is like a criminals dream: here are the houses you don't want to break in to

And some are wondering when the “real journalists” at Gawker will get to other lists:
How would liberals feel if Gawker somehow obtained and published a list of every person that has gotten an abortion?

Dear @Gawker, please post a list of actual criminals in New York…say people on parole, and see what happens.

@JedediahBila @Gawker Can we get a list of who gets free birth control? that would be a list worth publishing.

Not being a reporter like @johnjcook 's I challenge him or someone @gawker to list the addresses bars in NYC most likely to lead to rape

Cross-reference that list of legal gun owners w/those who commit crimes w/illegal guns, @Gawker. I await your breathtaking expose.

It’s gonna be a while. Hope you brought a book.
We’re not sure when those who follow the law and exercise their Constitutional rights came to be considered the most vile members of our society, but it seems to us that Gawker’s more than happy to have played a role in populating that bizarro notion. How absolutely disgusting.

Here's a list of all the a$$holes who think they're credible journalists: @Gawker.

Update:
Gawker’s John Cook has modified the headline of his “article”:
Nyuk-nyuk-nyuk! Pathetic.
