Good idea?
You could see which neighbors were on the dole and maybe help them?
Public info. I think a searchable database should be discussed.
EBT monies should be for staples.

    yeah let's just shame people when they are down on their luck.

    you two are fucking heartless.

    blame the poor, because, you know, its all their own fault...

    What purpose would this really serve other than to shame who are truly down at this time. So because some use this card ebt at casinos or strip clubs which should never ever happen its ok to give their names to the public?

    I referred to the gun people as morons earlier but this really takes the fucking cake.

    You two are in a class of your own. It's incredible, actually.

    Why? Please explain the similarity between owning a gun and being poor.

    No similarity. However if someone wants to invade my privacy then lets just start posting up addresses for everything. These anti's want to cite the FOIA but only when they aren't the target. So if gun owners can be targeted for public display then so should any group. Why is your (not you specifically) privacy more important than mine? I personally don't need to know who is on welfare, just like nobody needs to know I own firearms. None of it is anyone's business, but if one group is singled out then every group should be fair game. Don't like it? Then don't invade my privacy.

    sadly for some, but poverty is generational. those born poor tend to stay poor and their kids grow up to become poor adults.

    i don't see any reason to publish the names of welfare recipients. to me it is just a matter of being a jerk.

    the public has a right to know if the guy next door has an arsenal.

    no it is not fair game. you are in possession of a deadly weapon. the public has a right to know that.

    Actually I'm done with this. I've got better things to do. I'll NEVER give up what I own. I will also NEVER register. Deal with it.

    we are not a society of dicks.

    unfortunately the dicks seem to be yelling the loudest on tv and internet forums about things like this.

    they make all of us look bad.

    if it becomes law you have to register and you refuse to do so you are breaking the law.

    fine example to set.

    how patriotic...

    Ahhhh, if people who own a deadly weapon are identified, all "groups" should be identified.

    I say we use lambs blood on the doors

    An X for people on welfare
    An XX for black people
    An XXXXXXXXX for Muslims
    A smiley face for white people

    All "groups" are fair game, right? This sounds right up the rights alley, right?

    also, you probably should not be announcing your intent to break any potential registration laws on the internet.

    it can be used as evidence.

    just looking out for ya.
