New Phone App Allows People to Pinpoint Gunowners In Their Area


UCSD Lecturer Brett Stallbaum has released an Android app called Gun Geo Marker to allow people to ‘Geolocate Dangerous Guns and Owners.’

According to Slashdot, the app description states: ‘The Gun Geo Marker operates very simply, letting parents and community members mark, or geolocate, sites associated with potentially unsafe guns and gun owners.

Description

Geolocate Dangerous Guns and Owners with the Gun Geo Marker. Geolocation means marking dangerous sites on the App’s map so that you and others can be aware of the risks in your neighborhood.

The Gun Geo Marker operates very simply, letting parents and community members mark, or geolocate, sites associated with potentially unsafe guns and gun owners. These locations are typically the homes or businesses of suspected unsafe gun owners, but might also be public lands or other locations where guns are not handled safely, or situations where proper rights to own or use any particular type of firearm may not exist. Electronically marking these locations can help others in the area learn about their geography of risk from gun accidents or violence. No matter what your safety concern with firearms might be, you should feel free to use this tool to provide the most accurate information you can such that others can make their own safety decisions.

As a crowd sourced information tool, the information about dangerous gun sites comes from users. Please follow us at http://www.gungeomarker.org, https://twitter.com/gungeomarker and https://www.facebook.com/GunGeoMarker.

Users gave the App a 1.2 average rating on on 1-5 point scale. They are not impressed.

Leave gun owners alone, the bad guys are the ones people should be worried about. Not your every day citizen that has no intention of gong out and killing people.

To many on the left, anyone who owns guns is a bad gun owner, except themselves.

Burglars and home invaders will love this. Identify the armed citizens and attack their unarmed neighbors. The people responsible for this app are sick..
