Shady government-tied organization making list of every registered Virginia gun owner

[kpete]

Uh-oh, looks like the Republicans are in some hot water with the base again. As of very-soon-now, there's a new Republican-backed Virginia law making it illegal to disclose the names of Virginia's proud concealed-carry permit owners; you wouldn't want that information to fall into the wrong hands, after all, like media outlets who want to make public maps of it or the secret Obama-United Nations black helicopter-having army that is coming any day now to take all those guns, just-you-wait.

Turns out, though, the only group currently seeking that list of Virginia gun owners seems to be the Republican Party itself.

Before it becomes the law of the land, Republican Party of Virginia Executive Director Anthony Ready did what he does every year. He FOIAed the name, mailing address, birth date, country of citizenship, telephone number and date of registration of every permit holder in Virginia. The only piece of information they asked to have redacted was the permit holder's Social Security Number.

This request was dated June 6, 2013 less than a month before the release of this information in this fashion will be illegal in Virginia.
