Sometimes it seems the pro gun folks are against anything that might increase gun safety.  They oppose it first, then come up with reasons why. For example, first they might say this.
“This is dangerous and invasive,” wrote Levi Russell in a review of the app. “Dangerous because it allows criminals to determine where they might steal firearms….you are an accomplice to any firearm theft that will occur due to the existence of this app.”

Then they might say this.
Whether an app or online, publishing the addresses of gun owners is a risky proposition, experts warn.

“This makes those who don't have guns an easier target for criminals. It’s a safety issue,” John Lott, gun expert and author of the book "More Guns, Less Crime," told FoxNews.com.

It doesn't much matter if the objections make sense or even if they contradict each other.  Objecting is what's important.
