July 11, 201313 yr https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=edu.ucsd.visarts.walkingtools.gungeomarker Here's a 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. I'm intrigued by the part about "situations where proper rights to own or use any particular type of firearm may not exist." Does this make all of NJ a danger zone?
July 11, 201313 yr Author Wouldn't this be a violation of privacy? Are you suggesting that your "privacy" is more important that the safety of our children?
July 11, 201313 yr Look at the reviews 5 star 21 4 star 1 3 star 1 2 star 2 1 star 866 Good entertainment reading the reviews.
July 11, 201313 yr The poster's anonymity is protected, but the SUSPECTED gun owner's house is not. No global browsing. That's good. So go up and down your block and every neighboring block and tag everyone's house. Now all the information is tainted. App is useless. Might just piss off a few neighbors enough to do something about it. See how we feel.
July 11, 201313 yr Might be a fun project to geotag the homes of all of the legislators who vote against gun rights.
July 12, 201313 yr Here is the developer http://visarts.ucsd.edu/faculty/brett-stalbaum We need to fill his mailbox with our 2 cents.
July 12, 201313 yr Let's take a road trip and tag all the gun-grabber's homes!!!! ... LOL And let's email the developer so he can create an app for finding drugs on the streets, hookers, and whatever else crap that will help society!
July 12, 201313 yr I just went to google play and tagged it as unappropriate and left my comments, I suggest we all do the same. Maybe the people at google have more of a brain then this shmuck.
July 12, 201313 yr I don't have a droid, but someone should tag all the houses of all the mayors against guns
July 12, 201313 yr I just tried to tag UCSD where the developer is employed but the app only allows you to tag the area in your current GPS location. It has no option to put in a specific address.
July 12, 201313 yr The fact that this app exists makes me sad. There is comfort knowing there are 2k 1 star ratings and the avg rating is 1.1, 1 being the lowest possible. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
July 12, 201313 yr I wrote about this on my blog and posted websites for further info and who you can contact. This app is being touted by some as a way to establish a national gun registry by the people. Just report everyone you know with a gun and over time there will be a large database of gun owners established by citizens. Very dangerous so take this seriously.
July 12, 201313 yr I say we all download it and just keep adding bs locations near us. Flood it with incorrect data
July 12, 201313 yr I say we all download it and just keep adding bs locations near us. Flood it with incorrect data That's what I say. Post so many locations that the server file storage has to be constantly increased. Who is going to pay for that. Inaccurate datum will make this app useless.
July 12, 201313 yr Yah, agreed. I may have to try it and mark: post office, farmers market, local Acme, shopping center, lots of neighbors, gas station, STS, pizza place, chinese restaurant, ice cream shop, Duncan Donuts, WAWA and a few hundred more. How stupid can they get???????????????????????????????????

This app is being touted by some as a way to establish a national gun registry by the people. Just report everyone you know with a gun and over time there will be a large database of gun owners established by citizens. Very dangerous so take this seriously. Ridiculous. At least half of households have guns. The current reality is probably much higher. You can't have an effective registry of people if it includes almost everyone and also has a +/- 50% error rate.
July 12, 201313 yr His personal FB profile and all of his personal information was found in a matter of minutes, which I found amusing. As one person stated "Great job Brett you just pissed off 100 million lawful gun owners who now know everything about you" I give the app a few weeks before its taken down.
July 13, 201313 yr I downloaded it again. Every place I go I am going to tag. Just to flood it with false info
July 13, 201313 yr Imagine the backlash if someone created an app that showed where everyone on some form of public assistance lived.
July 13, 201313 yr Might be a fun project to geotag the homes of all of the legislators who vote against gun rights. Agreed! I say we all download it and just keep adding bs locations near us. Flood it with incorrect data Everyone's house/apartment I go to tonight at work will be tagged...
July 13, 201313 yr we need to come out with an app to mark non gun owners!! mark all the police stations..
July 14, 201313 yr I don't have a droid, but someone should tag all the houses of all the mayors against guns That tag would be Legit as most own firearms. Its really mayors against guns for you!! http://xrepublic.tv/node/3732
