Gun Geo Marker - Android Application to " map " unsafe gun owners.

[duane black]

Came across this application on another forum I frequent. The reviews are pretty awesome.

Basically a southern California professor thinks it's a good idea to map gun owners on a smart phone application. Anybody want to write a review ?

They really should drug-test all public employees, especially "professors".. and have a locating app for convicted drug abusers.

"I almost wasn't going to download this app because I live in Chicago, which has the best gun laws in the country meaning nobody around here would ever own a gun. I did anyway on a lark, and yesterday a guy jumped out of the dark with what I can only assume was a high capacity Assault Glockamatic with armor piercing clipazines. I quickly pulled out my phone and threatened to tag him with this app. He then saw my Hillary 2016 sticker and Flying Spaghetti Monster tattoo and embraced the glory of the Progressive Way, threw down his Fully Slaughtermatic Bushmaster AR-47 Childkiller and pledged his allegiance to Obama and Biden. Thanks, Gun Geo Marker!

That one made me LOL man. There are some great ones in there. Even the 5 star reviews are jokes.

On a serious note, hard to believe someone would think this is a good idea. Talk about targeted theft, among other things. My review asked him if he could imagine doing this to another group of people practicing a lawful activity.

Religious, sexual orientation, political affiliation, etc.

On a side note the WA side of the columbia is free of guns !

I have a couple of thoughts. I don't think it will be that popular. If gets more popular, just to mark a lot of things so the data becomes diluted garbage. Libraries and portable toilets come to mind.

I'm guessing most of the things added to it will be jokes, people wanting to hurt the data quality, or people seeking revenge.

One big spot over D.C., tag it all......what gov't buildings have full time armed security? Just courthouses and jails? And how many celebrities and gov't representatives have we seen with armed security? Tag 'em all!!!

EDIT: Anybody here who could code an app to tag gun-free zones, and home-owners who don't agree with firearm ownership? Is that malicious?

Thank you, you made my cartel boss very happy!
My name is Jorge Luis Juan Gonzaga and I am an enforcer for Los Burros Muertes, a Mexican drug cartel based in Tijuana BC. Since the unfortunate events of last year when our largest firearms supplier Mr. Attorney General Eric Holder was investigated by the US Congress regarding the joint business venture we had with his representatives from BATF, our supply of US made AK47 and AR15 rifles kind of dried up. You may have heard about this in the media under the name "Fast & Furious". It was a hit that seriously affected our capacity to procure illegal guns from America and the fact that Pres. Obama was himself under suspicion to have been the one who masterminded the entire operation didn't helped either - in particular after he used the power of his office to stop the Congress from subpoenaing documents related to the communications between his advisers and the BATF officials involved in Fast & Furious. As you can imagine we were desperately looking for an alternative source of firearms to replace the ones supplied until last year by Mr. Attorney General Holder. This is when I found this wonderful app. Now I can locate gringo gun owners and steal their guns. Muchas gracias!

Hilarious.

I could. I have been looking for a reason to write an Android app. Have to see if I get the time and energy though.

I'm presuming that to the professor one becomes an unsafe gun owner by possessing a gun.

Of course, only the Feds, the military and DHS can be trusted with a firearm....They can gerrymander elections but they will have to get their hands really dirty taking away the last PIECE of freedom we possess.

Try it. You can tag random locations with random strings of profanity in complete anonymity. I'm tagging all sorts spots just to clog up the map.

Cool. Might be in the neighborhood of some Ceasefire offices in the coming weeks. I'll make sure to tag them. Best reason I can think of to go around them.

I'm also travelling for work next week. I'll be sure to tag places with some family friendly phrases.

The downside is that you can only tag once every 24 hrs....

TAG DHS, Justice Dept and the Whitehouse for sure. Oh yes and the IRS.

 

[Gaucho Gringo]

They need an app to pinpoint all non gun owners. The criminals would greatly appreciate knowing where they could do all kinds of criminal acts without the danger of getting shot.

 

[Glock Jock]

people need to tag everything they can until it is useless and nobody takes it seriously.

I emailed them to tell them how much I love their app and got this response:

"But we are sorry to inform, this is an unmonitored email box. If you
have questions about any of our projects, please refer to contact
information at the walkingtools website, or call (225) 267-7346."

 

[Certaindeaf]

Walkingtools? Ha, that's rich.. what a buncha tools.

 

[biggie24420]

I'ma download this app and troll with it hahahahah. I'm gonna mark the police department, the SS office, the IRS building downtown aaaaaaahahahahahah I'm gonna have fun with this app for sure. Someone mark the white house with the app on their phone... that be the best.

 

[Skier]

I was thinking that if we each mark our entire neighborhood, it might keep unwanted people (including criminals with smartlhones) out of our area, for fear of all the dangerous guns in the area. ;-)
