Re: Gun Geo Marker: compromising the safety
At this stage, an honest person would simply admit that his project was a failure.
But then honesty has never been a common characteristic among gungrabbers.
As can be expected from his ilk, the cretinous Brett Stalbaum has gun into “spin mode”.
From the latest entry in his blog at Geolocate Dangerous Guns and Owners | a project of the walkingtools.net laboratory…
So, does this look like the response is entirely from some small fringe minority, from the “radical anti-gun-safety community”?
Surely, if any significant portion of the population agreed with this idiot and his methods, then there'd be a lot more than 46 “five-star” reviews against 2,662 “one-star” reviews, and there might even be a few of those “five-star” reviews that actually contained genuine positive remarks rather than the heavy sarcasm that I found in every one that I read.
It is certainly interesting to contrast this result with the lie that the anti-Second-Amednment types were pushing a few months ago about how anywhere from eighty-five to ninety-five percent of the American population supported the policies they were promoting. This isn't exactly a scientific poll, but if we were to assume that all the “five-star” reviews were sincere, this indicates approximately 1.7% support for this loser.

After writing the above, but before submitting it, I noticed something. He's updated teh app's description on Google Play to contain teh same spin as in his latest blog entry, and he's added the following line at the end:
Really? Overwhelmingly bad reviews of his app, and his concept; and he doesn't recognize it as an indication of just how bad his app and his concept were, but rather he takes pride in it, for what he thinks it shows about his enemies?
Either he is far more deeply buried in his ivory tower beneath the huge piles of his own arrogance and narcissism than most of us are capable of even imagining, or else he incredibly is desperate to put a positive spin on what he must fully know is undeniably an overwhelmingly negative result.

An aspect of the project which did not work – nor did I expect it to in this particular case – was the use of anonymous marking of sites. Simply stated, the project suffered numerous hacking attacks that filled the database with false info, not to mention that anti-gun-safety types have also used the app itself as a tool for mischief.

Secondly, the App was a honeypot. As a gun owner myself, I am all too aware of a smaller component of the community that sees any attempt at improving gun safety as an affront to their second amendment rights.·

So, the project is also a culture-jamming exercise intended to draw out earnest expressions from the radical anti-gun-safety community, expressions that will now become part of a second phase of the project which involves aesthetic manifestations. The app itself will remain online for a time so that people can play with the user interface, after which it will morph into a purely “documentation” application about the project.·

The topic is the Gun Geo Maker app. Return to that topic.
