Jan. 19, 2013 -- Statement from County Executive Robert P. Astorino on the Journal News taking down its interactive map of gun owners:
"From the moment the Journal News published the gun owners map, it put law-abiding citizens, including judges, police officers and victims of domestic violence, at risk. I had asked the publisher to take down the map as a matter of public safety and common sense. Though four weeks too late, I am glad to see the Journal News has finally done the right thing and taken the map down."
