I don't think GP had any way to actually know or think the code involved did a "SELECT *", he was just using that as a clever jokey way of saying "looks like they published all the details they had on gun owners?"

The requirement probably said "publish all", or something along those lines and the person who did it had probably been burned in the past when they had tried to do anything other than implementing requirements like a dumb robot so they rolled their eyes and implemented requirements like a dumb robot while counting down the days to retirement. Somewhere there's probably a closed Jira ticket in which they covered their ass.
