#10  Several of the comments talk about kids being shot by police because they're playing with an Air-soft gun.

SINCE WHEN HAS IT BECOME SOP FOR COPS TO SHOOT KIDS FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT UNDERSTANDING THE SITUATION???

I have the feeling that with the militarization of the police they have become more cowardly and more trigger happy. The cop's response to any situation should NOT be to shoot first.

#4  It's not just tar and feathers. It's boil the tar and apply the feathers in a wind tunnel.

#3  Another "It's for the children" moment. That's the current phrase for stripping adults of fundamental rights. Right up there with "social justice". Note that unlike a hundred years + of legal precedent of the "right to face one's accuser", the state falls back on keeping the anonymity of the caller. That defense should be dropped as quickly as it take any rational person [I know that excludes bureaucrats] to realize they've used to push someone's agenda.

#2  Each and every single "Social Worker" (By whatever name ) Should be fired forever.

That's the only way to STOP this, permanently.

#1  "They said they wanted to see into my safe and see if my guns were registered," Moore said. "I said no; in New Jersey, your guns don't have to be registered with the state; it's voluntary. I knew once I opened that safe, there was no going back."

"I don't like what happened," he said. "You're not even safe in your own house. If they can just show up at any time and make you open safes and go through your house, that's not freedom; it's like tyranny."


Amen sir. It is tyranny, plain and simple. Long past time to push back to an overreaching and tyrannical government.
