THIS is something the NRA should get involved in.
File suit. Discover who ordered the investigation and raid.
Attach their house, cars, retirement accounts to the civil suit.
Get them under oath and force them to admit that it wasn’t law, but their own prejudices that caused them to order the investigation.
It should scare the hell of whoever ordered this raid.
Find out, and and make them worry.
A lot.
The story is bad, but is “raid” really the word to use here?
The cops showed up with the DFS lady and they tried to get the guy to open his safe. They had no warrant and really no PC, but they went ahead and showed up and tried to gain access to the home and safe, and failed. Good on the father for standing up, getting his lawyer on the phone and standing firm.
I don’t see “raid” as the word to use, but they father should definitely make a fuss.
...then THEY'VE succeeded, make a call to your local Rep and scare the hell out of THEM!
What town was this in? I saw the FOX Show and they never clarified it.
Three ways to take over a nation:
1. Take control of the media. DONE
2. Flood the country with money. DONE
3. Remove all firearms from the populace. WORKING ON IT
another account....
The KKK was shut down as an organization by such a huge award in a suit brought by the Southern Poverty Law Center that it lost its property. This same tactic should be used by the NRA to go after the agencies and personnel responsible for this outrage.
That's about as far as I got. No need for me to read further.
It sucks, but it is the way it is.
There was no raid. They knocked on the door and demanded to see the guns. The homeowner was on the speakerphone with his attorney who said they would need a warrant. They never saw the guns.
Not that this does not really pi$$ me off, but this was not what most people would see as a “raid”.
Doesn’t government have anything more useful to do with its time and money? Maybe it’s time to take away some of the money.
I think that word means what you think it means!
That word you use... I do not think it means what you think it means.
This scares the hell out of me! I hope this attracts massive outrage! Little by little. . . bit by bit.

I’ve seen 8 or 10 different threads on FR alone about this. Its in the blogosphere. But thats about it.
It’s only “inconceivable” if you haven’t been paying the slightest shred of attention to what’s been happening to peaceful gun owners in states like New Jersey and New York.
(I used to say “law-abiding” in addition to “peaceful,” but given the laws these days, that’s no longer a term of approbation.)
Reminded me of the Garden Song. I rewrote the lyrics.
0bama’s Communist Garden song
Inch by inch, row by row
Gonna make dictatorship grow
Cut their liberties deep and low
Gonna make it Communist ground
Inch by inch, row by row
Please bless these seeds I sow
So the people really don’t know
‘till the Constitution comes tumbling down
Pulling freedom and trampling rights
The people won’t even put up a fight
The media fools will say its right
Cause the transformation is close at hand
Grab their guns, take their wealth and brains
Throw their religion down the drain
‘till their bodies no longer strain
Against the new Communist command
I especially liked how that social services (and, if there were ever a bogus profession, that’s it) refused to give her name.
They need to find the busybody who “SWATted” them.
The cops were not checking Facebook on their own. This sort of thing is DANGEROUS.
