Cottrell wouldn’t let them.” New Jersey State Police said troopers took action as part of “a possible school threat,” but “determined that Mr. Cottrell’s weapons did not need to be seized.” Cottrell agreed to keep his guns outside of his house until police finished their investigation; his son was forbidden from returning to school. “It is outrageous and unacceptable that a student’s concern for lax security at his school could result in an attempt to confiscate his parents’ own firearms,” said Scott L. Bach, executive director of the Association of New Jersey Rifle & Pistol Clubs and a member of the NRA board of directors. “In the Garden State, the usual approach is to confiscate first and ask questions later, and victims of this approach often don’t know their rights,” Bach said. “In this case, the victim pushed back and confiscation was avoided — but the circumstances surrounding the incident are outrageous. A student expressing concern over lack of security is not a reason to send police to the student’s home — but it might be a reason to send police to the school to keep students and teachers safe.” Bach says police use “intimidation tactics to bully citizens into voluntarily surrendering their firearms under the confusion and fear of an unexpected visit from law enforcement.” Gun owners, Bach says, “should always call counsel before consenting to a seizure of firearms.” “The terrible violation of Second Amendment rights this American hero has had to endure at the hands of law enforcement officers, whose job it is to keep us safe, not take away our ability to defend ourselves, is a disgrace and should serve as a wake-up call for all citizens of what will happen in every house across this country if we do not resolve to stand firm in fighting gun control,” said Dudley Brown, President of the National Association for Gun Rights. Poster Comment: This is police over reach. They need to be told they have Constitutional guidelines they MUST follow.

Here is a better idea. Raise your children to be smart and not talk about shit that might get the state riled up. Kids are fucking stupid these days and their parents clearly failed to instill in them the enemies to freedom are lurking around every fucking corner waiting to catch you unaware. Especially it seems in any liberal run gulag.

50 years ago we read about such horrors going on in the USSR as the ultimate shock about communism compared to "capitalism". Now everything in Masters of Deceit (or at least The Russians) is coming true here 'n' now!

Bringing you democracy, or else! there were strains of VD that were incurable, and they were first found in the Philippines and then transmitted to the Korean working girls via US military. The 'incurables' we were told were first taken back to a military hospital in the Philippines to quietly die. – 4um
