Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

March 20, 2013

Shawn Moore of Carney?s Point, New Jersey was visiting a friend?s house when he got a disturbing call from his wife, who said that police and child welfare investigators were at their home.

By the time he got back to his house, Moore ? a certified hunting safety instructor -- was on the phone with attorney Evan Nappen, who specializes in Second Amendment cases. The investigators were demanding access to the family?s gun safe to see if all of their firearms were registered. Moore demanded to see a search warrant, and when none was produced, he ordered the investigators to leave.

The visit apparently followed an anonymous tip prompted by a Facebook photo of Moore?s 11-year-old son Josh, who is holding a .22-caliber rifle he had received as a birthday present. Although the New Jersey Department of Children and Families wouldn?t confirm that it was responding to an anonymous report, department spokesperson Kristen Brown told Fox News that investigators ?are required to follow up on every single allegation that comes into the central registry.? The raid on Moore?s home, Brown insisted, represented a ?prudent and wise? policy.

That makes perfect sense, if the terms ?prudent and wise? are functional synonyms for ?totalitarian.?

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
