TAR. FEATHERS. Family’s Home Raided over Facebook Photo of Child’s Rifle.

New Jersey police and Dept. of Children and Families officials raided the home of a firearms instructor and demanded to see his guns after he posted a Facebook photo of his 11-year-old son holding a rifle.

“Someone called family services about the photo,” said Evan Nappen, an attorney representing Shawn Moore. “It led to an incredible, heavy-handed raid on his house. They wanted to see his gun safe, his guns and search his house. They even threatened to take his kids.”

Moore was not arrested or charged.

I hope that he sues, and I hope that the names of the officials involved are publicized far and wide. Along with pictures with the word “Idiot” on their foreheads posted in their neighborhoods. I’m very glad that he told them to get lost when they couldn’t produce a warrant.
