I wonder how CPS in NJ would have reacted if they saw the picture of me when I was 5 years old, holding my first rifle? A bunch of knee jerk reactions by the liberals.

CPS should look at their own priorities! How many children were beaten, abandoned, abused, or worse while they're looking at this smiling, warmly dressed, apparently cared for son who's proudly displaying a gift he received? I'll wager he's already been to a range several times BEFORE receiving this gift. CPS apparently doesn't know what their job is!

Based on what is reported here, child protective services overstepped their boundaries. (And for those who aren't familiar with me, I am an advocate of gun control).

the father should have turned over his guns, one bullet at a time. These agents were trespassing.

The Gargoyle seems to have not read J Walker's comment below ("The gun that child is holding is a .22 caliber copy of an AR. It is not, by any means, an assault rifle."), or the full story as referenced from The Blaze. But, then again, he appears to have a hatred for Conservatives, Republicans, Gun owners, common sense, integrity, and civility. He does, however, seem to have a great love of using "lol" in all his comments. Childish.

All thats missing from the pick is a vote Romney sticker lol. If he was holding it outdoors while hunting would be one thing. This was probably taken at his birthday party lol stupid parents. Its cool maybe he will snap and use it on them and we can watch the made for tv movie about how we should all feel bad.
