U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Today, the New Hampshire Senate Judiciary Committee sent House Bill 687 to the Senate floor for consideration after a motion to kill the bill failed by a vote of 2-3. Next week, the Senate is expected to hold a floor vote on this firearm seizure bill that would take away the constitutional rights of individuals without due process.

Take Action Against HB 687
House Bill 687, sponsored by Representative Debra Altschiller (D-Rockingham 19), would allow ex parte orders that would suspend Second Amendment rights without adequate due process. Further, if the order is vacated after an individual surrendered their firearms, that individual will have to go to court to have their property returned, unlike when the court wrongfully takes their property away. Knowingly filing a false claim is only a misdemeanor, while violating an order is a Class B felony, punishable by three and a half to seven years of imprisonment. This extreme difference in punishments could lead to false accusations against many law-abiding individuals.
Constitutional rights should only be restricted with sufficient due process of law. Due process limits restrictions on constitutional rights to only serious convictions and adjudications that provide procedural protections to the accused, which results in more reliable proceedings. The Right to Keep and Bear Arms should not be treated as a second-class right and should only be restricted when sufficient protections are in place.

Why is the NRA coming to New Hampshire “residents”? Why don’t they go to their singularly endorsed POTUS and tell him to do his job, as prescribed by our US Constitution to see that the law is faithfully executed? And according to his continued promises to do so. The latest of those many, include his controversial rally in Tulsa only several days ago. His mere words about suppressors “I don’t like em” managed to derail years of legislative efforts to deregulate hearing protection for shooters. The least this one and only ever NRA endorsed president could do is tell the… Read more »
Trump needs to step up!!!
Not counting on it.
If this bill should pass it will be another nail in the coffin of common sense.
Rare sense, I do believe you mean.
Communists.
My next-door neighbors to the east have there star of pearl clutching civilian disarmament proponents as well,I would they do whatever is necessary to prevent any form of red flag law from taking root.
“This bill establishes a procedure for issuing extreme risk protection orders to protect against
persons who pose an immediate risk of harm to themselves or others.”
In other words, a red flag law. Reading through it, they will even take away starter pistols from those who fall under this bill.
Live free or not.
