U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- Yesterday, the New Hampshire House held floor votes on two anti-gun bills. Thanks to the strong support of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, both bills were defeated and will not move forward this session. NRA would like to thank all of those Representatives who defended the Second Amendment for law-abiding citizens in the Granite State.
House Bill 1096 would have imposed bans on the open carry of firearms within 100 feet of a polling place. These arbitrary bans are simply anti-gun virtue-signaling that only affect law-abiding citizens, dictating how they must exercise a constitutional right while doing nothing to improve public safety.
House Bill 1668 would have required background checks for the commercial sale of firearms, already mandated under federal law. This duplicative and unnecessary legislation is simply a first attempt to enact so-called “universal background checks” for the purchase of firearms in New Hampshire. The bill would do nothing to improve public safety and its effectiveness would depend on requiring gun registration.
Again, thank you to NRA Members and Second Amendment supporters who contacted their State Representatives in strong opposition to these two anti-gun bills.

IF ONLY; the NRA did not work with the ANTI-CONSTITUTIONAL GUN CONTROL GROUPS to pass the HEINOUS ANTI-Second Amendment laws that are now enforced as “laws”.
Time for the “directors” of MY NRA stop taking and pocketing the funding and apply that money to FIGHTING the CONSTITUTIONAL HATING DemoKKKrat communist who want to STRIP Legal Law Abiding Americans of their RESTATED, REAFFIRMED, CONFIRMED CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!!!!!!
In spite of the fact that NH is one of the most gun friendly states in the country, a lot of these anti-gun bills keep showing up year after year. We have to defeat them over and over again, while they would only have to win once.
