From the Women's Defense League of New Hampshire: These are all the gun control bills NH Democrats pushed (some passed but were vetoed by Governor Sununu) when they had power back in 2018. Is THIS what you want??? If you care about your fundamental human right to self-defense like we do, you'll VOTE SMART NH. HB 101 🏫🔫: Allows school districts to make gun control laws, going against state law and creating different rules across the state. HB 564 🎓🚫: Bans law-abiding citizens from carrying concealed firearms in a “safe school zone,” further enabling criminals to prey on children. HB 687 🧯🔫: Establishes “extreme risk protection orders,” using the guise of “protection” while functioning as gun confiscation. HB 514 ⏳🔫: Imposes a waiting period between purchase and delivery/pickup of a firearm or ammunition, making women less safe and limiting self-defense. HB 109 🛒🧾: Requires background checks for private firearms sales and transfers and creates a “register of each sale” (a gun registry). HB 696 📄🔫: Creates “vulnerable adult protective orders” and uses the word “firearm” repeatedly while offering no real aid or comfort to vulnerable adults. HB 1115 🏙️🔫: Reduces the area where shooting is allowed near non-residential/commercial buildings and gives cities and towns ability to create more areas where firearms use is prohibited. HB 1143 ⚖️🔫: Repeals limited liability for firearms manufacturers, distributors, dealers, or importers, allowing lawsuits against firearms industry actors. Blaming manufacturers for the actions of criminals. HB 1285 🏫🔫: Repeats/expands “gun free zone” restrictions on school property, criminalizing pistol/revolver license holders who are currently allowed under federal law to carry concealed on school grounds. HB 1349 👶🔫: Creates a committee to study firearms incidents involving children with access to unsecured firearms, pushing gun control propaganda and solutions to a problem that doesn’t exist in NH. HB 1350 🔒🔫: Requires a locking safety device be provided for commercial firearm sales and transfers, raising costs and increasing firearm prices. (locking devices are already provided) HB 1374 🔁🔫: Repeals a state law that prohibits state agencies from operating a “voluntary surrender and destroy” firearms program. HB 1608 🎯🔫: Prohibits the manufacture, sale, transfer, and possession of large capacity ammunition feeding devices, criminalizing law-abiding citizens. House Bill 564 (again) 🎓🚫: Bans law-abiding citizens from carrying concealed firearms in a “safe school zone,” despite current permission for licensed carry on school grounds.

.@repchrispappas looked at all of the stolen taxpayer dollars funneled to Somali daycare fraud in Minnesota and said "we need more of that ... this time in New Hampshire!"
Child care remains one of the most pressing issues that families are facing. We’ve got to tackle it head-on. My Rural Child Care Access Act would bring child care providers serving small and rural communities federal resources to invest in their facilities, services, and staff. newhampshirebulletin.com/202…

Oof. @dunlap4congress has focused a massive part of his campaign on a job he served only SIX MONTHS in 15 YEARS AGO. Sad stuff.

NH is home to over 9,000 firearms-related jobs, providing nearly $3 BILLION in economic impact. Only one gubernatorial candidate in New Hampshire supports these jobs and your right to keep and bear arms: @KellyAyotte. Vote accordingly.
Great to be back at @sigsauerinc HQ today! Proud to have fantastic manufacturers like Sig creating good-paying jobs for Granite Staters.

NRA’s @JustinDavisNRA makes excellent points to @FoxNews about the discrepancies in the anti-gun argument that the Second Amendment only protects muskets. Firearm technology has advanced since 1776, as the Founding Fathers knew it would, but so has the way speech reaches the masses; television, social media, and blogs are all protected under the First Amendment.

I’ve worked from day one to protect our New Hampshire Advantage. I'll continue to hold the line against an income tax, a sales tax, and any tax increase on Granite Staters.

Where did you film this? Isn't this firearm banned (under bad laws *that you supported*) in the People's Republic of Massachusetts?
As a Marine and dad, I’m voting Yes on 9 to keep assault weapons off our streets.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
It is federally illegal per 18usc922 to have a firearm, including a stripped lower, from being shipped to your house. What he has shown, is already a federal felony and has been for nearly 60 years. law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18…
