CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — Democrats pushed through a ban on carrying guns and other deadly weapons on New Hampshire’s House floor and in its ante-room and gallery on Wednesday — reversing course from two years ago when Republicans controlled the chamber. The ban, approved 196-153, ends at the doors to the chamber, which mean lawmakers and the public can carry weapons elsewhere in the Statehouse complex. As many as 10 other states allow the public to carry guns into their Statehouses, generally upon certain conditions such as obtaining a license, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Republicans lifted a ban on weapons in the Statehouse complex two years ago that is not likely to be overturned. Republicans control the Senate and it would take an agreement by both chambers to reinstate the ban. Senate President Peter Bragdon, R-Milford, said Wednesday he has not changed his opposition to a ban and would block its reinstatement. http://boston.cbslocal.com/2013/01/02/nh-house-bans-guns-in-chamber-gallery/
That will DEFINITELY stop the next spree killer, because criminals and psychotics ALWAYS obey the law. This kind of stupidity should be a felony.
Now a potential pyscho knows where there will be NO armed law biding citizens. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I'm shocked that your neighbors to the west (Vermont) still have the most lax gun control laws in the country, but then again, the populace is probably too stoned to give a shit, either way. Using liberal logic, Vermont should have the most firearms-involved homicides in the nation, but I believe they had 4 in 2012.
Law-abiding citizens will simply stay away from the floor of the state house, making the politicians defenseless sheep. While it would be tragic if a psycho opened fire on the floor of the state house, it would also be humorously ironic.
I've always said VT is one bad incident away from going full retard. You are right though, using the Brady Campaign's grading system VT should be flowing red with innocents blood. I hope they maintain their laws like they are.
Thats funny. Hmm. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/mobil...r-new-hampshire-legislator-gun_n_1367695.html
What did I tell you about VT? http://www.nraila.org/legislation/s...un-and-magazine-ban-proposal-next-monday.aspx It will more than likely go no where, but the fact that there is that amount of ignorance to even consider something like that is mind numbing.
It never ends and we all have to pay attention and keep up the fight. However I think fighting at the ballot box ended last November. The "Free Shit Army" is too large and now out number us...
Not really....apathy is now our enemy. If even half the registered Republicans who didn't vote in November showed up and voted their party, Romney would have won in a landslide.
