New Hampshire , Welcome To The Nanny State 3 : Gun Control
Update: Since I first posted this, the gun control bill was defeated 5-0. This does not mean the issue will go away though. The way liberals work, they will keep proposing this while trying to change public opinion until they finally succeed. We must vote these people out of office before it’s too late!
I hope you New Hampshire Democrats are happy. We are going to get hit with so many taxes and laws you will think we are in Mass. A little hint to you ex Mass. and ex Vermont residents, when you migrate here you can’t vote for the same type of candidates you voted for in your old states. That’s why you left there in the first place. You wanted change, now you have to change the way you vote.
Now we have gun control legislation being debated, we are going to lose our independent way of living if you people don’t change your ways when you move to this state.

N.H. Lawmakers To Debate New Bill To Tighten Gun Permits
CONCORD, N.H. — A new plan proposed to tighten restrictions on all state gun permits drew fierce opposition from gun owners on Thursday.
Angry gun owners packed a Senate hearing room to register disapproval in the proposed gun permit crackdown.
“It’s fixing a problem we don’t have,” said one gun owner.
“If anyone thinks a terrorist will be dissuaded by a law it’s wrong,” said another gun owner.
They’re talking about a bill offered by state Sen. Peter Burling, D-Cornish, who said the current state police background check for gun licenses doesn’t protect residents from gang members and terrorists.
“If someone walked in and said, ‘I’m from al-Queda, and I’d like a permit,’ there is no legal way to deny a permit absent a felony,” said Burling.
Burling offered a bill to empower selectmen and local police to deny gun permits if they reasonably believe that a person is a terrorist or a member of a criminal group.
Burling said he offered the bill after a young person in Lebanon applied for and received a gun permit, even after admitting to being part of a criminal gang and having been arrested several times, though never convicted.
But critics said the bill offered no definition of a terrorist and gives local officials too much power over who gets gun permits.
“It’s a solution in search of a problem,” said Alan Rice of the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition. “There’s no evidence that terrorists and criminals can obtain use of firearms in the state of New Hampshire.”
Lawmakers agreed with gun owners, voting 5-0 to recommend killing the bill.
Burling offered an amendment to fashion the law after Vermont, which lists who is not allowed to get a gun permit.
That was also rejected.
A full Senate vote is expected next week.

Gun History
Whether you agree with gun ownership or not, it’s an interesting lesson in history. Something to think about…
In 1929, the Soviet Union established gun control. From 1929 to 1953, about 20 million dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
In 1911, Turkey established gun control. From 1915 to 1917, 1.5 million Armenians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Germany established gun control in 1938 and from 1939 to 1945, a total of 13 million Jews and others who were unable to defend themselves were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
China established gun control in 1935. From 1948 to 1952, 20 million political dissidents, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Guatemala established gun control in 1964. From 1964 to 1981, 100,000 Mayan Indians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.
——————————
Uganda established gun control in 1970. From 1971 to 1979, 300,000 Christians, unable to defend themselves, were rounded up and exterminated.

It has now been 12 months since gun owners in Australia were forced by new law to surrender 640,381 personal firearms to be destroyed by their own government, a program costing Australia taxpayers more than $500 million dollars. The first year results are now in:
Australia-wide, homicides are up 3.2 percent
Australia-wide, assaults are up 8.6 percent
Australia-wide, armed robberies are up 44 percent (yes, 44 percent)!
In the state of Victoria alone, homicides with firearms are now up 300 percent. Note that while the law-abiding citizens turned them in, the criminals did not, and criminals still possess their guns!
While figures over the previous 25 years showed a steady decrease in armed robbery with firearms, this has changed drastically upward in the past 12 months, since criminals now are guaranteed that their prey is unarmed.
There has also been a dramatic increase in break-ins and assaults of the ELDERLY. Australian politicians are at a loss to explain how public safety has decreased, after such monumental effort and expense was expended in successfully ridding Australian society of guns. The Australian experience and the other historical facts above prove it.
You won’t see this data on the American evening news or hear our president, governors or other politicians disseminating this information. Guns in the hands of honest citizens save lives and property and, yes, gun-control laws affect only the law-abiding citizens.
