The gun bills rejected by the council were proposals meant to improve school safety and create penalties for unsafe gun storage. Another bill that would prohibit guns at daycare centers and other child care facilities was tabled for reconsideration in November. A bill that would have banned the distribution of assault weapons without proper authority was defeated on a 4-6 vote while another that would have required all gun owners to buy liability insurance for their weapons was defeated unanimously.

Other bills that were rejected sought to redefine machine guns and ban assault-style weapons outright. Also rejected was a Republican proposal that would allow retired law enforcement officers who are cleared by the federal government to carry concealed firearms on school grounds....The council, which comprises the minority and majority leadership in both House and Senate, as well as the speaker of the House and the Senate president, includes six Democrats and four Republicans

Hmmm...they seemed to agree that a Democrat-sponsored bill banning guns at daycare and childcare facilities was not a useful but also rejected a bill allowing retired LEOs from carrying on school grounds after vetting by Feds. Maine Democrats seems to recognize what Common Sense Gun Laws might and might not be, even if under pressure to block GOP bills. If NH Democrats were that “good” we’d have fewer BS bills.
 
Finally we see some sanity and reason from a legislative body! Let's hope it's a new trend..... [thumbsup]
