There are TWO gun bills scheduled for 3/26 Tues....the 696 Red Flag bill and 564 Gun Free School bill.....we need folks to turn out for these hearings......
I would expect the Gov to keep quiet either way. There is zero advantage to saying something in advance.So, the House passed the UBR and Waiting period bills yesterday
These two will move to the Senate and we will have another bite at the apple at senate hearings on these bills
Time to ramp up letters/calls to Gov Sununu.....who's so far been totally silent.......
More details from NHFC soon, but here is a quick graphic of status of the Anti-gun bills at the 1/2 way point in the legislative progress.
For a state house that bans soda straws and plastic shopping bags, we have stopped or killed 50% of the anti-gun bills.
We need everyone on board for the 3/26 hearings.
We are still at webpage and postal mail. We could use some additional help and volunteers who are willing to help in social media.I'd love to help out. What is your Twitter and Instagram address? Gotta get this info out to the young people; they are the future. Might as well give Facebook also, but I don't do that one, though I'm sure someone else will.

Or he's stopping them from using his position as a rallying cry to raise an opposition force.I wholly disagree.....
The Gov had an opportunity yesterday to make a public statement not only about firearms but about the big gov bills that the house is trying to pass.......from straw bans to 11 day waiting periods........to tax/fee increases.....
He had a chance to point out that dems in NH are trying to do the same things that have been tried AND FAILED in other states like cali........
Instead he's so far chosen to remain silent......and by doing so he leaves people wondering if he really supports the people that voted for him and whats important to them.......or if he's just another politician sticking his finger in the air to determine which way the wind is blowing.
People are tired of sending unprincipaled politicians to washington dc......and we all know that Sununu has aspirations for federal office........
The longer Sununu waits to wade into what the house is doing, the more doubts the base has in how principled he is/is not......
If you look at primary numbers for the last 15 or so years its clear that candidates that cant/dont carry the base, fare badly against the dems.........because the base doesnt turn out for them.
I think we disagree on the use of tactics and hiding your strength from the enemy v. Making feel good statements.If he allows it to be signed into law he'll be ignored
Anything he does against the bill will become propaganda for the left........now.....he's got a choice of on boarding and rallying the base to him and establishing a pattern of trust.....or he can wait until the last minute and leave everyone hanging and forever wondering what he'll do if ever elected to office in DC where the power of the swamp is huuuuge.......
The left is going to attack him no matter what he does.......this is an opportunity for him to rally support and fundraise.....and it appears he's squandering it
I think we disagree on the use of tactics and hiding your strength from the enemy v. Making feel good statements.
Do you really think people are going to say they aren't donating after he vetos because " he didn't come out against early enough" no they will say he vetoed so here's my money.
Start Hitting up your state Senators. Use this link to find yours if you don't know already.

Remember it's people sitting back thinking all is well after his election that got us a demo controlled legislature.
If he allows it to be signed into law he'll be ignored

Do we know that our target audience uses FB/Twitter/... ?
I'm still thinking radio, cuz cheap reach (and probably reaches target), but cheap <> free.
Very serious. I'm frankly dubious on the effectiveness.Not sure if serious...
twitter+instagram+audience+"new+hampshire" - Google Search
Basically, anyone under 45 years old, plus many over as well. Anyone with a smart phone.
By the way, it costs NOTHING!
How? Again, posting something nobody'll see isn't necessarily a good use of one's time.1800 ain't much. Figure on maybe 550 people actually opening the message, and maybe 120 even caring.
I'm talking about an ENTIRELY DIFFERENT SCALE here. Get you message out to hundred of thousands of NH residents.
Gun owners will continue to be our own worst enemies, with apathy and anti-gun brainwashing being the biggest issues. Mentioned the two NH House bills to my landlord. He owns firearms, but he said he doesn't waste time with politics anymore. He doesn't want the stress, and feels that as far as contacting legislators that it's a waste of time - that their minds can't be changed. As for the younger gun owners, none of them get that UBC's are just a registration, which always leads to confiscation eventually, and they just don't see why they are so bad. Most all of the other gun owners I speak with keep saying the same thing. "Can't change their minds, why bother, why vote, etc." and then bitch afterwards.
... and here is one on OUR SIDE (with the power of many many thousands, many of whom would repost):
JFC, I'm not saying give up. Quite the contrary. I'm saying there's a LOT of hard work that needs to be done, to keep New Hampshire from becoming Connecticut or Massachusetts. And, cuz we don't have a Free Shit Army we can employ, it won't be free. Probably won't be cheap.OK, give up then and quit your whining. I'm done here.
Exactly, but there's a whole swath of people who aren't in our communications circle, who may be (generally) like-minded and who may not know what's happening and what's at stake.This is how we get people to turn out to hearings, write letters/emails/phone calls and tell THEIR friends.......
