I call so often I'm starting to get "Oh hello Mr J, how are you today?" I might be checking the same box but it's a big black check mark. Polite messages that I've supported generations of Sununu's who support gun rights ;-)

I ran into John Burt at the fireworks store today and we got to talking about these 4 bills. He said he personally spoke with gov. Sununu and said gov was going to veto all 4. Let's hope he is right. Still calling Sununu's office anyway but it sounds like good news.
I want to run for rep. In fact I've posted repeatedly that I would once I satisfy the 2 years residency requirement. The problem I'm running into as I look into the details, is finding a job that will allow the paid time off I would need to serve with the dedication the position deserves. Point me to that and I will have past the last hertle.IF you want to run for state rep, or know someone who does, please have them contact me!!! We need 400 good pro-2a reps. I have already started looking to find all of them.
Just had a conversation with my rep at our FD Pancake Breakfast. He assured me that Sununununu is going to veto everything and plans to shatter the current record for vetos. He did say to keep calling and asking for vetos as a means of showing support, so keep it up.
He also told me that the Dems were told from the start of this session to throw everything at the wall and go full retard, and that some of his Dem colleagues are concerned that the voter backlash next year is going to be harsh. I found great comfort in that.

Don't take this to mean I support a paid legislature. Coming from MA I see what a disaster professional politicians can be.
But this real-world limit inherently limits those who can run and serve to owners of successful businesses, the independently wealth, retirees, those who live on some kind of assistance, and generally speaking those who do not have to earn a living.
My positions are simple.
No new laws that don't clearly solve a problem.
No new taxes, the gov must live within what it has, just as the people do.
Support individual liberty and responsibility.
I would rather be know for introducing/supporting a single Bill that countless useless Bills.
ETA: If it's not broke don't fix it.
I appreciate the discussion and detail here but struggle with the hyperbole used in email campaigns - it seems every new gun law proposal is registration, confiscation, incarceration. Taken to an extreme they all are but it's hard to sort the magnitude and extent when everything pegs the meter. Not that I would accept the bills or *not* call & write if less than total annihilation of the 2ndA. If every email is TEOTWAWKI people stop reading and listening.
But I'm not an expert in social media and email campaigns, so let' just call it my personal preference.

It's all done with an end game in mind ... Give up nothing or give up everything.
Not an effing inch
I'm not saying these current bills don't rate a 7 or 8, but maybe we should hold some of our ammo for when the 9s & 10s come down the pipe?So, how do these differences get reconciled? Is it react STRONGLY to EVERY EMAIL, because it is all or nothing? Or is it to weed them out, and accept certain things?
I agree with the general "everything pegs the meter" sentiment -- with the NRA-style hyperbole where every "call to action" is phrased as if every bill is the end of the world, the recipients inevitably suffer from motivational fatigue.I appreciate the discussion and detail here but struggle with the hyperbole used in email campaigns - it seems every new gun law proposal is registration, confiscation, incarceration.

I havent heard ANYONE suggest that a waiting period bill is a registration bill
Is this reading of the bill 100% wrong? No...HB514 said:159-E:1
. . .
II. A licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, licensed dealer, or licensed collector shall make available records of firearm and ammunition sales for inspection by any state, county, or municipal law enforcement agency, during normal business hours.
The dealer SHALL make available records of firearms sales....
NHFC may or may not still feel this way about HB514 after amendments, but Granite Grok's Rick Olson definitely still does, he made the same claim about the waiting period bill just yesterday, Sure, JPK takes GG with a bucket of salt on RKBA issues, but Rick isn't nobody.Kevin,

As JPK said, the UBC bill was clearly a way to build a list of gun owners, the waiting period as drafted required the list to be created by the dealer and kept for inspection.
So, how do these differences get reconciled? Is it react STRONGLY to EVERY EMAIL, because it is all or nothing? Or is it to weed them out, and accept certain things?

Nobody is saying to accept these bad bills, but maybe dial back the hyperbole? For example, I see a lot of messages calling out the "waiting period" bill as being a gun registration bill. This is disingenuous, and makes me not trust the messenger.

They've used up all the adjectives already, don't appear to have kept any in reserve for bigger threats in the future.
That's a direct quote:: NH Voters: Dr. Levenson for Congeress 2nd District.(beware)Please dont put words in my mouth or presume to know what my opinion on GG broadly or individual authors that contribute to GG may be.
I frequently quote GG and a number of contributors to GG and hold a great many of their contributors and the work they do in high regard
I take GG with a bucket of salt on RKBA issues after all of the shenanigans/infighting/hypocritical reporting/bashing of bills in last year.
I think Rick is right on target......
All of these bills are terribly written.....usually intentionally and loaded with ambiguous back doors and language that can be used by corrupt individuals within law enforcement and activist judges to ruin people's lives, the lives and reputations of them/their families and destroy their ability to hold jobs as a result
These people are trying to weaponize the legal code so they can use it against their political opponents and enemies.....if you doubt that then take a closer look at what went on in the 2016 elections and is still going on today
If you think for a single second that Altschiller, Rogers, Shurtleff and others dont hate your guts and wish you were dead then you're not paying attention to what these people are doing right in front of your face in plain sight and daring you to do something about it
