I attneded the first scheduled hearings which was a bit disoraganzid. I plan on attening as many as I can . I don't want what happened in Virgina to happen in New Hampshire. If we attend in numbers and not just a few of us it will at the least let these fools know we are watching and DO NOT agree with these ridiculous proposed bills.

I wonder how the Dems plan to reconcile this with the whole "reform the police" business. This proposed law basically turns the (supposedly inherently biased) opinions of everyday people into potentially violent law enforcement action. Seems that's a step in the "old" direction.
Oh wait... they don't plan to reconcile anything. Making sense isn't a goal.
This subject actually came up during the hearing and exec session and the dems just pretended no one said anything about it
Despite the protestations/hand wringing of dems....this bill has nothing to do with preventing suicide, murder. etc in a state that had 265 suicides and ~12 murders with firearms in 2017 iirc
This bill is all about giving dems one more tool to punish their political opponents with
Dont feed the troll
We need to focus on solutions not unrelated/irrelevent nonsense
Its time for a "Red Pen" campaign.....I heard Sununu is running low on Red Pens again.....and could use a reminder that his entire caucus and a number of dems/libertarians voted AGAINST this bill and the optics him going against his own caucus and allowing this to become law wouldnt be pretty
Sounds like the "reform the police" hook is one that perhaps might help our Governor pull out the red pen, then.This subject actually came up during the hearing and exec session and the dems just pretended no one said anything about it

AFTER you send Sununu a red pen and urge him to veto HB687 and HB1660
Seems unreasonable that family/household requires some direct knowledge of the respondent, but Intimate partner is pretty much open-ended, and LEO can be any officer anywhere in the state?HB687 said:II. “Family or household member” means:
(a) A spouse, ex-spouse, person cohabiting with another person, and a person who cohabited with another person in the preceding 24 months but who no longer shares the same residence.
(b) A parent or other person related by consanguinity or affinity, other than a minor child who resides with the respondent.
. . .
IV. “Intimate partner” means a person who is currently or who, in the preceding 24 months, has been involved in a romantic relationship with another, whether or not such relationship was ever sexually consummated.
V. “Law enforcement officer” means a sheriff or deputy sheriff of any county, a state police officer, a constable or police officer of any city or town, or a conservation officer.
VI. “Petitioner” means a law enforcement officer, family or household member, or intimate partner of the respondent who files a petition for an extreme risk protection order under this chapter.
Heads up: HB1660 was enrolled today and is on the way to the Governor's desk. Needs to be signed by Senate President and Speaker of the House, but we should expect 'Eldercare Gun Confiscation' to be on the Governor's desk very soon. Call him. 603-271-2121 and ask for a veto
