Today was the first hearing on HB246. This is almost a carbon copy of HB1660. Still all of the same issues as the prior version.

From NHFC before the hearing:

Dear Member,

House Democrat Leader Renny Cushing reintroduced the Red Flag Gun Confiscation Bill in the New Hampshire House!
Tomorrow, January 26, the Health, Human Services, and Elderly Affairs Committee will hear testimony on this bill remotely. Contact the Committee TODAY and put the kibosh on this dangerous legislation, again!
House Bill 246, if enacted, will violate many of your constitutional rights - including your due process, your innocence until proven guilty, your second amendment rights, and your right to confront your accuser! In fact, it would allow police to show up at your house, unannounced, to confiscate your firearms! This is a dangerous situation for you and the police! Check out our short Fact Sheet on Gun Confiscation Legislation and you will see how dangerous this bill is to our Second Amendment rights and our personal liberties!
Americans are intentionally not being told of the serious constitutional and practical problems with Red Flag laws. Please spread the word to everyone you know before it's too late.
You can attend this remote hearing without driving to Concord! The Committee will hear this bill at 1:45 pm on Tuesday via Zoom. Please note that the public will NOT be allowed to attend in person.
We need you to testify tomorrow at 1:45 pm in opposition to this bill remotely! Click here to join the committee hearing. To register to testify, see the instructions below.
Please make every effort to 'attend' this hearing.
In 2019 and 2020 similar legislation was passed by the House and Senate but thankfully received much-needed vetoes by Governor Sununu.
We can NOT allow this bill to reach his desk again!
The bottom line is this type of legislation allows people with a personal grievance to use the Government to take your firearms without due process. It must be stopped!
We need you to make calls and emails in opposition!

First: Call the committee at 603-271-3589 and leave a polite message with the committee secretary for all of the committee members about your opposition to this bill.
Second: Call your own Representative (their info can be found here) and leave a message about your opposition to this bill. http://www.gencourt.state.nh.us/house/members/default.aspx
Third: Send in an email to the committee that this bill needs to be killed. Email [email protected] and put the bill number (HB-246) in the subject line of the email and ask them to Kill this bill.
Fourth: Testify at the Committee meeting. Go to this link and navigate to Tuesday, January 26. Select House Health Human Services Committee. Then click HB246. Sign in OPPOSITION to this bill and choose whether you'd like to testify or not!
