Sparsely attended indeed for a day where the “kick the Second Amendment lovers” folks decided to have a “National Day to Demand Action”.  WMUR decided to cover it, with a quick spot at 5pm by reporter, Jennifer Gannon, sweeping her hand towards the middle of the Portsmouth’s Market Square announcing the soon-to-start rally – showing …

NH Ranked in Top 5 in Overall Freedom, That’s Good Right? Well…

New Hampshire is doing pretty well as we start 2013.  First it was revealed that, “NH Ranked 10th Best State for Gun Owners by Guns & Ammo Magazine”.  That’s good news.  Especially when one considers we might need it with all of the leftists that can no longer afford to live in the surrounding states …
