Deputy Dawg Shurtleff proposes bill to ban ‘bump stock’ devices in NH

deputy-dawgSteve Deputy Dawg Shurtleff isn’t wasting time grabbing some press or political opportunism from a recent tragedy.

New Hampshire House Democratic Leader Steve Shurtleff said Friday it is time for “bump stock” multi-trigger activators to be outlawed in the Granite State.

Shurtleff, a Vietnam veteran who is now in his seventh term in the House, said he will try to introduce a bill for the 2018 legislative session to ban use of the device, which was used by the shooter, Stephen Paddock, in last Sunday’s mass shooting in Las Vegas.

I wonder who the “Republican” co-sponsors will be?
