NH House Advances Waiting Period to Purchase Firearms

The gun-grabbers in the New Hampshire legislature have advanced a compromise bill. That’s what they’d call it. It forces a three-day waiting period on the purchase of firearms by law-abiding citizens. Felons, who don’t have to wait were pushing for the seven-day waiting period.

HB1101 is an act imposing a waiting period between the purchase and delivery of a firearm. Last year’s vetoed version would give felons the preferred 7-day advantage. This compromise bill reduces the waiting period to three, with a few exceptions.

Instead of a seven-day waiting period, it would create a three-day waiting period. And it adds in a waiver for those who are in fear for their lives due to domestic violence.

Supporters said their main goal is to reduce suicide at a time when the suicide rate in New Hampshire is increasing faster than the rest of the country.

That’s not the main goal. Democrats think the planet is overpopulated. Suicides are a gift to Gaia. No, they are more interested in incremental gun-grabbing. 

Plenty of places of waiting periods. They also have higher rates of crime than New Hampshire.

Make sure to let Governor Sununu know, this is not a compromise. Please veto HB1101.
