Governor Sununu signed legislation last week that allows law-abiding gun owners to carry a handgun on a snowmobile or OHRV just like they do in their cars and trucks and concealed on their person nearly everywhere else in the state. Democrats, as usual, crapped the same old anti-gun kittens.
House Democratic Leader Rep. David E. Cote, D-Nashua, said: “For years, Republicans have refused any common-sense legislation to reduce the risk of preventable tragedy with firearms.
“Instead, they pass unnecessary laws to invite the potential for needless firearm accidents in our state.” …
“And this legislation makes recreation more dangerous and less appealing to travelers. I find it inexplicable that while Granite Staters across New Hampshire have been taking to the streets to demand gun violence prevention, Governor Sununu continues to enact bills threatening our public safety,” Cote said.
Democrats, Common-sense, violence prevention? None of these words even go together.
Thousands of soft targets across America, resulting in the needless loss of young life as children are gunned down by criminals, are a byproduct of the Democrat’s common-sense gun violence prevention. Gun Free zones account for a super-majority of these attacks. The Left’s common-sense response is to ensure only the shooter – who doesn’t care about the law – is armed.
Chicago, the Left’s common-sense gun law Mecca, likely has (just about?) every “law” House Democrat Leader David Eeeee a Gun! Cote would like. A total of 1472 people have been shot in the first five months of 2022 in the Windy City – and 276 of those have died.
In 2020 common-sense violence-prevention-Chicago had 350 homicides while gun-crazy Constitutional Carry New Hampshire had 12.
So, the Left’s common-sense gun laws only make sense to criminals (and Democrats if and where they are different) who, for the record, didn’t care about the law prohibiting firearms on snowmobiles and OHRVs before the passage of HB1636.
They were already ignoring it.
But to Democrat David Eeeee a gun! Cote, allowing law-abiding citizens the same privilege will lead to tragedy and threatens public safety.
At least he didn’t say there would be blood in the streets.
