If you were not sure whether Manchester mayor Joyce Craig was a typical, rubber-stamp Democrat without an original policy idea in her head, this should help clear things up. After the Lewiston, Maine shooting, she did what every Democrat does. She announced a comprehensive plan to reduce gun violence …
… filled with things that have never reduced gun violence.
Like Maine, New Hampshire has some of the weakest gun laws in the entire country, making it easier for dangerous individuals to acquire guns and cause harm to our communities. Common sense gun safety legislation such as universal background checks, requiring permits to carry a concealed gun, and extreme risk protection orders are necessary steps to prevent gun violence and limit the potential for a devastating mass shooting in our state.
Is there a web page for Dems with templates where you write in your name and ta-da? Or maybe Mayor Joyce is plagiarizing because not one single thing she suggests – the entire list is below – is original, nor will do any of the things she claims—quite the opposite.
We Need More Armed Citizens
Earlier today, I shared some thoughts about the shooting in Lewiston that relate to Frau Craig’s incremental tyranny. “The shooter knew where to find people who the state of Maine had disarmed. Call me a Second Amendment purist, but the most common factors in every mass shooting are the absence of equal or greater force and the ability of the allegedly mentally insane to know this.”
These people are crazy enough to know where the gun-free zones are.
Nothing Crazy-Legs Craig suggests can be proven to reduce shootings or any violence of any sort. There’s no there-there, but she also left out some critical truths related to New Hampshire’s weak gun laws. The Granite State is consistently one of the safest in the nation. Low crime, low violent crime, low murder rates, and, as I pointed out here, other factors matter, which Democrats are guaranteed to screw up given the opportunity.
Gun restrictions can’t prevent homelessness, indiginacy, fentanyl, and human trafficking, or an impossible swell of illegal aliens who have no connection to the culture or language. Progressive states can’t even teach American kids to read English. Their welfare systems see more people slip through the cracks into poverty. Unemployment programs support listlessness. High minimum wages prevent skills acquisition by the untrained. It is a system designed to fail where people find the only way to get a hand up is to lift a hand (knife, bat, or gun) and take something from someone else.
Disarming the law-abiding citizens who might otherwise try to help people outside the failed system is going to produce victims by encouraging criminality.
The very existence of Joyce Craig and the Democrat party will lead to far more violent crime and shooting deaths than New Hampshire’s lack of a license requirement to carry a concealed firearm. Remember, the Lewiston shooter knew where to go to increase the odds he would have the greatest force advantage.

Gun grabbers like Joyce Craig make that possible.
Craig’s plan would result in more soft targets (Prohibit Guns in K-12 Schools), leave women unprotected (Implement Three-Day Waiting Period for Gun Purchases), deny law-abiding citizens due process rights (Pass an Extreme Risk Protection Order Law), and a host of other useless Left-Wing gun grabbing that, when implemented elsewhere, has resulted in loss of rights and rising crime—property crime, assault, rape, robbery, manslaughter, and murder.
Joyce Craig is dangerous to the public safety of New Hampshire’s citizens, who need a protective order from her policies so New Hampshire can continue to be one of the safest states in the nation.
Don’t believe me? Compare what she wants to what Democrats are doing in Vermont. It went from one of the safest states to nearly tripling its annual homicide rate almost overnight. That is Joyce Craig’s promise to New Hampshire.
Here’s Craig’s plan.
