MORIN: GUN CONTROL ALERT – RED FLAG HEARING

Gun control hearings are planned for Wednesday, January 14th in the NH House. One of the most critical gun control hearings will be the Red Flag bill.

On Wednesday, January 14th at 2:00 PM, the hearing is planned in the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee for Michael Bloomberg’s Red Flag bill, aka ‘Extreme Risk Protection Orders’ (House Bill 1642).

This legislation is some of the most draconian gun control legislation to ever be presented in the NH Legislature. Bloomberg’s organization has already spent over $1 MILLION to push NYC-style gun control in one of the safest states in the country that was named THE safest state in the country in 2025.

Red Flag laws violate our 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights that are supposed to be protected by our legislators. Even New York’s Red Flag law was struck down by their Supreme Court. Yet gun controllers continue to push the very same laws in the Granite State.

They claim these laws are about safety, but they literally have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with gun confiscation. They are discriminatory laws that are only applied to law-abiding gun owners. They are laws that allow ‘thought police’ to make assumptions about what a person might do, sometime in the future.

You can find more detailed information and research about Red Flag laws here: www.stopredflaglawsnh.org.

What can you do? Show up to the hearing. Bloomberg’s out-of-state funded organization already sends people from various states in New England. Arrive earlier than the 2:00 pm timeline as the other hearings may finish sooner to be sure to get a seat.

You can also email and/or call the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee Members to show your opposition to the legislation:
