The following is a statement from NH State House Representative Deborah Stevens, from Nashua in June 2019:

Should We Virtue Signal With Guns?
by Rick Olson
Nine days ago, I wrote about Wal-Mart and Corporate Virtue Signaling. CEO Doug McMillon talked about kissing up to the anti-gun left. More corporate virtue signaling followed thereafter. As expected, a few of my fellow pro-gun virtue signalers responded with comments about “signs.” #SoStuckOnSigns
Connecticut Anti-Gun Activist Threatens State Senator and NRA Members – “If I had a Gun…”
In keeping with the trend of left-wing shooters gunning down innocent people, “An anti-gun activist was removed from a gun hearing in Connecticut Monday after sending an iMessage threatening to shoot a legislator and NRA members.” If you missed Rep. Judy Aron’s remarks from the rally this weekend check them out. She’s a refugee from … Read more
Civilian Disarmament bills – The Groksters respond
by Skip
And respond with guns blazing (heh!). This past Wednesday the Education Committee heard testimony from LOTS of people on: HB101 having to do “This bill allows a school district, school administrative unit, or chartered public school to adopt and enforce a policy regulating firearms, firearms components, ammunition, firearms supplies, or knives within its jurisdiction” HB564 … Read more
NH House Education Committee – HB101 & HB564: The NHSBA just made everyone’s jaws drop to the floor (THUD!)
by Skip
As I said earlier, GraniteGrok and our cameras were in Concord (NH) at the State Legislative Office Building to cover two sets of hearings having to do with bills being heard that would impact gun rights. Two have been given to the NH House Education Committee: HB101 having to do “This bill allows a school … Read more
It’s Time to Call BS on Anti-gun Propagandists
by Op-Ed
by Jim Kofalt Every week when I’m in church, I pick up the latest issue of Our Sunday Visitor (OSV), a weekly Catholic newspaper. I like to flip through it and see what the left-leaning editors are peddling this week. Much of what OSV prints is non-political, but they always seem to sprinkle in a … Read more
Oh Wait! Wasn’t that all supposed to make it go down??
by Skip
The Democrats want complete civilian disarmament such that only The State has the ability to utilize Force. So they pass law after law to make that happen because SAFETY AND SECURITY! Which of course, the rest of us know will never happen. Of course, these Safety folks have no regard for the flip side: Rights and Freedom. Which, I point out, they don’t care about. And yet, this happens (reformmated and emphasis mine):
Of course, watch the meltdown when you point out that the state with the most strict gun control had it’s already high homicide rate jump up nearly 18 percent from 2014 to 2016. California, a state with every gun control imaginable, witnessed an 18 percent rise in firearm homicides from 2014 to 2016. This rise in firearm homicides comes despite the fact that Democrats, gun control groups, and the establishment media constantly claim that states with the strictest gun controls see lower rates of violence and death.
Ayup – the thought of “mice and men” streams through my head at this. And yet, it is never enough. EVAH!
I Get Stuff – the NH Firearms Coalition threat: fill out our Survey or you’re ANTI-GUN!
by Skip
This is just plain stupidity, tone deafness, and threatening all at the same time. The NH Firearms Coalition (“NHFC”) has been sending out their survey (of course, isn’t every political / advocacy group?) to candidates running for office. I have no problem with this at all and I’ve been advising Conservative / libertarian candidates not only which ones to fill out and which to ignore but also with answers to questions on some of the surveys because the questions are clear for what they are looking for with those answers. The problem is that sometimes, a possible ally of the group has a more nuanced answer than what is allowed on the on-line surveys that have set answers that clearly don’t reflect someone’s real values – and the candidates I help aren’t going to lie simply to get a recommendation or keep from being slammed for a “wrong” answer.
But the NHFC has really stepped into it with the above image – I took the top of their Letter and combined it with the bottom. It is that “sign off” that is really a kiss off. I’m ticked over it and *I* have a larger voice with GraniteGrok than they do; they need to be called out over it. Seriously, calling out potential allies as anti-gun simply for not returning a survey? This is nutcase territory and Alan Rice should be pelted with eggs, rotten tomatoes, and dead fish over this bone-headed threat.
Never mind.
The Union leader has just updated an earlier story about an 18 year old in Cocnord, New Hampshire who had been arrested and charged with criminal threatening with a dangerous weapon after a student reported that they had pulled a gun on them in the High School.
The evening incident resulted in an evacuation of the facility. The report suggests that about 50 people had to leave the school, students involved in activities and adult education participants were all evacuated so a police tac team could search the building. The student was found, off school grounds, where he was detained, arrested, and charged.
Tac team. Evacuation. Student charged with criminal threatening.
Wait. Turns out the girl who reported it lied.
Dean Trefethen – Dover, Only NH Mayor To Stand with Nanny Bloomberg
First, thanks to Kathleen LaBonte, who pointed out in the comments for this post, ‘Legal Gun Owners Against Stupid Gun Grabbing Mayors,‘ that Dover, New Hampshire Mayor Dean Trefethen is the only mayor in all of New Hampshire to climb on board Mike ‘Buckshot’ Bloomberg’s anti-gun owner clown car.
Trefethen has signed on to “mayorsagainstillegalguns.org.”
Really? Mayors Against Illegal Guns? Illegal guns. Bloomberg is such an arrogant ass. Every law abiding gun owner is against illegal guns so I’m reasonably certain (reasonably) that every mayor is as well; except perhaps for Chicago’s Rahm Emanuel of the ‘please just don’t touch the children fame,’ who may be the only U.S. mayor on public record for demonstrating that it is possible for a cities chief executive to couch gun related gang violence in terms of when he’s really really REALLY against illegal gun use. Hey- No shooting at each other when there are kids around? Got it?
Biden, “If it only saves one life.” Did Biden Say Something Rational? Yes, but He didn’t mean it.
by Don
Vice-President Biden surprised reporters by saying something that actually makes sense, unfortunately the administration intends to do something else. Here is the rational part of what Biden said, “Nothing we’re going to do is going to fundamentally alter or eliminate the possibility of another mass shooting or guarantee that we will bring gun deaths down to 1,000 a year from what it is now.”
Here is the part that differs from what the administration intends to do, “But there are things that we can do, demonstrably can do, that have virtually zero impact on your Second Amendment right to own a weapon for both self-defense and recreation that can save some lives.”
Yes, there are things that could cut down crime and have virtually zero impact on the Second Amendment rights of law abiding people. Here are a few things they could do:

Newsflash Atlanta…. Yesterday a youth intent on shooting fellow students at Atlanta’s Price Middle School was stopped by the school’s “Gun Free Zone” sign. Well, not really, that is just the fantasy that liberals want people to believe. Actually after wounding multiple people, the shooter was stopped, not by the “Gun Free Zone” sign, but … Read more
Shrill Kathy Chronicles: “We Need To Take Away The Guns Now!”
by Rick Olson
“One man with a gun can control 100 without one.” —Vladimir Lenin
Kathy Sullivan wants gun control, indeed. “We need to take the guns away now!,” She declares. Sullivan says a, “majority of Americans believe that the time has come for action.” But the anecdotes, facts, and statistics belie her assertion.
Facts are curious things. Sullivan sources Mother Jones Magazine attributing an absence of mass killings in Australia to

“We don’t devote enough scientific research to finding a cure for jerks.” —Bill Watterson
Piers Morgan does not like guns. That is okay with me. A great many people in this country do not like guns. Some people from here are particularly noisy about not liking guns. I suppose that is okay as well. What I take issue with are those instances where foreigners step upon our soil, and wag their finger at us, telling how we should not have guns. Piers Stefan O’Meara…Morgan is just one such scroat.

Get In the Zone At Autozone And Be Anti-Second Amendment
by Rick Olson
“The right of self-defense is the first law of nature; in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest possible limits. … and [when] the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction.” —St. George Tucker
As Fox News’ Todd Starnes reported, 23-year-old Devin McLean an employee of AutoZone stopped an armed robbery by retrieving a Glock 40 from his truck while working at the York County, Virginia store.
