Bad Bill of the Month

HB 135 Bill Sponsored by Rep. Stephen Shurtleff, Merrimack 11

HB 135 STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE….

1. Eliminates the provision allowing a person to use deadly force anywhere he or she has a right to be. (If you are in a dark parking lot, just be ready to run, I guess…)

2. Amends the definition of non-deadly force. (The bill amends by removing, “The act of producing or displaying a weapon shall constitute non deadly force.”)

3. Repeals the provision granting civil immunity for the use of force in certain circumstances. (Be careful about showing your gun in a possibly dangerous situation or you could be in serious trouble…?)

The sponsor of this bill, Rep. Steven Shurtleff, is a retired U. S. Marshall and law enforcement officer. As a “qualified retired law enforcement officer”, he is covered under (LEOSA) the federal Law Enforcement Officers Safety Act, to carry a concealed firearm in any jurisdiction in the United States. This means Rep. Shurtleff is immune from the provisions of his own bill! This bill seeks to restrain law abiding citizens from carrying under their Second Amendment rights. However, Rep. Shurtleff will have the right to carry anywhere – anytime. Hypocrisy at its finest? You bet it is. But, our story continues…

At the public hearing of the bill, on Jan. 22, according to Andrew Hemingway (recent candidate for Chairman of the NHGOP),

Gun Confiscation, “Could Be An Option”

“Political language… is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind.” —George Orwell

In my last post just only hours ago, I posited the notion that Gun Guntrol advocates are, in fact “Coming for our Guns.”

“Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun, but permit it.” —NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo

During a radio interview New York Governor Andrew Cuomo stated, “Confiscation could be an option,” referencing semi-automatic rifles, liberals like to call, “Assault Weapons.” Cuomo told WGDJ-AM of his gun control proposals that he will outline at his State of the State Address on January 9.

Gov. Cuomo said:

“I don’t think legitimate sportsmen are going to say, ‘I need an assault weapon to go hunting.’ There is a balance here, I understand the rights of gun owners.”

“Confiscation could be an option. Mandatory sale to the state could be an option. Permitting could be an option — keep your gun, but permit it.”

Governor Andrew Cuomo is a liar. Saying he understands

Democrat Lead New Hampshire House Rules Committee Votes to Ban Guns

The New Hampshire House Rules committee, now run by Democrats, voted 6-4 yesterday to ban guns from the House portions of the State house. The measure will now go to the House floor for a vote where it will see some discussion, after which–I predict–it will pass. Side Note: This, despite the failure of any … Read more

Guns vs Progressives

Gun%20Free%20Zone%20Poll.gif After 12 more hours the Londonderry News on-line polling percentages tell the same story. People who vote on polls at the Londonderry news would (so far) overwhelmingly allow their fourth grader into the New Hampshire State House even though it is not a Gun Free Zone.

For those reading this from police states like Massachusetts, New York or New Jersey…Venezuela, Cuba and so on, you might be asking what the hell am I talking about? Allow me to review.

A Compromise?

Weapons of mass destruction There is a very touching bit of sympathy-searching in the Union Leader’s My Turn editorial today. Eric Merklin, husband of State House Rep Tara Sad (D-Walpole) cranks up the left wing fantasy-template on State House violence and goes fishing.

He is ‘worried’ that someone in the gallery could shoot his wife.

Does Eric realize that his wife, the third term House member, sat there in the well for years under the sights of armed observers while the democrats controlled the body, and no one tried to shoot anyone? Given what the progressives did you’d think that was the threshold opportunity for all those right wing crazies. Balloon fines, bathroom bills, gay marriage, fines, fees, taxes, more taxes, yet no gun battles. He does troll out the HCR6 shouting to make the point that yelling is the gateway drug to gunning down innocent people in the House chamber despite the lack of evidence to support it, but if yelling leads to gun violence why are there still progressives walking around heating up the planet with their exhaled exhortations to ban guns? They should have wiped themselves out by now?

So we have several years with nobody crying a public river about the risk of bloodshed in Concord’s hallowed halls until it appeared to be politically convenient, which makes the "it’s all about safety" shtick smell like rovers little donation to renewable fertilizers–which I think got a green energy grant through RGGI if I remember correctly. Its got that disingenuous feel that reeks of populist fear-mongering of the sort only the right can ever be guilty of.

This also leaves us wondering what’s next after a State House ban we didn’t need then…but have to have now? (Well, not really. We know what comes next but just play along.)

Liberals Should Listen To Michael Ellenbecker

Per Skips post a few inches down the scroll… I will not enter our people’s house until this abhorrent policy is changed. I urge all of my fellow citizens to do the same. MICHAEL ELLENBECKERConcord Mike can spend that time watching the Oprah Winfrey Network with his fellow (progressive) citizens. I’m good with that.
