EFAs and GFAs

June 10, 2025 Ian Underwood

We should think about education the way we think about being armed — because being educated and being armed are the two principal tools for resisting over-reach by government. That is, you have a right, not to have someone else (arm/educate) you, but to (arm/educate) yourself. And you have a responsibility to be (armed/educated), that … Read more

So Kids, What Did We Learn From Thursday’s House Session (05/26/22)?

May 29, 2022May 27, 2022 Judy Aron

We learned it was “Picture Day” and “Ice Cream Social Day” at the State House. Most of us lined up on the State House Steps prior to House Session to snap a “class photo”. Thanks to House Speaker Staff, and Deputy Chief of Staff Debra Childs in particular, for herding cats. It was a nice … Read more

A Small Victory for Liberty

August 28, 2020 Norm Silber

In an opinion released this morning, the NH Supreme Court reversed an order of the Superior Court that had dismissed a suit brought against the Speaker of the NH House challenging the adoption of a rule that prohibited members of the House from carrying or possessing weapons anywhere in the Statehouse.

New Hampshire, Legislatures, And Gun Laws from the Founding to 2019

September 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

This week the Democrat Majority New Hampshire Legislature is attempting to override 55 vetoes. Governor Sununu didn’t veto enough bills, in my opinion, but 55 is impressive. Including legislative interference with your Second Amendment Rights.

With friends like us, who needs enemies?

April 11, 2019 Ian Underwood

Senator Lindsey Graham — nominally a Republican — is trying to put together federal legislation to give grants to states that pass Red Flag laws. The National Rifle Association — nominally a gun rights organization — has gone on record in support of these laws.

These have to be belated April Fool’s jokes, right? Unfortunately, they’re not. But there’s a joke that helps explain how situations like this come about:

Granite State Taxpayers Rally – Kimberly Morin

March 30, 2019 Skip

Gov. Sununu was not the only speaker that got recorded. Kimberly Morin (President of the Womens’ Defense League of NH, Grokster, and NH’s ndefatigable Tweeter who constantly is driving the Left absolutely bananas) was actually the first speaker. If you’ve ever heard her before, today’s speech by Kimberly will not disappoint! Gun Rights, womens’ rights, … Read more

Enemy of the People? Perhaps.

February 19, 2019 Op-Ed

by Tony Zore Waking up early on a vacation day, I shoveled out my car from the newly fallen snow and drove to the Statehouse Office building in Concord this past Feb. 13th to stand up for our 2nd Amendment Rights. On a day where Maine had cancelled all of its public testimonies and New … Read more

The Red Pen Governor

February 4, 2019 Steve MacDonald

The liberty and freedom we’ve enjoyed in New Hampshire is under direct attack. And it’s the worst it has ever been. Fresh off their November election wins, Democrats fired up their campaign to restrict rights and grow government. And, unfortunately, they control the House, Senate and Executive Council. But fortunately, we still have a Republican governor … Read more

John Kasich’s Gun Rights Veto Overridden by Ohio Legislature

December 28, 2018 Steve MacDonald

On Christmas Eve we reported on Governor John Kasich’s veto of some bills including “gun-rights” legislation. Kasich was emphatic in his rejection. “If you think I’m going to sign a bill that gives more power to the gun folks, are you kidding me?” The State Legislature wasn’t kidding when they sent it to his desk. So … Read more

Utilizing Your 2nd Amendment Rights

October 10, 2018 Op-Ed

by Wesley Oaks Have you been thinking about carrying a gun for protection? If you’ve never carried a gun or don’t have a lot of experience with them it can be an odd thing to consider. So, if you’re on the edge about the whole thing this article aims to provide you with the positives … Read more

Five Counties in Illinois Declare Sanctuary Status …For Gun Owners

September 26, 2018May 7, 2018 Steve MacDonald

This is a great idea.

At least five counties recently passed resolutions declaring themselves sanctuary counties for gun owners — a reference to so-called sanctuary cities such as Chicago that don’t cooperate with aspects of federal immigration enforcement.

And, naturally, the Democrats don’t much care for it.

July 15, 2024September 27, 2016 Steve MacDonald

The Police Are Not Obligated to Protect You

July 15, 2024December 18, 2015 Steve MacDonald

In this segment we talk about gun rights, crime, and self defense, because no one is required to defend you, your family, or your property but you; a fact of law the progressive gun grabbers will never share or admit.

The Real “Gun Problems” of New Jersey

July 15, 2024December 16, 2015 Steve MacDonald

Alex Roubian and Daniel Francisco (from NJ2AS) discuss the inconsistencies in the application of gun laws in New Jersey, discrimination issues, and what Gov. Christie has and has not done for gun owners in the Garden State. *There is some echo when the callers join the broadcast. It only lasts a few seconds.

Endorsing Violent Death?

July 15, 2024September 3, 2015 Steve MacDonald

Snowflake writes anti gun-rant. Rick Olson writes scathing take-down of snowflake. Snowflake has to take down his blog and make it by invitation only. We talk about the rant and Rick’s response, and Rick has a shout-out to the City of Concord that is not to be missed.

A Woman’s Right To Self Defense

July 15, 2024April 15, 2015 Steve MacDonald

In part II of our interview with Campus Reform contributor and NH Special election candidate Yvonne Dean-Bailey we talk about women’s self-defense, constitutional carry as a women’s rights issue, Laura “Pantaloons” (you have to listen to find out who that is), and gun rights on college campuses. (If you would like to donate or volunteer … Read more

Senator Andrew ‘Half-Baked’ Hosmer

July 15, 2024February 17, 2015 Steve MacDonald

When a State Senator called a female activist’s statements about the right to self defense “half-baked” we took him to task in print at GraniteGrok. When Saturday rolled around it was only natural that we would continue to have fun at his expense on the podcast.
