by / 6 May 2019

Recently, Executive Councilor Andu Volinsky suggested that gubernatorial vetoes should be subject to Executive Council approval. Fortunately, there is one thing that stands between Councilor Volinsky and vetoes: The Constitution of the State of New Hampshire.

Part 1 – Testimony on behalf of HB564 – relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones

by / 26 March 2019

I am here in Concord to both record and to testify on HB 564 (“relative to possession of firearms in safe school zones.”).  It’s not a good bill – one that I would suggest is a nuisance bill that just makes it harder for law abiding gun owners to exercise their Second Amendment and Article …

But I do believe that they are interested in power — that is, …

Anti-Gun Bills: The Long View

by / 18 February 2019

The first thing to be said about all of the firearm-related bills being considered in Concord is that they take the wrong approach toward the goals sought by their sponsors.  The right approach would be to amend the New Hampshire Constitution to declare that not all persons have the right to defend themselves, to claim …
