She Wants To Exercise Her Right to Defend Herself – NH Democrats Want to Stop Her

March 19, 2019 Steve MacDonald

New Hampshire Democrats are pushing a 7-day waiting period to buy a firearm. There is no reason too impose this restriction in New Hampshire. None.

January 18, 2025March 17, 2019 Steve MacDonald

By nearly unanimous rubber-stamp consent 99% of New Hampshire Democrats, including all four from Merrimack, are convinced your electric rates are too low. You are just not paying enough.
