Democrat Rep Marjorie Smith has drafted legislation to legalize medically assisted dying in New Hampshire. In its current form (10 pages), it reads like boilerplate camel nose under the tent- assisted suicide, except that by law, you’re not allowed to call it that.

Slippery Meet Slope: “15 to 20 Percent of these People are Dying by Euthanasia.”
The death cult is lengthening its stride in the US. A number of states have embraced medically assisted suicide under the pretense of compassion. Initially for those with chronic pain, but increasingly for people who represent cultural or political pain.
Slippery Meet Slope: Woman Asks for Help with Suicidal Ideation, Her ‘Therapist’ Recommends Euthanasia
The blind spot on the issue of state-sanctioned assisted suicide just grew exponentially and in the very direction that we have long suggested it would. A 37-year-old woman seeking help for chronic suicidal thoughts was asked if she’d ever considered medically assisted suicide.
Notable Quote – It HAS Been The Slippery Slope We’ve Said It Would Become!
Emphasis mine: “Seeing this censorship industry go from, well, we’re just fighting ISIS to well, we’re just fighting Russian disinformation bots to well, now we need to fight domestic misinformation, which is just saying we need to fight against people who are saying things we disagree with online, that’s all that means. And I — … Read more
And this is a MASSIVELY Stupid (yes, with a capital “S”) idea, Bruce Breton
Well, it would put one thing to rest – New Hampshire as the First in The Nation (“FITN”) Primary State. Second, as I have said for years, the FITN primary really distorts the political “marketplace” as the locals start falling all agog over themselves with all of the Bright and Shiny Objects waltzing into NY. … Read more
“Don’t let people who already have them keep them” – here comes the slippery slope
I quoted Chuck here in this post:
In the current state of play, moderate gun owners have become convinced by the NRA and other, even more radical gun organizations such as Gun Owners of America that the goal of all gun-safety advocates is to take away their guns. These owners view even the most reasonable gun-safety proposals with suspicion, fearing a slippery slope to a ban on firearms. This paranoia is what gives the gun lobby its power.
Well, looks like there ARE people, possessing sufficient power, to try grease that slippery slope. Oh sure, there will be tender words from the Left of compromise and “no, we won’t take your guns away”. However, their level of compromise, in taking advantage of this emotional crisis, will be this; if 100 is where we are now, and 0 is absolute confiscation, I have no doubt they believe that a 12 will be a “good compromise”. Why do I think so? Here’s just a few; I am convinced that more will come flocking out, especially as they see political opportunity to quickly move a Progressive goal of effectively disarming the populace, especially the red states.
- US Rep Ron Barber (D-Ariz): I want to see legislation enacted that takes away the availability of these kinds of weapons that can do so much harm in such a short period of time
- Judge Larry Burns: To guarantee that there would never be another Tucson or Sandy Hook, we would probably have to make it a capital offense to so much as look at a gun….Ban the manufacture, importation, sale, transfer and possession of both assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Don’t let people who already have them keep them. Don’t let ones that have already been manufactured stay on the market.
- NYC Mayor Bloomberg: he would go farther than the 1994 ban and outlaw all automatic and semi-automatic weapons and high-capacity magazines. The mayor said magazines shouldn’t be allowed to contain more than five or even three rounds.
And then NY Gov. Andrew Cuomo actually came out and made it quite plain what the end game may well be – a ‘0’:
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo (D-N.Y.) said Thursday that all options, including confiscation and “mandatory sales to the state,” would be on the table next month when the New York State Legislature debates new gun control measures. The comments were specifically aimed at what might happen should stricter rules be imposed on “assault” weapons and high-capacity magazines.

No, we are not turning into a gun blog…but hate the demogoguing the “guilt”
…even if it might look that way. However, as the issue of guns go for us, while almost every Grokster shoots (some WAY more than others), we see it as yet another infringement by Statists in determining what is and isn’t good for you as in “Why do you need that” and “I can’t understand why anyone would want that”. And none of these Progressives just don’t seem to understand the philosophy of Freedom. They miss the fundamental pillar of Freedom:
“it doesn’t matter if you don’t understand it – that is for law abiding citizens to decide for themselves”.
Like all Progressives, they never seemed to learn the lesson of “Mind your business” – even if you are a lawmaker. Guns seem to always be of this particular Progressive flaw – they cannot accept the idea that people want to do stuff with guns simply because they want to. Simple as that. In a free society, must there be more? Have we now turned into a Society (at least, that part that is not yet been absorbed by the actions of Government) whereby we MUST explain our selves? And does that mean that we are now automatically guilty (at least in the hot button Progressive issues) instead of innocent first?
Well, according the Chucky Schumer (D-Progressive Socialist of NY) and Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Progressive Socialist of TX):
