There is a lot to celebrate from this past week. On Wednesday April 21st, County Attorney Patricia Conway asked to have her name removed for consideration for a Superior court judgeship. Your activism made this possible as the real decision was made the day before when there were at least 3 Executive counselors who had decided to vote against her nomination if the nomination was brought up on Wednesday. Two of the 3 made their views public on Monday via the press. Thank you for your activism!
We are still looking into the new court nominations. If you know anything about either please contact us:
- Elizabeth M. Leonard, Concord
- Daniel E. Will, Loudon
Both of these individuals have been nominated to the NH Superior Court system. Together we are a more powerful voice then we are as individuals.
This week in Concord there are two bills that you need to know about:
SB 154 (Prohibiting the state from enforcing a Presidential Executive Order that restricts or regulates the right of the people to keep and bear arms).
A better name for this bill is ‘The “want-to-be” NH 2a Sanctuary State act’. This bill will have a public hearing Wednesday April 28 beginning at 11:30 AM you must register for this hearing in advance if you wish to testify or register your support for the bill. The bill as passed by the Senate was next to useless as it only dealt with Executive Orders and we are hearing that the House is willing to amend it to make it better, but the amendments that have leaked out, have no consequences for breaking this new statute.
Any real 2a sanctuary state act needs to prohibit all of the following:
- Executive orders
- ATF rules
- Congressional actions
…and needs to have penalties for public employees that attempt to enforce those unlawful rules, regulations and statutes. Insist that the House committee adopt a amendment to this bill with real teeth to protect our rights.
Some forthcoming Federal legislation has already been introduced in either the House of Representatives or the Senate in Washington DC include: Note, two of these bills have already passed one branch.
- H.R. 8 (Universal Gun Registration Act).
- H.R. 121 (ATF Expansion Act)
- H.R. 125: (Mandatory 7 day waiting period Act)
- H.R. 127 (Elimination of normal magazines Act)
- H.R. 167 (Gun Show Prohibition Act)
- H.R. 880 (Regulate all Firearms Act)
- H.R. 881 (Tie Guns to to Public Health Act)
- H.R. 1008 (Government control of Triggers Act)
- H.R. 1207 (Eliminate Online Ammo Sales Act)
- H.R. 1446 (Mandatory 10 day waiting period Act)
- SB 292 (Red Flag Gun Confiscation Bill)
- SB 736 (Assault Weapons Ban)
- SB 591 (The Yet another Background Check Bill)
ALL of these bills are dangerous and unconstitutional. NHFC believes that New Hampshire should stand firm in rejecting these unconstitutional attempts at disarmament, and legislate protections for gun owners here in SB 154.
Sign in here: http://gencourt.state.nh.us/house/committees/remotetestimony/default.aspx This bill is before the House Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee. Whether or not you testify, sign in and show your support for this bill by close of business Tuesday.

The bill in a nutshell: This bill prohibits any person acting under color of state law or as an agent of the state from taking any action, expending any funds, or exercising any power of the state of New Hampshire to enforce any Executive Order of the President of the United States which has the purpose or effect of restricting or regulating the right of the people to keep and bear arms.
NHFC Supports the passage of SB154 with amendments to make it broader and to give it teeth.
There is one other hearing that day that is of interest: SB 141 Relative to the procedure for conducting firearm background checks. (The “We just want our new gun to go home with us today” bill) will have a public hearing Wednesday April 28 beginning at 9:00 AM you must register for this hearing in advance if you wish to testify or register your opposition for the bill as it is written.
The current Brady check system is unconstitutional and there is no clear solution that is a true win for gun owners. The only true solution is to repeal the unconstitutional law.
