Last week we sent out an alert about the legislature being back in session. This past Saturday the Senate released the Calendar for this week, and tomorrow, Wednesday, 6/24 at 9:10am there is a critical Senate hearing on HB687 (RED FLAG GUN CONFISCATION) that you can attend WITHOUT driving to Concord. The Senate is doing a virtual hearing this week via zoom. Details are below.
Please make every effort to ‘attend’ this hearing.
We have discussed this bill in our emails and on our website numerous times. Bottom line is this type of legislation allows people with a personal grievance to use Government to take your firearms without due process. Please read our short fact sheet on gun confiscation by clicking here and you can click here for an excellent video by Guns and Gadgets on the real nature of the gun confiscation bill. Then, do not wait, start contacting your State Senator and urging them to vote HB 687 “inexpedient to legislate”. I expect that this bill will be voted on by the committee on the 24th, so there is no time to wait.
I need you to make 2 calls and email in your opposition.
First: Call the committee at 603-271-2609 and leave a polite message with the committee secretary for all of the committee members about your opposition to this bill.
Second: Call your own senator (Find their phone number here) and leave a message about your opposition to this bill. http://gencourt.state.nh.us/Senate/members/wml.aspx
Third: Send in an email to the committee that this bill needs to be killed. Email remotesenate@leg.state.nh.us and put the bill number (HB-687) in the subject line of the email and ask them to Kill this bill.
9:10 a.m. HB 687-FN, RED FLAG Gun Confiscation relative to extreme risk protection orders.
