SB154 needs to be corrected and passed

by Secretary, NHFC on March 28, 2021

I will take executive action…Senator Kamala Harris warned a crowd in New Hampshire two years ago. Now the Vice President, Harris and President Biden are planning to do exactly that.

During the election, Harris and Biden promised to take action on firearms in the first 100 days… Their first 100 days are closing in on us, not even two weeks away. And, they have no gun control legislation to show for it – letting down their base in dramatic fashion.

But, lack of congressional action won’t stop them. They, after all, have a “pen and a phone,” and a “crisis” to leverage to implement executive action.

‘Vice’ President Harris’, executive actions will likely target private gun sales, requiring “universal” background checks. She’ll also aim to ban the most common semi-automatic rifles because they look scary.  She wants to take your typical hunting firearm and claim that this is a ‘assault weapon’ and therefore needs to be confiscated.

This is not about getting rid of the second amendment, it is about ‘reasonable gun safety laws’ there is no reason we have ‘assault weapons’ on the streets..Harris told New Hampshire during the campaign. 

There is something we can do, thankfully.

The New Hampshire Senate is considering Senate Bill 154, a bill that would prohibit any law enforcement officer in New Hampshire from enforcing the Biden/Harris gun grab schemes.

Unfortunately, while other groups and political parties are crowing about the bill, the amendment that Senate Judiciary Committee proposed neuters the bill, so we need your help. 

E-mail your Senator TODAY [Insert your own subject line and additional text that you want, and sign and send the email] and tell them to say NO to Amendment 0987s!  Ask them to adopt the amendment that addresses executive orders, ATF rules and Congressional actions. We have included an amendment below.

The Senate must make the bill stronger, not weaker. Please send them the proposed language below, and tell them to adopt this better, stronger amendment that protects your second amendment rights from infringement!

Here is the language of the amendment that the Senate NEEDS to adopt instead!

CHAPTER 159-E
