On Thursday, February 22nd, the New Hampshire House of Representatives held floor votes on gun related bills. Thanks to the strong support of NRA members and Second Amendment supporters, gun owners notched two major victories. The NRA and its members thank lawmakers for supporting Granite Staters' Second Amendment rights.
House Bill 1186 prohibits the assigning of a specific merchant category code to the sale of firearms, ammunition, or firearm accessories, and provides a civil penalty for violations of this prohibition passed the New Hampshire House of Representatives 203-174. This critical legislation protects gun-owners privacy and ensures that bad actors cannot use credit and debit card transactions to create a gun-registry or block cardholders from making gun-related purchases. This bill now heads to the Senate for passage.
House Bill 1050 would have created a legal avenue for New Hampshire residents to waive their Second Amendment rights and be prohibited from purchasing a firearm died in the New Hampshire House of Representatives 205-175. This bill created concerns surrounding the ability for an individual to be coerced or intimidated into forfeiting their Constitutional rights. Additionally, this bill had no clear rights restoration process, meaning that someone who forfeited their rights may never be able to regain them and remain a prohibited individual indefinitely.
These bills serve as major victories for Granite Staters, but the fight continues. Please contact your State Senator and urge them to support House Bill 1186 when it receives a Senate floor vote. Click the TAKE ACTION button below to contact your State Senator NOW.
