Yes I am being a bit hyperbolic with the headline. I got your attention didn't I though?
Good. Because I need you to show up to the NH statehouse on Wednesday February 13th at 1PM and 2:30PM to testify on both bills, HB 109 (Establishing a firearms transaction registry by banning private sales) and HB 514 (9 day waiting period on firearms and ammo, effectively banning ammo sales).
The hearings are scheduled to be in the Legislative Office Building rooms 210-211 but it is possible they will get moved to reps hall as most gun bills get moved to reps hall due to turnout.
By the way you can email all reps at "hreps @nhleg.com", just delete the space and quotes. It was created because the speaker disabled the public email list for all reps.
Dems have filed a 9 (plus) day waiting period to purchase ammo and firearms from a dealer.
Things this bill would do:
Make all classes held by a dealer or manufacturer (Sig Sauer for instance) illegal unless they comply with the 9 day waiting period for ammo and firearms.
Manchester Firing Line would become a banned business (effectively).
The Hunter Safety class exemption only applies to rifles and shotguns. Want to buy a box of ammo? Too bad. Wait 9 days.
Police want to buy ammo? Too bad, wait 9 days.
Possess a Curio and Relic license and want to sell or give away some ammo? Too bad, you have to wait 9 days to sell it.
Businesses would be required to give up their records to the police on demand with no probable cause. People holding C&R's would be subject to this same 4th, 5th and new NH privacy amendment, article 2-b, violating demand as well.
