This is wonderful news. I love the way gun-rights folks keep talking like these gun bills are part of their 2A rights and therefore inevitable. It's heartening to see not everyone agrees with that.The New Hampshire state Senate rejected several controversial gun bills Wednesday. All of the proposals originally passed the House.
The move suggests that the Senate’s patience for 2nd Amendment legislation may be about up.
The Senate made brisk work of the so-called gun bills in front of them. “We spent a grand total of 6 minutes on 5 bills because we want to focus on the issues that are important to the New Hampshire people,” Senate President Peter Bragdon said.
The bills the Senate down include a measure allowing people to carry loaded weapons – including crossbows – in their vehicles and one that permits weapons in public places like college campuses, the Verizon Center and the state psychiatric hospital.

Mikeb, that headline should be more along the lines of "More Restrictive Gun Control Measures in the 'Live Free or Die State'"

How about they were exercising their right to life.
ReplyDeleteThey wanted to live free rather than die from gun fire caused by the proliferation of firearms.
You comics are a regular riot. I say it was a setback, you say no it wasn't. I say was so, you say was not, was so, was not.
DeleteI thought you believed in the "shall not be infringed" bullshit? Shall we call this a disappointment then instead of a setback. Do you like that better, you semantic, contentious, silly boys.
Mikeb, this was not a setback, since what is currently allowed wasn't limited. This is a failure of the legislature to step forward.
ReplyDeleteExactly. It takes quite the anti-gun optimist to refer to keeping the status quo as a setback for gun rights. This does explain why you think your side is winning.

ReplyDeleteActually, dumbfuck, they did exactly that; they told the morons in the house to grow the fuck up.
Democommie, I take it that you don't know the difference between a win and a loss. What, exactly, was lost in this vote?
DeleteYa gotta love libtards . . . so very eloquent!
DeleteI'll bet your momma was so very proud of you.
