GUN CONTROL ALERT – Red Flag Hearing

January 18, 2024 / NHWomen / 2nd Amendment

On Thursday, January 25th at 1:30 PM, a hearing is planned in the Senate Judiciary Committee for Michael Bloomberg’s Red Flag bill, aka ‘Extreme Risk Protection Orders’ (Senate Bill 360).

This legislation is some of the most draconian gun control legislation to ever be presented in the NH Legislature. Bloomberg’s organization has already spent over $1 MILLION to push NYC-style gun control in one of the safest states in the country.

Red Flag laws violate our 1st, 2nd, 4th, 5th, and 6th Amendment rights that are supposed to be protected by our legislators. Even New York’s Red Flag law was struck down by their Supreme Court. Yet gun controllers continue to push the very same laws in the Granite State.

They claim these laws are about safety, but they literally have nothing to do with safety, and everything to do with gun confiscation. They are discriminatory laws that are only applied to law-abiding gun owners. They are laws that allow ‘thought police’ to make assumptions about what a person might do, sometime in the future.

What can you do? Show up to the hearing. Bloomberg’s out-of-state funded organization already sends people from various states in New England. Granite Staters in the 2A community must show up in force! Arrive earlier than the 1:30 timeline as the other hearings may finish sooner and to be sure to get a seat. The committee room isn’t very big.

You can also email and/or call the Senate Judiciary Committee Members to show your opposition to the legislation:
