NH Senate – Gun Control Hearings

January 15, 2026 / NHWomen / 2nd Amendment, gun control, New Hampshire

On Tuesday, January 20th, beginning at 1:40 PM in Room 100 at the State House, there are two gun control hearings planned in the Senate Judiciary Committee. One is for Michael Bloomberg’s Red Flag bill, aka ‘Critical Risk Protection Orders’ (Senate Bill 555). The other is to prevent law-abiding gun owners with pistol/revolver licenses from legally carrying on school grounds (Senate Bill 463).

Red Flag Bill

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. In fact, NH was named THE safest state in the country in 2025.

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 be thinking about thinking about doing, sometime in the future.

School Zone Ban

Yet another ‘Gun Free Zone‘ bill that seeks to endanger the lives of students, law-abiding citizens, and teachers. This legislation will criminalize pistol/revolver holders who are currently allowed, by federal law, to carry concealed on school grounds. This legislation will be a BEACON to criminals who seek to harm the defenseless. Why? Because law-abiding citizens will follow the law, despite the potential of being put in harm’s way.

This also puts women who need to protect themselves AT RISK of being harmed by an abusive ex or a stalker because they will not be able to carry concealed when dropping their children off at school, especially if they walk their children to school.

Take Action

What can you do? Show up to these gun control hearings. Arrive earlier than the 1:40 timeline so you can be sure to get a seat. The committee room isn’t very big, and they don’t allow ‘standing room.’

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