New Hampshire has no laws limiting the age at which a person can own and carry firearms. [10] [11] [12] As one of the 3 safest states in the country, we don`t need more gun laws. I think one of the reasons NH is so safe is that the “bad guys” never know who might wear. Now, if you are equally horrified by every needless death and you want to ban all guns, other guns or other people from having guns as a solution to some, most or all of these deaths, I ask you this: Do you know the current laws in your city? Are you aware of the gun laws that are in place at the time and place of each of the tragedies mentioned above? If so, then you know for sure that each of these killers broke several laws: gun laws, homicide laws, federal laws, local laws. What “other law” do you think will suddenly stop a criminal who doesn`t care about current laws? Do you think there is actually a law that can eliminate gunpowder technology? How exactly will this path of “solution” actually stop the deaths of innocent people? New Hampshire`s gun laws govern the sale, possession and use of firearms and ammunition in the state of New Hampshire in the United States. [1] [2] [3] New Hampshire`s gun laws are among the most permissive in the United States; Although the state has not experienced a mass shooting since 1982,[4][5] its gun death rate (per 100,000 population) is twice that of neighboring Massachusetts, which is one of the strictest gun laws in the United States. This is entirely due to a difference in suicide rates between New Hampshire and Massachusetts, as New Hampshire also has the lowest per capita homicide rate of any state, which is less than half the per capita homicide rate of Massachusetts. [6] New Hampshire has the 9th lowest gun death rate of the 50 states. [7] If you have any questions that can`t be answered here, please let us know!

It has been proven time and time again in cities like Chicago, Detroit, New York, and DC that strict gun laws do not create crime-free zones. Gun control is clearly not the answer to prevent these kinds of tragedies. If we want to stop the slaughter, then we need to be honest with ourselves about our true goals and then spend time taking a closer and deeper look at those who choose to kill instead of their guns. Knowing your gun rights and state laws is the first step to becoming a responsible gun owner. Understanding how these gun laws translate across state borders is equally important. The horrific tragedy at Sandy Hook Elementary School is accompanied by another push for a group of citizens to hurry to “do something.” It`s easy to get caught up in all the emotional pleas, unsubstantiated claims, and outright lies shouted at lightning speed on the internet, but shouldn`t we really take a moment to reflect on the truth of the tragedies and the myriad of gun laws currently in place before rushing to solve the wrong problem? For New Hampshire gun owners, it`s important to remember that the following laws are subject to change without notice. The Attorney General`s website contains all the most up-to-date information and should be visited regularly by licensees. This is not addressed in state laws.
Regardless of the laws of your state, it is not wise to be under the influence of a substance that could impair your judgment, slow down your reaction times, or impair your decision-making ability. Every decision you make while carrying a gun can have life-changing consequences. Contrary to what you may have heard from CNN, the president, or other unreliable sources, this is how the U.S. Senate should work. Senators debated bills, considered competing amendments and voted on. The process won`t be interrupted just because you didn`t like the result. That hasn`t stopped gun control advocates from declaring the end of Republican democracy after the Senate failed to pass the recent attempt to remove a few more snippets from the Second Amendment. The Manchin-Toomey amendment, which was at the center of last week`s gun control debate, was so watered down that it contained few of the strict restrictions desired by gun control groups, and almost none of the reforms long awaited by gun owners.
It was rather weak to spark such passion on both sides of the gun debate. It was not a good week for the National Rifle Association, which even resisted sending the bill to the Senate. It was a major tactical mistake that would have given President Obama and gun control groups a political and fundraising advantage. The opening of the issue to debate and alternative amendments revealed the weak foundations of gun control. An amendment to renew the 1994 assault weapons ban failed 40-60 this week, with New Hampshire Sen. Jeanne Shaheen among those who voted to overturn a bill that didn`t work the first time. On a wave of emotion, a full White House judicial press and a Democratic majority, the Senate received only 40 votes for the centerpiece of the gun control program. It was an even worse week for the professional underdogs. These political parasites survive by stoking conservative disillusionment within the Republican Party. A Colorado contender named Dudley Brown attacked senators like Kelly Ayotte of New Hampshire for voting to put the bill on the table.
My friends in Colorado already knew he was misinformed and counterproductive. Now we all do. But no one suffered more from the Senate vote than Obama, as his angry Rosengarten speech shows. Obama lamented that the NRA lied about Manchin-Toomey, even though he used patently false statistics during his campaign for greater gun control. He called Senate votes shameful while shamelessly using parents of children killed at Sandy Hook. But this law would not have prevented another Newtown, nor would it have prevented the Boston Marathon bombing or the explosion of a fertilizer plant in West, Texas. Obama and other gun control advocates are furious. They assume that Second Amendment advocates know that restrictive gun laws would save lives, and they don`t care. They assume that limiting gun ownership would reduce crime by preventing criminals and lunatics from getting their hands on deadly weapons. But their premise is false. Gun control does not prevent criminals from obtaining firearms, it does not reduce crime or save lives. This week`s gun debate was just a spectacle.
The president`s best-case scenario was to get a watered-down gun control bill through the Senate, giving him the ability to attack House Republicans if they put it in a drawer. His recourse was to attack the Senate GOP for obstructing gun control. Instead, we had a national debate on gun control, and gun control was lost.
