The majority Democrat House of New Hampshire has voted to advance a red flag gun law, which would allow anyone to report suspicion of family, co-workers, or neighbors, resulting in their gun rights being taken away.
The 201-176 vote occurred on the opening day of the new legislative session. Currently, 17 other states and Washington, D.C., have passed some sort form of “red flag” laws.
#nhpolitics Members of the NH Dem party have proved their value, to the communists that our members sought to flee from. The US is supposed to be the lifeboat of the wold, but now it just another oppressive nation that targets its own people. Red Flag Laws are tools of tyrants.

It’s an odd move considering that New Hampshire is rated one of the safest states in the country in annual studies. It’s known for being a low crime state, particularly with regards to violent crimes. The state currently has no Red Flag law, generally few firearms laws, permitless carry, and concealed carry.
#nhpolitics One of our members ran an internet background check on all members of the committee reviewing NH's Red Flag Law. Using the standards in the bill, only 2 passed. That's how ridiculous and terrible Red Flag Laws are. @GovChrisSununu

The legislation is expected to easily pass the majority Democrat New Hampshire Senate, but is likely to be vetoed by the Republican Governor, Chris Sununu.
