We must always have a way of holding to account those selling pistols and revolvers.

Guns are dangerous, and they should not be sold without a license

It is crazy to repeal the license to sell pistols and revolvers. We require licensing to drive a car because of the potential danger to others. Harm from pistols and revolvers is immediate, devastating, and cannot be reversed, same as harm from a car accident by a poor (unlicensed) driver. Thus, a license to sell pistols and revolvers, items that cause great and immediate harm even more than a wayward driver, must stay in place, so that others have some amount of protection. Protecting the many from the few is an important function of the law.

There is no reason to repeal the obligation of obtaining a license to sell a pistol or firearm. It will bring in revenue and be a way to assure the seller isn’t a criminal as well.

Live Free or Die, once again, our State motto. We fought a bloody revolution and many Sons of Liberty died in our State for those Rights. The Founding Fathers would be appalled to see what has become of the United States. Let's remedy that and get back to the Freedom we fought so hard for.

Our gun and weapons laws are fine.

This bill puts parents who are careful in their vaccination decision making who reject one or more doses of vaccines at risk of being declared "neglectful". This bill also puts parents who reject gender ideology to protect their child from harmful transgender drugs and procedures at risk of being declared "neglectful". Please amend the bill to protect parental rights and decisions.

Firearms sales should not be restricted by government. Sales between private parties should be unregulated the same as sales of home appliances and tools are. State licenses are just another layer of bureaucracy that does nothing to ensure safety, Sales from a commercial firearms dealer are already regulated by federal law, and include NICS checks.

Fed law already covers this and there is no reason for it to be on our books. RSA 159:8 simply seeks to add administrative burdens to businesses, small town governments, and through several forays on social media serves to confuse individuals reading our laws and trying to determine how to legally sell a firearm.
