Concord, NH – House Republican Leader Dick Hinch (R-Merrimack) released the following statement following the veto of three pieces of anti-gun legislation: HB109, HB514, HB564.
“New Hampshire is consistently ranked as one of the safest states in the nation. The vast majority of gun owners in New Hampshire are honest, law abiding citizens,” said Hinch. “These bills are an unnecessary attempt to solve a problem that doesn’t exist in our state. This excessive government overreach has the potential to make criminals out of responsible gun owners. Had these bills become law, they would have done nothing to alleviate the concerns of the bills’ proponents, and I support the decision of Governor Sununu to veto them.”
