A spokesman for the Gun Owners of America explains why David Meuse’s latest efforts need to be stopped.
New Hampshire has never really had a problem when it comes to gun violence, and has taken good care of its citizens with their rights. However, it appears Representative David Meuse is has sights set on diluting these rights anyway.
Meuse recently filled a legislative service request that would call on New Hampshire to require background checks for private firearm sales, and enact waiting periods for all firearm purchases. With this, there is a good possibility that this request could become a bill by the time the new legislative session kicks off in January.
In a statement, the Gun Owners of America noted, “New Hampshire is one of the safest, freest, pro-gun states in the Union – and diluting our Second Amendment rights will NOT keep it that way.”
Sam Parades, another Gun Owners of America spokesman, is available to speak on this subject, serving as Executive Director of the Gun Owners of America.
Stephen Willeford, the 2017 “hero with a gun” who serves as the spokesman for the Gun Owners of America, is also available for interview.
Q&A:
- What do you think is motivating Meuse to file this legislation with New Hampshire?
- Does he fear that gun control is necessary in a state where they seem to be handled very well?
- Is there a possibility this will become a bill? Or could a potential lawsuit based around the Second Amendment knock it down?
- If passed, could other states potentially follow suit with gun rights restrictions as well?
- Where can those interested in learning more about this measure – and fighting back against it – go?
- FOR STEPHEN: You recently wrote a book called A Town Called Sutherland Springs: Faith and Heroism Through Tragedy, revolving around your 2017 “hero with a gun” situation. Tell us more about how this came together, and why it’s such an important read right now.
- FOR STEPHEN: Where can people find your book?
- Where can we learn more about you, as well as Gun Owners of America?
