According to a newly released report by the Giffords Law Center, New Hampshire's death rate by violent acts involving guns is 30 percent below the national average.
Advocates on both sides of the issue agree that the state’s death rate – 10.3 gun-related deaths per 100,000 people -- is still too high, but both differ greatly on what's at its root.
On the heels of the New Hampshire Senate upholding the governor's veto of three gun-related bills, advocates in favor of regulation said their concerns about safety begin with how easy it is to get a gun in the Granite State. |

There was a time when one could go into a hardware store or gun store, buy any number of guns and walk out without so much as showing your ID. And we didn't have the problems we have today.
It's not the guns stupid.

TO REMEMBER |
| Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands? — Patrick Henry, 3 J. Elliot, Debates in the Several State Conventions 45, 2d ed. Philadelphia, 1836 |
