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 |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
