GOP welcomes back guns to the New Hampshire State House

The Union Leader reports:
Republicans started off the year by allowing guns in and around the New Hampshire House chambers Wednesday, and starting an ouster attempt against a leading Democrat.

The change in gun policy reverses a long-standing ban on firearms in Representatives Hall and adjacent areas. Republicans supported the change in a loud voice vote.

Democrats tried to win a ban on deadly weapons in the House gallery area, but were defeated by the three-to-one GOP majority. Firearms have been banned from the chamber for 40 years, since 1971.

Lawmakers on Tuesday repealed a year-old ban on all weapons at the State House complex.
Some people view the Second as a holistic perspective!
