In a press release today titled “No Guns in Classrooms or Dorms“, Governor John Lynch returns to the same fear mongering tactics he and high-ranking police administrators used throughout the state when they vehemently opposed the modification to the deadly force law which now doesn’t require you to turn and run when your life is in jeopardy.
Oh, the New Hampshire General Court utterly ignored the Governor and his law enforcement contingent and passed that bill. There hasn’t been any random killings in the street like they tried to have you believe, either.
Well done NH House of Representatives and NH Senate. Let’s see you do it again!
From today’s most recent tirade:
CONCORD – Law enforcement and higher education officials from across New Hampshire today called on the House to reject a bill that would allow guns in college classrooms, dorms, libraries and across public higher education campuses. House bill 334 is one of three the House could possibly take action on as early tomorrow that will severely weaken New Hampshire’s decades-old gun laws and potentially put public safety at risk.
Wrong, politicians like you and your law enforcement/USNH cadre put public safety at risk, Governor Lynch. All of these regulations only hurt the people who would never hurt someone in the first place. In Utah and Oregon carrying firearms is specifically allowed on campuses like ours. I’ve been waiting for you or the University System of New Hampshire to come up with some examples of how enhancing self-defense freedoms for peaceful people out west has been a disaster of a public policy change. I’ve heard crickets.
Amazing that this simple logic doesn’t get through to these people.
Not that the Governor and his law enforcement supporters care about the oath they took, but Part I Article 2-a of the New Hampshire Constitution says:
“All persons have the right to keep and bear arms in defense of themselves, their families, their property and the state.”
I guess by “all persons” it really means “all people except if you are a college student, because if you’re a college student you need to be treated like a child.”
This video is made-up of three short parts:
In 2010, the Shire Society declaration was presented and signed by dozens at the Porcupine Freedom Festival. In 2011, ShireSociety.com was launched, allowing people to digitally sign the Declaration as well as print out their own. With the rise of other regional-focused activism sites like Free Concord and Free Manch, as well as Shire-branded activism efforts like Shire Choir and Shire Sharing, it seemed like the liberty activist community could use another venue for communicating outside the somewhat insular and corporate-controlled Facebook (notwithstanding how useful FB can be).
With that in mind, the Free Keene Forum has been re-branded the Shire Society Forum and expanded to include Shire-oriented forums as well as other regional forums for Manch, Concord, and the rest of the land commonly known as New Hampshire. (more…)
Satirical supporters of republican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich were prevented from attending a speaking event at the Radisson, where Gingrich accepted the endorsement of NH House Speaker William O’Brien. I arrived at the event just as the supporters were being ejected, and found that they made for a much more interesting story than what would be occurring formally. See my footage below of the Pro-Gingrich rally outside of the Radisson on December 21.
The current (January 2012) edition of New Hampshire Magazine prominently features Bob “Weeda Claus” Constantine in the cover story, “Up In Smoke: Is the Live Free or Die State Ready for Legal Weed?” In addition to being Weeda Claus, Bob is an advocate for jury awareness at NHJury.com and will launch the “Just Say Know” campaign with other Fr33 Agents in 2012. Along with Bob, Kirk McNeil of the New Hampshire Coalition for Common Sense Marijuana Policy, John Tommasi of Law Enforcement Against Prohibition (LEAP), State Senator Jim Forsythe and State Representative Evalyn Merrick – someone who personally benefitted from medical marijuana – all represent the view that the prohibition of cannabis should end.
The following is the “Waging War” section from NH Magazine’s “Up in Smoke” article:

If asked to name the longest war on record that was declared and fought by the U.S. government, what would you answer? The Revolution? World War II? Vietnam? Iraq and Afghanistan? Not even close. This is the 40th year of the “War on Drugs,” first declared by President Nixon in 1971. The Obama administration declared it was dropping the term “war” in 2009 but, linguistic quibbles aside, the same basic battle strategy continues.In most discussions about crime and its consequences, everyone involved is usually careful to first cite the plight of the victims of the crime: the beaten child, the grieving mother. Alongside the victims are the law enforcement officers who have performed their duty in pursuit of justice. But here’s where it gets sticky. (more…)
