An Alert from the Gun Owners of NH
PLEASE ATTEND A PRESS CONFERENCE IN CONCORD, NH ON TUESDAY 1:00 PM TO TELL OUR LEGISLATORS TO OVERRIDE GOVERNOR LYNCH’S VETO OF SB 88, THE MUCH NEEDED “NO MORE ‘WARD BIRD’ INJUSTICE” BILL.
Our very own Governator, John Lynch, is still trying to prevent NH citizens from having a strong, pro-self defense bill to prevent more travesties of justice, ala “Ward Bird”. He held a press conference on Tuesday, September 6 to again tell NH why self defense should be left to Cops and Bureaucrats only.
At 1:00 PM that same Tuesday, we need to send a counter message: SB 88 protects OUR right to self defense: Override the Governor’s veto, and PASS SB 88 NOW! Vermont, Arizona, Alaska, and Wyoming have all strengthened their defenders with this protection — We owe it to ourselves to do the same.
Firearms owners and others need to make it clear that self defense is a right for ALL of us, including defense with a firearm. We need SB 88 to help protect defenders against elitist prosecutors, whose only concern is maintaining the state’s monopoly on the use of deadly force in self defense.
Remember: The U.S. Supreme Court has said police have no obligation to protect you specifically, but only the public at large (109 S.Ct. 998, 1989).
That means if you are in a self defense situation that requires deadly force, the only person responsible for wielding it is YOU. Given that fact, your lawful use of deadly force should be protected against malicious, politically motivated prosecution.
On Tuesday, September 6, at 1:00 PM at the LOB (Legislative Office Building) in Concord, NH, let your Reps, Senators, Governor, and elitist bureaucrats hear from their electorate: We want the SB 88 veto overridden, and we want SB 88 passed NOW!
Please attend the rally at the LOB tomorrow, at 1:00 PM, and please contact your State Reps and your State Senator, and tell them you expect them to support the SB 88 self-defense bill, by overriding the Governor’s veto of SB 88. As always, be polite, but firm. We need this bill. The NRA supports it. GONH supports it. Our legislators should, too, so tell them that.
The Governor ignored our demands for a strong, pro-self defense law to prevent future “Ward Bird” tragedies, so now it’s time raise our voices in our state capitol, Concord, for all to hear.
