Citizens Count Issue Survey, 2018

Should NH pass stricter gun control laws?

"I believe it is the duty of our legislators to protect gun owner's Second Amendment rights, as well as the rights of the public to be protected from gun violence. I support common sense gun control policies & legislation; universal background checks; closing the loopholes in the background check system; and banning bump stocks and high capacity magazines; all with the goal of preventing needless gun tragedies, both suicide and homicide. I would support judicially issued extreme risk protection orders (ERPO's) that restrict a person's right to have firearms when a judge determines- based upon evidence from families, household members, or law enforcement officers, that it is in the best interest of the gun owner, and/ or the public, to temporarily remove a person's access to firearms when they pose a risk of violence to themselves or others. Such legislation and public protections would not impact responsible gun owners rights."
