Nobody knows. But one fact is beyond dispute: New Hampshire doesn’t have any of these laws. And New Hampshire has almost no gun crime.
New Hampshire has among the highest rates of gun ownership in the country– the second-highest number of guns per capita according to one survey.

Americans have the right and advantage of being armed ‑ unlike the citizens of other countries whose governments are afraid to trust their own people with arms.‑ James Madison

Fact Sheet: Guns Save More Lives than they Take.

June 20, 2022 Gun Owners of America

According to Gun Owners of America (GOA), guns are used 2.5 million times a year in self-defense by aw-abiding citizens to defend themselves against criminals. This means that each year, firearms are used more than 80 times more often to protect the lives of honest citizens than to take lives. Of the 2.5 million times citizens use their guns to defend themselves every year, the overwhelming majority merely brandish their gun or fire a warning shot to scare off their attackers. Less than 8% of the time, a citizen will kill or wound his/her attacker.

Among the many misdeeds of the British rule in India, history will look upon the act of depriving a whole nation of arms, as the blackest. ‑ Mahatma Gandhi

"The communist party must command all the guns, that way, no guns can ever be used to command the party." - Mao TseTung

The Constitution shall never be construed … to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms. ‑ Samuel Adams

He that hath no sword, let him sell his garment and buy one. ‑ the Bible, Luke 22:36.

A sword never kills anybody; it is a tool in the killer's hand. ‑ Lucius Annaeus Seneca, c. 4 B.C.-65 A.D.

⚰⚰⚰⚰ (Come and Take them) ‑ Spartans at Thermopylae⚰⚰⚰

After a shooting spree, they always want to take the guns away from the people who didn't do it. ‑ William S. Burroughs. From the World Health Organization: The latest Murder Statistics for the world: Murders per 100,000 citizens

"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."

– George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790

"No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms."

– Thomas Jefferson, Virginia Constitution, Draft 1, 1776

"What country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance. Let them take arms."

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to James Madison, December 20, 1787

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."

– Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774–1776

"The Constitution of most of our states (and of the United States) assert that all power is inherent in the people; that they may exercise it by themselves; that it is their right and duty to be at all times armed."

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to to John Cartwright, 5 June 1824

"On every occasion [of Constitutional interpretation] let us carry ourselves back to the time when the Constitution was adopted, recollect the spirit manifested in the debates, and instead of trying [to force] what meaning may be squeezed out of the text, or invented against it, [instead let us] conform to the probable one in which it was passed."

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to William Johnson, 12 June 1823

"I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence ... I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy."

– Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778

"To disarm the people...[i]s the most effectual way to enslave them."

– George Mason, referencing advice given to the British Parliament by Pennsylvania governor Sir William Keith, The Debates in the Several State Conventions on the Adoption of the Federal Constitution, June 14, 1788

"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."

– James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789

Side Note – at this time there was no formal militia. All able–bodied men were expected to come to the defense of their homeland. They were then considered the militia.

"Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves."

– William Pitt (the Younger), Speech in the House of Commons, November 18, 1783

“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."

– Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788

"This may be considered as the true palladium of liberty.... The right of self defense is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any color or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction."

– St. George Tucker, Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England, 1803

"What, Sir, is the use of a militia? It is to prevent the establishment of a standing army, the bane of liberty .... Whenever Governments mean to invade the rights and liberties of the people, they always attempt to destroy the militia, in order to raise an army upon their ruins."

– Rep. Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts, I Annals of Congress 750, August 17, 1789

"For it is a truth, which the experience of ages has attested, that the people are always most in danger when the means of injuring their rights are in the possession of those of whom they entertain the least suspicion."

– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 25, December 21, 1787

"[I]f circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow–citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist."

– Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788

"As civil rulers, not having their duty to the people before them, may attempt to tyrannize, and as the military forces which must be occasionally raised to defend our country, might pervert their power to the injury of their fellow citizens, the people are confirmed by the article in their right to keep and bear their private arms."

– Tench Coxe, Philadelphia Federal Gazette, June 18, 1789

"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."

– Samuel Adams

ALL the countries above United States have 100% gun bans —

Personally, I think 90% of people are missing the point. Some azzhole getting a gun is a problem but an unarmed public will become subservient to the politicians and everyone will 'be under the gun'.. It happens every time in history a free people let others control their lives.

It is not the individual we need to be worried about. There is always going to be somebody, a Hitler, a Stalin, a Mao, a Pol Pot, an AOC, an Omar and the fools that follow them. It is the idea that big government is going to 'take care of us' and 'make everything right' that we have to worry about. Government isn't a thing, it is us. I believe right now; it is this standing army of individuals with weapons; that stands between us and total tyranny. Get rid of the arms and people like the Clinton's and Pelosi's will will be the one's in control.

There are places where firearms are not allowed and only the authorities are allowed to have any and it is true there are virtually no deaths from firearms but prisons are supposed to be for felons, not the common people.

Remember "Fast and Furious?" The obama/Holder deal where they allowed guns to be purchased and taken to Mexico? Allegedly something about "tracking" killlers? No one was tracked and it's real reason was to CAUSE murders along the borders to give them an excuse to ban the sale of arms in the US. Our democrat illegal president and his attorney general.

Trump withdraws from UN arms treaty as NRA crowd cheers in delight

Fri 26 Apr 2019 14.53 EDT Last modified on Wed 5 Jun 2019 04.13 EDT

Donald Trump has announced that the US will withdraw its support for a United Nations treaty regulating the multi billion-dollar global arms trade.

“My administration will never ratify the UN arms trade treaty,” Trump said. “We’re taking our signature back. The United Nations will soon receive a formal notice that America is rejecting this treaty.”

Trump added: “Under my administration, we will never surrender American sovereignty to anyone. We will never allow foreign bureaucrats to trample on your second amendment freedom. I’m officially announcing today that the United States will be revoking the effect of America’s signature from this badly misguided treaty.”

Anomalies and Curious Facts Surrounding the Shooting in Uvalde, Texas

June 17, 2022 NBC, Jim Fetzer, CNN, et al.

We are publishing the following information with concern that those who advocate gun control will attempt to vilify us as conspiracy nuts who are insensitive to the tragic loss of life that has been reported. Nothing could be further from the truth. We decided to publish it because it reveals evidence that suggests the possibility that the event was elaborately staged to create increased demand for gun control and that no lives were lost at all. If further investigation should reveal that this is true, then censoring it would be an even larger mistake, because it would assist the perpetrators to remain hidden. Admittedly, this information cannot be called proof. But what is proof? There is no such thing as absolute proof. There is only evidence. When evidence accumulates to the point where the beholder is convinced that the speculation is true, then it becomes proof for that person. If the same evidence still leaves doubt in the mind of other observers, then it is not yet proof for them. But none of us will never able to have an informed opinion either way if evidence on one side or the other is denied to us. It is our firm belief that truth will ultimately prevail when all evidence is available for examination. It is for that reason that we have decided to pass along to you the following information. In keeping with that perspective, critical responses are welcome and will be published in Reader Comments below this report.

Summary by JW Williams

Uvalde, Texas: On May 24, 2022, Salvador Ramos,18, reportedly shot his grandmother in the face, crashed her truck into a ditch, shot at funeral-home employees and then entered Robb Elementary School and shot 19 children and two teachers to death.

The police-action timeline changed numerous times over the past few weeks. It was first reported that they waited outside the school for backup for almost an hour because they were afraid of being shot. However, the police walked back a number of narratives and made these corrections: the school door shut when the gunman entered, Ramos was not confronted by a school officer, Ramos was not barricaded in a room by police, Ramos was not wearing body armor, and a responding officer was reported to have saved his own child.

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/uvalde-shootings-evolving-narrative-are-details-police-walked-back-rcna31391

There are many discrepancies and unanswered questions. Nevertheless, the city said it will not release bodycam videos or other records before its investigation is complete – which likely will take a long time.

Democrats still believe guns are the most dangerous thing in America

Last year, 47,000 people died from guns.

AnnieOakley, · · Mar 2, 2023 · NottheBee.com

Some of these are lawful shoots involving self-defense and police force.
Over half were suicides, and a whopping 20% were young black men. In fact, 70% of all gun violence is perpetrated by black individuals, largely in inner cities, despite making up 14% of the population.
So if you aren't a young black male or suicidal, your chances of being killed are pretty dang low compared to all other causes of death in this nation.
A record 110,000 Americans died of fentanyl poisoning last year, as fentanyl manufactured in Mexico is flooding into our country. This is nearly as many lives — lost in 2022 alone — as the 116,000 Americans killed in World War I. Guns are worse than cancer!
For perspective, there were an estimated 1.9 MILLION new cancer cases in America in 2022, with over 609,000 projected deaths.
It's like you could hand a dollar and a thousand dollars to 35% of Dems and they'd think the single dollar has more value.
