A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.
Bad people are going to do bad things, plain and simple. If you make it harder for people to get guns they will start using knives; look at London. When looking into suicide rates, when the number of gun related suicides decreased it also increases in in other areas. Where there's a will, there's a way. Restricting freedoms in an effort to save lives is not the answer. The only way to save lives is by each of us taking a vested interest in our neighbors, firends, and even strangers, showing them love and support every day; letting people know we are there for them in good times and bad.
All types of firearms should be legal. Bad actors will always find a way to accomplish their pernicious act. Restricting the freedoms of many for the sins of a few is unconstitutional. Taxing of items the second amendment guarantees is also unconstitutional. A national, or state, gun registry, or data bank of any type that could connect citizens to gun ownership must never be created as it would be a threat to individual liberty, national security, and allow a bad actor, foreign or domestic, to easily identify targes for confiscation initiaves. Background checks can, and do, prevent criminals and dangerious individuals from purchasing a weapon. It is of the utmost importance we are able to protect ourselves and our families. Background checks should be instant, the algorythms 100% transparent, and the appeal process rapid starting at the local level, and escalating to state and federal levels only if appealed - which cannot be denied.
Suppressors and their effectiveness have been distorted by hollywood. Suppressors do not allow assassins to roam the streets and kill in public. Even the best suppressor today does not make a gun silent. At best, it reduces the noise level to where the person firing the gun does not blow their ear drums out if discharged without additional hearing protection. Suppressors help the user of a firearm protect their hearing, and help reduce the noise polution of local shooting ranges - making for happy neighbors. We need to make NH a supressor firendly state, regardless of what the FED or AFT say.
This is statistically undeniable. Bad actors choose targets based on anticipated outcome. Gun free zones are the most dangerious place in america to visit as the vast majority of mass shooting occur in gun free zones. A well armed community is a polite community. NH has one of the higest number of guns per capita in the country. NH is also one the safest places in the country with the fewest gun related crimes and homicides. For the most part - NH does well related to gun laws. We need to defend our 2nd amendment rights, regardless of what the FED or AFT say.
Here is a blanket question that can be applied to all of my views. Is it restrictive or liberating? If it's restrictive or burdensome, I'm most likley against it. Is it freeing or liberating, allowing a person the freedom to choose? I'm probably for it. There are only a few areas I think government could (possibly) be helpful: Defending our Freedom, and providing low interest capital for research, infrastructure projects, and education.
If we continue to allow public fourms like Facebook, Twitter, and Google to censor information, we will lose the ability to think critically.
Free, Speech
The right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed. Gun legslation that is in direct conflict with the Second Amendment needs to be nullified immediatly.
Save Lives
Legalize & Educate. I may not agree with your choice, but I will defend your freedom to choose. Through education, we can win the war on drugs and save precious lives.
Legalize it
Education, should be, the proud cornerstone of this country. Ultimately, competition in education will provide us with the smartest and most prosperous nation.
Get Smart
Clean, stable, energy production - sustainable fishing and farming and making sure our childrens children live on a diverse thriving planet should be the primary focus of environmental policy.
Save the Planet
We need to mind our own business, unless there is a threat to the US, or when an ally needs support and can show the citizens of that country financially support the request for help.
Help Those in Need
The Free Market, limited government intervention, transarent pricing, increased competition and Health Savings Accounts are the building blocks our health care system desperately needs.
Free, Healthcare
Infrastructure is an investment in our Nation. Cutting the "Red Tape" around infrastructure will accelerate innovation, increasing the standard of living while lowering the overall cost.
Build Bigger
Individuals may not always make inteligent decisions. But, to limit or outright prohibit individuals from investing or spending their hard earned dollars where they see fit is un-constutional.
Free our Finances
No harm, no crime is a good rule of thumb. We incarcerate too many people for doing something illegal like possessing a plant. It's time for a reform of the judicial system.
Get Real
Restrictive Legislation needs to support the views of the vast majority not a simple majority. My proposed "Live Free or Die Act" will help solve the partisan legislation issues we suffer from.
Live Free or Die
A country without national defense depends on other nations to keep it safe. It is in the best interest of this country, and the world, for America, the land of the free, keep maintain worlds strongest military.
Ensure Freedom
Government funding has proven to expidite innovation. In the 60's we invested 10% of our budget, in 2019 it was 2.8%. Together we need to agree on percent and allocation is best for our future.
Go Further
Education and Planning... We need to help younger people establish retirement funds early in life, and help the poor later in life through charity and philanthropy; not federal handouts.
Live Better
Government bonds can be used in appropriate ways. Deficit spending is a detriment to our nation. We need to control government spending and work agressivly to reduce the national debt.
Keep More
Welfare has been the single largest contributor to the oppression of Americans. In 2020 welfare programs were the largest part of the federal budget coming in at 24.2% of total spending.
Keep MorePart of the plan to reduce government spending is to increase philanthropy. We need to show the world we are ready to put our money hard-earned money and invaluable time towards causes we truly believe in. Only with a charitable heart will we be able to reduce our dependence on the government.

Instead of dinner out this week, how about investing in your future and the future of your family for generations. We can only make the changes we seek if we are activly pursuing them. Donating to get help a fiscally conservative, freedom loving, "you do you", candidate elected is one way you can help.
That's not a knock on sushi... you get the point. Instead of spending money on frivolous things like an electric massager for your dog, or that self winding yoyo. Spend your hard earned money to help elect someone who is trying to keep more of it in your pocket.
Donate NowAmerica does not need to be destroyed and re-created from scratch. What we need is to go back to the basics where life liberty pursuit of happiness are the focus; where government is small, taxes are low, and freedom to innovate and create are high. We need to put the power back in the hands of the people and take it from the federal government.
