Gun restrictions pass NH Senate along party lines

CONCORD, N.H. – Three bills related to gun control were passed in the New Hampshire Senate on Thursday, all by a vote of 13-10.

Two of the bills were amended and will need to go back to the House of Representatives for concurrence.

House Bill 514 was amended to require a three-day waiting period for purchases of a gun, rather than the original bill that sought seven days.

House Bill 564 was also amended to require a public hearing before the school board on whether to adopt the enabling legislation which would allow school boards to limit guns in schools.

House Bill 109 was also passed on partisan lines to require background checks for all commercial firearms purchases.
