Our far right legislators love to talk about how much they hate big government. Big government imposes its will on the people, big government takes away the voice of towns, cities, and states. Yesiree, Bob, they hate Big Gummint — until they love it.

By the time you read this, there will have been a hearing on HB 1749, a bill that would remove the right of New Hampshire cities or towns to establish their own gun ordinances. Your town doesn’t want target shooting on town land? Your city doesn’t want guns on town property? Tough luck. The libertea gundamentalists are going to eliminate local control, and give that control to the state. That’s right — the same state they complain about all the time.
