I love the use of the study to subvert this gun control bill. I guess the authoritarians didn't like that double dose of their own medicine.
Note also that this is a pro-gun control newspaper. So they're crying the blues over this.
How did that happen in New Massachusetts?
Criminals purchase and carry (ccw) guns without the hassles of background checks, permits and permission from the ruling class.
It’s high time law abiding citizens did the same.
“How did that happen in New Massachusetts?”
NH gun owners fought like the devil. And won. The grabbers will be back of course, but for now they’ve been beaten back.
Gun politics is a lot of the reason why I’m actually optimistic about the potential for conservatives to achieve victory. Gun rights groups seem to have figured out the “secret sauce” and are winning. In spite of the uniparty and it’s stooges.

The Massholes moving into NH and Vermont are going to ruin them.

“The Massholes moving into NH and Vermont are going to ruin them.”
They’re trying. But the fine folks in NH are giving them a fight, and they won this round. Seems to me that people working on other aspects of the conservative agenda could learn a thing or two from the gunnies.
...the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed....
Yup. Unfortunately the pukes that want to see us all living in a workers paradise aren’t fond of the idea of peasants being armed.
Armed citizens are hard to “ transform “ into peasants.

The Democrats that are saying "they'll be back" may not be back after the next election, unless they happen to be from one of the liberal enclaves.
When are Republicans going start telling voters that Democrats want to disarm them and take their rights away ?
The folks mentioned in the article are well known Democratic political activists. For example, New Castle Promise, which Melissa Rigazio claims to represent, appears to be one of Bill Duncan's projects. He ran against Chris Sununu in 2012 for Executive Council as a Democrat. Mr. Sununu won and is currently serving on the Executive Council.
Whether it is defending teacher unions, or publishing Democratic and "Progressive" talking points, there are many activist organizations who have their sights set on New Hampshire. Many of them apparently draw funds from out of state, and are home to a variety of Democratic candidates, staffers, and leftists of all sorts.
New Castle Promise looks like a recently erected web site, its main page cites Granite State Progress:
"Granite State Progress is a progressive advocacy organization that addresses issues of immediate state and local concern. Granite State Progress works as a communications hub for the progressive community to provide a strong, credible voice in advancing progressive solutions to critical community problems. "
Granite State Progress is made up of various Democratic staffers and union executives. Its staff includes the former president of the NH teachers union, and the president of the NH AFL-CIO among others.
The last Republican presidential candidate would be included in that group.
Also I doubt any main stream media outlet would report on a Republican defending the rights of citizens unless they could twist the statement around to use it to support their political goals.

WE WON!!! HB 1589 is DEAD! - FEBRUARY 12, 2014
We did it!!! I am happy to report, that earlier today, after several votes in the New Hampshire House of Representatives, HB 1589 (as amended) was voted inexpedient to legislate (ITL) by a division vote of 242-118.
There were some nail biting moments when the committee amendment to make sell a gun to a friend go to jail (HB 1589) less anti gun passed and then again when an amendment offered by pro-firearms advocate, Rep. JR Hoell to create a committee to study why New Hampshire is one of the safest lowest crime states to live in passed. However, ultimately, HB 1589 was properly voted ITL.
We could not have achieved this stunning victory without you, the grassroots gun owners.
You went up against well funded out of state interest groups who are determined to make New Hampshire as hostile to gun owners as New York or New Jersey. Even though our opponents are well funded, you, the law abiding, peaceable firearms owners are even more determined to keep your freedoms. New Hampshire is a beacon of freedom in the Northeast. Your phone calls, emails and letters were able to overcome some slick New York City based community organizers.
“Armed citizens are hard to transform into peasants.”
Heh, heh, heh. Yeah. And the anti-gun politicians don’t like that one bit. Because if you think about it, all the other rights flow from the RKBA.
