Already legal under the NH Constitution, there's no exception for felons. But, the NH Supreme Court justices cannot read very well, probably because they went to government schools, so...

Only if it’s a gun charge
Edit: they should only be able to get guns if it WASNT a gun charge

This is why we don't get invaded and other countries spy on us remotely from far away. Live free or dye your hair funny colors and get a bunch of tattoos.😂😂

There is not a house in America that is close enough to a highway at the exact same time several hundred tractor trailer trucks all crash with the same containers of toxic shit See my point?

Even if the bill passed it would be ineffective because the federal regulations banning convicted felons from owning firearms take precedence. Also, lying about ones criminal history on a Form 4473 it itself a felony.

Exactly. What was the point of them sitting in prison for X years if you’re just going to turn it into a lifetime punishment designed to make them fail?

Jason Gerhard is a living example of someone who really shouldn’t own guns but would legally be allowed under this bill. Technically a nonviolent crime until you peel away the tax fraud conviction to show that he was arrested with pipe bombs that he was planning on using as IEDs against police arresting the Browns. The only reason he is currently out of prison is the feds changing mandatory minimum sentencing around explosives. He is basically a living gotcha for his own bill, an contrived set of circumstances seemingly designed to argue that his own bill is a bad idea.
The only way I could come up with a stronger argument against his proposed bills would be to target the absolutely batshit proposed three strikes rule for violent crimes, in which someone could kill two people and still legally be allowed to own guns.

I mean let's be honest, it wasn't much of a standoff
The house was never surrounded, shots were never exchanged, they were literally letting supporters in and out of the house freely the whole time

Ignoring the specific charges he got, I would think that he should not constitutionally be able to hold office at all. His direct aid to the Browns in their standoff in my mind should fall under section 3 of the 14th amendment, which prohibits anyone who attempts to rebel against the federal government, or provides aid to rebels, from federal or state legislatures. He didn’t built bombs because he was getting monetary kickbacks, he did it for batshit ideological reasons, the Browns by their own words thought they were leading a militia movement against a corrupt government, so I would think that it would apply in theory.
Practically, not sure that this should apply to a conviction of aiding tax fraud.
