Some of the class’s components are sure to push for ever-stricter measures. More surely, an inherently abusive campaign of racial profiling itself guarantees deadly friction. One of these days,
Read MoreSununu vetoes 3 gun bills, citing NH’s ‘culture of responsible gun ownership, individual freedom’
A Republican who is not joining the wrong chorus. We already have “common sense gun laws”. It is our Second Amendment. In our Bill of Rights. The very definition of common sense. Gov. Chris Sununu on Friday vetoed three bills that advocates said would have added “commonsense” protections for Granite Staters against gun violence but

These laws, also called “extreme risk protection orders,” allow courts to issue orders allowing law enforcement to
