Duration: 15:25

This video features Gun Owners of America (GOA) and New Hampshire representatives urging Governor Sununu to appoint a Second Amendment supporter to lead the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department. They argue that the current director, Norman Dole, has actively opposed pro-gun reforms and engaged in anti-gun activism, which is outside the department's statutory mandate. GOA emphasizes that the department is funded by gun owners through taxes like the Pittman-Robertson Act, making it ironic that it advocates for gun control. The speakers highlight New Hampshire's low violent crime rates and strong pro-gun sentiment, suggesting that appointing an anti-gun leader is politically unwise and a violation of constitutional rights.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is Gun Owners of America concerned about the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department leadership?

Gun Owners of America (GOA) is concerned because the current leadership, specifically Director Norman Dole, has allegedly opposed vital Second Amendment reforms like Constitutional Carry and has engaged in anti-gun activism, which GOA believes is outside the department's mandate and funded by gun owners.

What specific gun reforms has the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department allegedly opposed?

The department, under Norman Dole's leadership, is accused of opposing Senate Bill 12 (Constitutional Carry) and House Bill 1313, which would have allowed snowmobile and ATV riders to carry sidearms. They also opposed allowing loaded concealed guns in cars without a license.

How is the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department funded, and why is this relevant to GOA's concerns?

The department receives funding from state general funds and federal excise taxes on firearms and ammunition through the Pittman-Robertson Act. GOA argues that since gun owners contribute significantly to this funding, the department should not advocate for gun control measures.

GOA urges Governor Sununu to ensure that any nominee for the Director of the New Hampshire Fish and Game Department is a supporter of the Second Amendment, or at least neutral, and not actively working against the rights of hunters and law-abiding citizens.
