(<em>Photo: New York Times<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n<p>It\u2019s a perennial question: do cities have the right to pass gun control laws that contradict those of the state?<\/p>\n<p>A growing number of state legislatures are saying, \u201cNo,\u201d and adding hefty penalties for those that do. Now it looks like New Hampshire is set to join them.<\/p>\n<p>A <a href=\"https:\/\/gencourt.state.nh.us\/bill_status\/billText.aspx?sy=2018&amp;id=1548&amp;txtFormat=pdf&amp;v=current\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-hampshire-state-local-gun-law\" title=\"Fight Brewing in New Hampshire Over State vs. Local Control of Gun Laws\">new bill<\/a> would allow fines of up to $5,000 to be levied against town or city officials who try to push local ordinances that oppose state laws, according to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bostonherald.com\/news\/local_coverage\/2018\/01\/new_hampshire_towns_trigger_gun_fight\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-hampshire-state-local-gun-law\" title=\"Fight Brewing in New Hampshire Over State vs. Local Control of Gun Laws\">Boston Herald<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The bill mentions two instances, though proponents say there are many more. In the first, the town of Milford banned target shooting on a 270-acre piece of town-owned land that residents had been using to practice their marksmanship. Despite the fact that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cabinet.com\/news\/cabinet-news\/2017\/04\/20\/hearing-held-in-milford-to-discuss-target-shooting-at-brox\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-hampshire-state-local-gun-law\" title=\"Fight Brewing in New Hampshire Over State vs. Local Control of Gun Laws\">no one had ever been injured<\/a> on the land, city officials deemed it too dangerous for residents to continue shooting there.<\/p>\n<p>In the second instance, the Lebanon School Board prohibited firearms on school property or at school events on non-school property.<\/p>\n<p>Both actions are clear violations of the law, proponents of the bill say, because New Hampshire is not a \u201chome rule\u201d state, meaning that state law always preempts local law.<\/p>\n<p>One of those proponents and the bill\u2019s sponsor, Republican state Rep. J.R. Hoell, says an increasing number of local officials are thumbing their nose at state policies.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt seems to be getting worse,\u201d Hoell told the Boston Herald, adding, \u201cHow would you feel if all of a sudden Lebanon said the First Amendment doesn\u2019t apply? We don\u2019t do this with any other Constitutional right.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>SEE ALSO:<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/blog\/new-hampshire-goes-constitutional-carry\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"new-hampshire-state-local-gun-law\" title=\"Fight Brewing in New Hampshire Over State vs. Local Control of Gun Laws\"> New Hampshire Goes Constitutional Carry!<\/a><\/h2>\n<p>\u201cWe have elected officials breaking the law because there are no penalties. This bill corrects that by adding penalties, like we would for any other law,\u201d Hoell continued. \u201cIf we\u2019re going to put laws on the books, we expect them to be obeyed. If there are penalties for citizens, there should be penalties for elected officials.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The New Hampshire legislature is controlled by Republicans, so Hoell\u2019s measure has a good chance of passing. But that hasn\u2019t stopped anti-gun legislators from pursuing their own agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Democratic state Rep. Delmar Burridge is pushing for more gun restrictions at the state level, dismissing his Republican colleagues as \u201cPistol Pete\u201d vigilantes and \u201cgoofy knuckleheads\u201d who think the other side is always out to take their guns away.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey think they\u2019re better shots than the cops are. I call these guys \u2018Walter Mitty\u2019 iterations \u2014 they think they\u2019re heroes,\u201d Burridge told the Herald.<\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s got his work cut out for him.
