New Hampshire has made a new law allowing citizens to use guns and other deadly weapons to protect themselves against an attacker wherever they feel publicly threatened. Although this law was passed, it was vetoed when it reached Governor John Lynch.
The House of Representatives had overridden this law and will go into effect on November 15, 2011. Three out of the five people that have been interviewed on this topic say that it is going to raise violent crime and give gangsters an excuse to use deadly weapons. Although the other two people that were interviewed on this major state topic say that this law that has been passed in other states has not raised violent crime at all, if anything, and the gang members that do use this law as an excuse will just eliminate other gang members and make living standards better for the average citizen.
Mr. Nadeau, one of the social studies teachers at Hopkinton High School says, “The current law we already have is working perfectly fine. Protect or leave. With this other law that says we no longer need a permit to carry a Concealed Weapons, License is going to completely change the way this state has been working.” This basically means that they are almost giving us absolute freedom. Every society in the history of the world has recognized, that with absolute freedom you get chaos.
To some, this new law shows that we have become civilized, we hope, we won’t just kill each other when we get the chance. To others, this just represents the amendments we have as a free country.
