Dear Members of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee, I am deeply concerned about HB159, which seems to be a reintroduction of last year's HB1711. This bill infringes on our Second Amendment rights by allowing firearm confiscation based on mental health proceedings without proper due process. It stigmatizes individuals seeking mental health support and sets a dangerous precedent for gun control. New Hampshire consistently has some of the lowest rates of gun crime in the nation. Please vote NO on HB159 to protect the rights of New Hampshire citizens. Sincerely, Michael Barretto
