We have recently received some complaints about our 2008 Primary Election Guide. This alert will clarify why State Representative Jason Bedrick (r- Windham and Salem) received a grade of F which means, "Sponsors & actively promotes legislation hostile to 2nd Amendment civil rights."
Many readers may remember our efforts to defeat HB1474 and HB1476 earlier this year. We fought these bills because we believed then, and still believe now, that they would have made it easier to close shooting ranges. We published several alerts on these bills. See:
http://www.nhfc-ontarget.org/2008Alerts/hb1474alert.html
http://www.nhfc-ontarget.org/2008Alerts/hb1476alert.html
http://www.nhfc-ontarget.org/2008Alerts/hb1476alertupdated.html
At the time State Representative Jason Bedrick (r- Windham and Salem) took great offense to our alerts and the direct mail we sent to his district. Rep. Bedrick clearly does not understand the program and clearly is not an informed supporter of Second Amendment Civil Rights. We recently released our 2008 Primary Election Guide, see:
http://www.nhfc-ontarget.org/Candidates08/PrimaryElectionGuide08.html
In addition to Rep. Bedrick's sponsorship and promotion of HB 1474, we were made aware of an article in the July 2008 Philadelphia Jewish Voice wherein Rep. Bedrick is quoted as saying:
"...if any firing range was doing damage to the environment, that they could be shut down temporarily, in order to clean up the problem..."
Rep. Bedrick is still standing by his "2008 Range Closure Act" saying that NHFC "totally misinterperted the bill."
The complete article can be read here: http://www.pjvoice.com/v36/36303bedrick.aspx
We were clear in January, the New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, Inc. will never agree to even the temporary closure or increased government regulation of any shooting range for any reason. Rep. Bedrick does not seem to understand this. Rep. Bedrick sent us a letter complaining about his grade of F. The grade of F was arrived at because of the article in the Philadelphia Jewish Voice, Rep. Bedrick's sponsorship and subsequent promotion of HB1474 and his 2004 candidate survey wherein he expressed support for such things as bans on ammunition magazines, civil liability for gun owners whose guns may be stolen and used in a crime. Rep. Bedrick also opposed Vermont Carry. To be sure that NHFC, Inc. properly understood his views, Rep. Bedrick sent us a detailed letter explaining them. We have reproduced both here so that firearms owners can decide if Rep. Jason Bedrick is a friend or foe of firearms ownership and use.
In conclusion, Rep. Jason Bedrick has earned his F.
