Patriots in New Hampshire are fighting back against the anti-gun hysteria that has plagued our nation's colleges for years. The Granite State House voted 188-165 on Thursday to advance legislation that would prevent public colleges from banning lawful weapons on campus—a crucial step toward restoring constitutional rights that were stripped away in the emotional aftermath of the Parkland shooting.
This isn't just about guns, folks. This is about whether young adults have the same constitutional protections as every other American, or if they're forced to surrender their rights the moment they step foot on a college campus.
For too long, our universities have been anti-gun echo chambers where administrators think they know better than the Founding Fathers. These same institutions that preach about "safe spaces" have created the most dangerous spaces of all—gun-free zones where law-abiding citizens are sitting ducks for criminals who don't follow the rules.
Republicans Stand Up for Constitutional Rights
Republican lawmakers are rightfully arguing that this legislation simply restores rights that should never have been taken away in the first place. Why should a 21-year-old lose their Second Amendment protections just because they're pursuing higher education?
The original campus gun bans were nothing more than emotional reactions to tragedy—the kind of knee-jerk policy making that sacrifices liberty for the illusion of safety. As we've seen time and again, these gun-free zones don't stop determined criminals. They only disarm the good guys.
"Shall not be infringed" doesn't come with a college campus exception.
This move comes at the perfect time, as President Trump's second term continues to restore common sense to American policy. From the White House to state houses across the nation, conservatives are finally pushing back against decades of progressive overreach.
The question now is whether other states will follow New Hampshire's lead, or if they'll continue to treat young adults like second-class citizens who can't be trusted with their constitutional rights. Will your state be next to restore liberty, or will it cling to failed gun-grabbing policies?
