Oh, but “This is not a Birther Issue…”. Uh, sure, New Hampshire Legislators…
The Huffington Post
A group of New Hampshire lawmakers asked the state attorney general’s office Tuesday to investigate whether President Barack Obama meets the eligibility requirements to appear on the state’s ballot, after their previous attempt to remove his name from the ballot was rejected in November.
Republican state Reps. Laurence Rappaport and Carol and Lucien Vita, say that Obama is not a natural-born citizen because his father was Kenyan. “This is not a birther issue, not a consideration of where Mr. Obama was born,” Rappaport said, according to the New Hampshire Union Leader. “Our concern is only if he is a natural-born citizen.”
The Congressional Research Service wrote in 2011, “There is no provision in the Constitution and no controlling American case law to support a contention that the citizenship of one’s parents governs the eligibility of a native born U.S. citizen to be president.”
Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii in 1961. The White House released the president’s long-form birth certificate in April after his campaign released a scanned copy. Some, however, refuse to believe the veracity of the document.
The attorney general’s office doesn’t plan to respond. “There’s no request in it,” said Associate Attorney General Richard Head, according to the Concord Monitor. “I honestly can’t figure it out.”
New Hampshire Democratic Party Chairman Ray Buckley said it showed how “crazy town” has taken over the statehouse.
The New Hampshire Ballot Law Commission rejected an effort in November led by the group’s attorney, “birther queen” Orly Taitz, to remove Obama’s name from the ballot. After the commission unanimously rejected the effort, members in the crowd shouted “Traitors!” and “Shame on you!”
Assistant Attorney General Matt Mavrogeorge and Assistant Secretary of State Karen Ladd locked themselves in an office and called authorities because they feared for their safety, saying that crowd members were banging at the door and yelling. The state attorney general has asked state police to investigate the incident.

Makes me SOOO proud to be from NH.
Other greatest hits from the Republican-led Legislature include passing a bill that would prohibit colleges from banning firearms on campus, rendering voluntary concealed-carry permits for handguns, and permitting the carrying of loaded rifles and shotguns in vehicles.
So, just to clarify, you’ll have to have a license to cut someone’s hair for public safety reasons (they did not pass a bill making that optional) but not to carry a Glock into a frat house.
When the U S goes completely belly up, and chaos is the order of the day, you will be thankful there are people like me who will put their life on the line to help you stay safe. Without firearms for self protection we are all sitting ducks. You have been brain-washed by the media whores.

Whatever…dealing with pontificating zealots is not my strong suit.
Ummmm … no.
First of all, loons who expect that the world is going to fall apart are inherently dangerous. So, no, I’d rather not rely on you for protection.
More than that, I’m not necessarily against private gun ownership. But you have to admit that it’s silly to restrict barber shops more strictly than handguns.
If someone gets a license and wants to carry a weapon, that’s fine with me. But I think that taking away licensing requirements, and loosening gun restrictions on college campuses, is a recipe for disaster.
Not too long ago, UNH students were burning couches in the road every time the Wilcats won a game, lost a game, or otherwise existed. Is that the crowd we want to have toting guns?
