HB512 exempts firearms, accessories, and ammunition manufactured in New Hampshire from federal laws and regulations, including taxes, registration, and interstate commerce rules, as long as they remain within the state.
The New Hampshire State House of Representatives declared HB512 “inexpedient to legislate” on January 4, 2024 by a vote of 286 to 69. We have assigned pluses to the nays because this bill nullifies unconstitutional federal overreach and upholds the Second Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. According to Article VI, Clause 2, only federal laws aligned with the Constitution are valid, and Clause 3 binds state officials to uphold constitutionally protected rights. Nullification is a key tool to resist unconstitutional federal overreach, safeguarding state sovereignty and individual liberties.
