NH: Tempers flare after House passes gun background check bill again
It was a dramatic 15 minutes on the House floor Thursday afternoon.
First, the House likely picked a fight with the Senate by voting overwhelmingly to revive and send back to the Senate a gun background check bill senators tabled last week. This time, the House attached it to one of the Senate’s priority bills, which would put $40 million toward a new prison.
Moments after the House vote, the bill’s sponsor confronted another House member for allegedly yelling “liar” at him while he was speaking.
Rep. Terry Roy, the Deerfield Republican who sponsored the bill that would add some mental health records to gun background checks, responded to questions from the Bulletin via text messages after the House resumed its work.
