According to Firearm Chronicles
When New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu vetoed the red flag bill earlier this year, anti-gun activists had exactly one option remaining. They’d need to muster enough votes for an override.
Of course, overriding a veto is rarely an easy thing. The process is put in place for a reason–namely to put a check on the executive branch’s power–but they’re typically rare things by design. After all, the veto is the executive branch’s check on legislative power. Plus, since so many bills barely skate through the legislature, it’s unusual enough people will change their vote just to override a veto.
It doesn’t make much sense.
And yet, that was the anti-gunners last, best hope for this legislative session.
Well, things don’t look good for them.
rom increasing the minimum wage to allowing more small, renewable energy producers to sell electricity to utilities, lawmakers will have a final chance Wednesday to put their stamp on the tumultuous 2020 legislative session.
The House meets at 10 a.m. at the Whittemore Center on the University of New Hampshire’s Durham campus, while the Senate meets in Representatives Hall at noon to attempt to override Gov. Chris Sununu’s 22 vetoes, or more than a third of the legislation sent to his desk in the truncated session impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.
Democrats hold a majority in both the House and Senate, but do not have enough members for the two-thirds majority needed to override a veto. Consequently, there is only a very slim chance any of the vetoed bills will become law Wednesday.
