New Hampshire Bill Would Victimized Women If They Stand & Fight An Attacker
Hb135 Is Not A Bill Of Equality.
Second Amendment Sisters
Concord, NH - -(Ammoland.com)- HB135 is not a bill of equality.
It looks to change a law that has not caused anyone harm. It looks to change the playing field to be in favor of the criminal and lessen the rights’ of women to not be victimized.
The prime sponsor was quoted as saying it is OK for women to defend themselves at home, but not on the street. We bear the burden to try and run from our assailants. If we do not, if we choose instead to protect ourselves or our children, in the court of law we have to prove we could not get away. The prosecution has no burden to prove otherwise.
Faced with a criminal intent on rape, robbery or kidnapping our children WE are faced with the choice to do what we must to save ourselves or our loved ones, knowing that we will be the ones in court. Being victimized a second time by the judiciary system that tells us we have to prove we could not escape.
That is wrong and takes us back to a time when women were not considered equal, but property under the law. This is not the right message to be sending, and we refuse to sit back and allow our elected officials to take away our right to life in favor of the criminal without a fight.
When you vote on Wednesday a green button vote of yes on the motion of OTP is a vote to empower the criminals in the State of New Hampshire. We implore you to consider the effect of your vote on our lives, do not let us become victims of the criminal first and if we survive, then victims of the judiciary system second. Vote NO on HB135 and preserve the right of all New Hampshire women, the basic human right to self-defense.
Respectfully, this letter is submitted on behalf of the Second Amendment Sisters’ New Hampshire Membership.
