Correct. All knives are legal, but brass knuckles and slingshots are not.

What was wrong with stickying a documentary on a major news site that covers contentious NH news?

When was it abused?

Oh no, I want to comment in the comment area on a website. Such weird behavior to want to engage in discussions with other people in the appropriate place to do so.

>Gunstock

A ski resort owned by the state, freaked out when told they need to have more transparent finances and proper management, because they are millions in debt. Somehow that's the fault of freestaters because two of the people on the commission are freestaters? Remind me again why the state owns a ski resort?

>School boards

Take Croyden for example: Average schools are spending $9k/student. A freestater in Croyden tried cutting their $22k/student budget down to $10k. Still above average, and these are just elementary school kids in a one room schoolhouse, who despite high funding are having very poor scores. Somehow that's destruction by freestaters, even though it was majority NOT freestaters who voted in favor of it.

>Trash collection

You're referencing Grafton. Because lots of trash collection is privatized already, but there some local lady (not a freestater) was feeding bears like an idiot and therefore it must be trash collection problems caused by freestaters when the bear attacked.

I'm always open about it, most of us are. Politics and philosophy just dont come up in normal conversations for most folks. Going to come to one of our events then?

It's not really much of an admission when I'm completely open about that fact, now is it? Like I said, we're very active in building community. If you were more open minded, you'd consider coming to one of our events and seeing who we really are. They are on a public calendar afterall: FSP.org/calendar

We have well over 100 free staters elected right now. What part of the state is not working well that you'd like to blame on them?

Free staters have a handful of community centers in the state, run businesses that are pillars of their neighborhoods, and have weekly potlucks. They aren't miserable, they're enthusiastic, supportive and excited about the ideas of freedom. Anyone who knows them would agree.

So no source.

> Make it so that things don’t work well.

How's that working out for you? You think things are working better in Democrat or Republican controlled cities more? California or Florida?

As someone deeply imbedded in the Free State Project, how long before I can expect to figure out who these billionaires are? I've yet to meet them, and they certainly aren't sending any money to any of my projects. I'll happily accept a sponsor however.

>sending in carpet baggers

Actually you'll find freestaters of all walks of life. Plenty of us are blue collar, many are not wealthy at all. And we certainly aren't being "sent" to New Hampshire. Those of us in New Hampshire are asking for them to join us.

If you care about carpetbaggers, look to the progressives who actually have billionaires paying for people to move to NH to fuck up our politics. (Granite State Progress)

Sorens has given numerous talks on zoning and town planning. If you can look past the fact he is a freestater and look at his ideas he's actually very much overqualified for this position.

Barnstead was involved in that too?

Actually the title is incorrect. The bill is to legalize students who are underage and taking beer/wine making classes to allowed to taste the product they are making in class. Currently we have college students learning how to brew who cannot legally taste what they are making, which is an important part of the brewing process.

Yes, I see this all the time and have ranted to my coworkers about it. So much so that I looked up the laws to make sure I'm actually following the rules of the road. People will try and flag you through for no reason and even in such a way that would have you drive into oncoming traffic. It's absurd.

More like, trying to pad the numbers.

I went to an event about hate groups on the seacoast this fall where a police chief recommended that more people try and report crimes as hate crimes. Anecdotally I've not seen much evidence of hate groups in our state so I'm skeptical of any statistics surrounding these complaints.

I think I'm going to believe the comment from the other guy, because we all know the police lie.

I would care less that they had armored cars if they were honest about why they bought them and if we were allowed to have one too.

NH State does have near total control over hard liquor sales. Restaurants cannot even buy direct from a distillery!

Oh, damn I thought it went down. Excellent.

R's recently had control and didnt end abortion. Thankfully since the freestaters believe in body autonomy and they have a voting bloc there's little chance of abortion being outlawed here.

I dont think the Republicans having a plan matters so much to voters. Republicans and Democrats always end up being fairly similar in that way anyhow (Republicans also cause inflation through massive money printing). But most voters vote -against- issues, not for, and when the economy is bad people will vote against who they perceive as causing it.
