Legislation has been proposed in the New Hampshire state House that would ban state and local officials from obtaining or using certain “military weaponry” acquired from the Pentagon or other sources.
New Hampshire House Bill 407 — the Police Equipment and Community Engagement Act — would bar officials from possessing any military equipment “not readily available in an open national commercial market.”
The bill’s sponsor, State Rep. J.R. Hoell, clarified this further to mean over-the-counter availability,according to the Tenth Amendment Center.
