The Republican collapse in NH in the 1990s

[Brother Jonathan]

^ Wasn’t there a very pro-Second Amendment NH Democratic Party until, like, at least 2010?

Possibly.  As Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean had a 100% approval rating from the NRA.

Eh, yes and no. Dick Swett lost in 1994 largely because he voted for a bill to ban assault weapons, while Gov. Lynch really was pretty lax on guns (and signed a bipartisan bill in 2010 that eliminated basically all of the state's remaining regulations on knife ownership).  So the party was split before 2010 on the issue.
