AT TWO RECENT State House hearings on gun control bills, a new group called the Hannah Dustin Defense League has been handing out fliers opposing the regulation of guns in public buildings.
The women's group is a mix of concerned citizens and organizations, including the Second Amendment Sisters, Sword Forum International and Pro-Gun New Hampshire. The group is named after Hannah Dustin, the New England colonist who was captured by Indians, then escaped by killing her captors.
The organization was created within the last month specifically to oppose a recently instituted ban on guns in the State House. It plans to actively oppose other pieces of anti-gun legislation, such as bills that would ban the open carry of firearms in a public building.
"It is our hope this coalition will be short-lived and unnecessary in the near future," the group wrote on its website.
Laura Jones, a home schooling mom in Rochester and a member of the group, said the goal is to demonstrate that a "gun-free zone is a killing zone," since any criminal can attack without resistance.
