John A. Burt (R-Goffstown) and I both serve in the New Hampshire House of Representatives. He has many good qualities, and he is far from the worst member of that august body. Indeed, he is much better than average. He works hard, he sponsors an annual hot dog roast, and he keeps his floor speeches under five minutes in length.
This summer (2013) he put out a rather odd video. He went out in a backyard (probably his own), clad in baggy basketball shorts and a pink polo shirt. He fires an AK-47 and a 9-mm pistol, while giggling giddily about "cool shooting."
The video gets even odder at the end. He displays the text of the Second Amendment ("A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.") for several seconds. (We are apparently supposed to infer that Rep. Burt is a well regulated militia.)
And then, if you let the video run all the way to the end, three adorable little children (dressed in Christmas red) appear to proudly proclaim that "Grampy made this!"
