Chris Christie Is A Gun-Grabber

We’ve landed on a revelation concerning Chris Christie.
“What role does the media play in terms of the violence we see on television and the movies? And the violent video games that I think desensitize our children to the real effects of violence. So I think we have to have a national discussion,” said Christie on New Jersey 101.5fm’s “Ask the Governor,” a monthly call in show.
When asked if gun control was an issue as well, Christie said “gun control absolutely has to be part of that discussion too.”
Christie said New Jersey has the second toughest gun laws in the nation, behind New York. “I’ve been a supporter of that as governor and will continue to be,” he said.
Jumping on the bandwagon, is he? Or not.
In his first campaign for elective office in 1995, Christie based his bid for the state Assembly on supporting New Jersey’s assault-weapons ban.
Christie is a gun-grabber from way back. He has Presidential aspirations. But he will never be President because he doesn’t believe in the second amendment. Well, in addition to the fact that he is a loud mouth blowhard.

Not my impression, but Christie is more of a talker than anything else, I’d not be surprised he’s grossly ignorant on this topic. NJ’s gun law method is that everything having to do with guns is illegal, except for a list of exceptions. NJ has a de jure ban on citizen concealed carry, much of Upstate NY has de jure shall issue. NJ has e.g. weird restrictions on hollow points, I’m not aware of anything like that in NY. NJ’s “assault weapons” ban goes down to .22LR rifles with tubular magazines. I think it’s more difficult to get a long gun in NJ, although I’m not sure.
Heck, get out at a gas station in Update NY and aside from the accents it feels like part of the Midwest. Get out at a gas station in NJ and they’ll rush up to you to tell you you can’t pump your own gas….
