But the story comes with one more twist; all of these machinations may not produce the desired result for Christie. Some gun-rights advocates aren’t happy about it, including the head of the New Jersey Second Amendment Rights Society, who said he was “dumbfounded” that any Second Amendment supporter would consider Christie’s proposal a success.
New Jersey gets it on gun control in a way few other states do, no matter how often or loudly the gun advocates insist that the path to curbing gun violence is arming the populace to the teeth. Christie used to understand as well — he was first motivated to run for state office because he wanted to preserve a ban on assault weapons, even though he now claims to have forgotten all about it. |

Christie is an anti-gun RINO who's new found support for the second amendment is only because of his aspirations to national office. Don't expect any support for gun rights beyond token gestures, and if he ever did win national office it is likely his anti-gun viewpoint will prevail.
He is the only republican running for President that I will not vote for if nominated. I will vote for a libertarian or another party candidate before I would vote for him. I suspect that enough people share my viewpoint, that if he ever got the nomination it would throw the election to the democrats. |

| Gentlemen may cry, 'peace, peace'—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun! Is life so precious, or peace so dear, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! — Patrick Henry to the Virginia Convention on March 23, 1775. |
