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. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Some people think that the Second Amendment is an outdated relic of an earlier time. Doubtless some also think that constitutional protections of other rights are outdated relics of earlier times. We The People own those rights regardless, unless and until We The People repeal them. For those who believe it to be outdated, the Second Amendment provides a good test of whether their allegiance is really to the Constitution of the United States, or only to their preferences in public policies and audiences. The Constitution is law, not vague aspirations, and we are obligated to protect, defend, and apply it. If the Second Amendment were truly an outdated relic, the Constitution provides a method for repeal. The Constitution does not furnish the federal courts with an eraser." --9th Circuit Court Judge Andrew Kleinfeld, dissenting opinion in which the court refused to rehear the case while citing deeply flawed anti-Second Amendment nonsense (Nordyke v. King; opinion filed April 5, 2004) |
