Among the topics: Christie's support for the Second Amendment. New Jersey has some of the strictest gun laws in the nation, but Christie, who ran his first campaigns for local office defending the state's assault weapons ban, blamed a Democratic legislature for the state's current laws, and said he'd vetoed recent attempts to limit gun owners' rights.
"Listen, I know that there's a lot of perceptions about my view on gun rights because I'm from New Jersey and because the laws are the way they are," he told the crowd. "We'll just have to explain that to folks over the course of time." |

In other words, he likes NJ's tyrannical laws just fine the way they are, and doesn't see a need to make them worse.
Well, I guess that means if I had to choose between the governors of Colorado, New Jersey, and New York for my next president, Chris Cringle and his bowlful of jelly-belly might be the least objectionable option.
However, in the real world, we have better choices. |

Christie's new found support for the second amendment is only because he has aspirations for national office.
I trust him as much as I trust Hillary Clinton on gun rights.
He is the only one of the dozen or so candidates for the Republican presidential nomination that I would not vote for. I would throw my vote to a third party candidate or stay home before I would vote for him. |

TO REMEMBER |
| For, in principle, there is no difference between a law prohibiting the wearing of concealed arms, and a law forbidding the wearing such as are exposed; and if the former be unconstitutional, the latter must be so likewise. But it should not be forgotten, that it is not only a part of the right that is secured by the constitution; it is the right entire and complete, as it existed at the adoption of the constitution; and if any portion of that right be impaired, immaterial how small the part may be, and immaterial the order of time at which it be done, it is equally forbidden by the constitution. [Bliss vs. Commonwealth, 12 Ky. (2 Litt.) 90, at 92, and 93, 13 Am. Dec. 251 (1822) |
