New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administration is proposing stricter rules for gun dealers – a move that is expected to be closely watched as Christie considers jumping into the 2016 GOP presidential contest.
The proposals were put forth by the state police department, and have been approved by acting state Attorney General John J. Hoffman. The rules would affect the approximately 377 licensed retail and registered wholesale gun dealers and manufacturers in the state. |

As a NJ resident, (and registered Republican) I will unequivocally state IMO Governor Christie is as crass and opportunistic as any politician that's ever been our misfortune to endure. And we've had/have a great many ! He jumped on the "anti-gun bandwagon" until hundreds of gun owners packed hearings in Trenton to express their displeasure with a litany of his proposed changes to NJ gun law. Then he vetoed the most unpopular with some glib excuses.
But NJ is "hoplophobe central" and it, (and NJ politician's careers) pivot on the Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson, Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer axis. And this axis swings presidential elections. Christie is as venal, opportunistic and mendacious as any NJ governor since Woodrow Wilson. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
