Told you Christie would cave

[Njgunowner 2]

I told you guys that no matter what he said previously, he was anti gun and would be wiling to pass new restrictions. I take this statement as him wanting other things as well, but he'd be more than willing to have new bans.

 

New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie ® on TODAY said that despite New Jersey having some of the toughest gun laws in the country, that banning guns is not enough. “I’m willing to have that conversation,” Christie said of a federal ban on powerful, high-capacity weapons, “but you’ve got to deal with these other issues.”

 

And who knows, maybe I'm reading to much into it but I don't trust him where guns are concerned.

Christie didn't cave. He is one of them. He is a RINO Republican and certainly not a conservative. Make no mistake.

time to get the letters going to the gov.

Usual Politico both ways talk........time will tell................no reason not to send him mass amounts of email/mail/fax/other though.

I think it's all in the context of who publishes the statements correctly. (Not the OP...the media)

 

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/01/09/chris-christie_n_2438743.html

 

In the linked article, it's worded a little differently. When pressed on why he couldn't answer whether he supports a ban on assault weapons, he said that it depends. "These are complicated issues," he said. "I'm willing to have that conversation."

 

I dug this comment from Christie - On "Today," Christie was asked about his 1995 call for a ban on assault weapons in New Jersey. He says it should be up to states to decide.

"If all we talk about is just controlling guns we're not doing enough," he said on "CBS This Morning. "We need to talk about mental illness ... and substance abuse."

 

 

Drug dealers and the mentally ill....

 

That's actually better than I expected from the other quote. He's a successful politician, so he's not going to say -- well, he's not going to say the same sort of things that I would say. Of course, I could never get elected to anything.

 

I think he must realize that if he signs on to this, New Jersey Governor will be the high point of his political career. He's on shaky ground with red state Republicans to begin with, and I think he has the ego to want to run for a national office. As a Republican.

[Njgunowner 2]

I don't trust the media either

 

My biggest worry with him is that he's trying to get re-elected here, and a good portion of NJ is seriously anti-gun and of those who aren't they only care about their bolt action hunting rifles and shotguns. If he wants a chance as president, he NEEDS to be re-elected in NJ.

[PDM 91]

If you actually listen to what he had to say, it is somewhat encouraging. He brushed off several questions and basically said "we'll see." That's a hell of a lot better than what Cuomo is doing. Christie is actually getting a fair amount of flack from the anti-gun crowd for not coming out and saying that we need more gun laws now. Before slamming him I think we need to see how this develops.

Considering our Governor's appetite for confrontation what make you think he wouldn't just wipe his ass with them.....probably during a Town hall, while wearing a pair of tighty whities with "Kiss It" emblazoned on it's rather substantial square footage.

obviously, norah o'dum dum has got to go on the C B S moran show.

check out how badly viewers dislike her on C B S's own link

http://www.cbsnews.c...peId=41&blogId=

 

as expected she was nasty to Christie

 

some of the stuff written

"She is unprofessional, rude, and astoundingly biased in her reporting. Have you ever noticed that when she interviews she 1) interupts, 2) gets a nasty look on her face, and 3) starts talking very quickly likes she's angry???"

[JackDaWack 2,895]

IMO this is his cop out. He's always trying to fly under the radar on this issue. He can say that he supports these issues with out actually doing anything that would compromise his future.

[Zell959 40]

He's still not our friend, but I don't know if those statements really suggest he has plans to actually go on the offensive. Really, it seems he's just sitting on the fence to avoid the issue hurting him, because it's unlikely he would see a net polical gain by pulling for either side.

 

I'm thinking we probably just need to make sure he gets regular letters, e-mails & calls from us to make sure he understands what it'll cost him to hop onto the wrong side of the fence.

[Tactical Monkey 51]

Watch the whole video segment, don't judge based off of the quotes posted in the articles. The way Christie responds to Matt's questions is much more than we can ask for. He had his chance to say "Yes, ban them all", but instead he pointed towards mental illness and substance abuse. That plays in our favor.

[remixer 1,645]

Relax i dont think its anything...

[Vlad G 345]

Just think how easy it would be to push him over the edge on our side if 1000 people made it Trenton on Feb 8th.

1,000? Why not 100,000? Aim high, brother.

"PUSH HIM BACK IN!!! HE'S DYING!!!"

[Parker 213]

He's becoming larger than life.

 

[Damjan 73]

I see him in a Boardwalk Empire type series set in the 21st century......only problem is that he wouldnt be able to walk on the boardwalk :):)

[Sivl32 27]

Needs to hit the treadmill. He is a bad representation of NJ and America.

I wouldn't plan on pushing him anywhere unless you are driving something with a caterpillar engine. Coming to the end of his first term I still don't know what to make of him.

Take this for face value...

 

Christie is in an election year. It would be really bold of him to sign off on anything that would piss off conservatives and gun owners in the state. I think he's being wishy washy because of the election year. I'm hoping he At LEAST keeps what we have in place and imposes no further gun laws. However I'd like to see many repealed.

You gotta figure he is running for reelection and maybe a presidential nomination in 2016. Of course he will be on the fence he wants every vote. Right now he has a 73% approval rating so what ever he is doing is working. I think if he wins his reelection bid you will see a more conservative Christie emerge should he decide to run for President. I personally think for a NJ Gov he is not that bad.

[Underdog 1,593]

As a prosecutor Christie weighed-in as an anti-gun elitist. Perhaps he will flop, or is it flip?

[quikz 34]

Remember the old rule. A NJ "Republican" is a wacked out utopianist nannyite govt control fetish masturbative dictatorial wanabe left winger in most of the rest of The Entire Country.

Oh yeah, we should totally trust him this time..i mean it's not like he ever screwed us over before...right???

[papercutninja 24]

Boy, that was what, 250lbs ago? He's totally changed, you guys.

[bulpup 98]

If he keeps talking the way he does and does not cave he could end up being "the guy that is nut a gun nut saying all the logical things we want".

 

Whatever he says as a governor after he decides will be far more of a guidon than anything Piers Morgan or Wayne LaPierre has to say.

 

I just hope he is for us.
