Uh oh! Let's hope that his national political ambitions prevent him from changing his stance that we don't need any new gun laws.

[NJCK 5]

Anyone know if it's going to be covered on local TV broadcasts or stream live on the web? I'm mobile today and want to watch.

[Steve_G 51]

I'm hoping it has to do with getting the money for Sandy relief.

[BOOMSTICK 6]

I'm not too sure it will be about guns. I'm thinking it's possible this might be about Sandy funds.

[papercutninja 24]

They DID just pass the funding for the rebuilding...

[mx597turbo 0]

Not the focus of the conference, but he will probably mention that public pension funds grew 13% in 2012.

Usually is a live stream on the govs website.

[silverado427 10,778]

It might be about the sand dunes on the beach.

I'm hoping it has to do with getting the money for Sandy relief.

this. I hate to say it but ss sandy has kept us from diving head first into gun control. The state is in trouble right now.

[Arbelest 29]

Announcing his 2016 campaign early I see.... On a more serious note besides the web site (http://nj.gov/governor/index.shtml ?) Any televised ways of viewing it maybe NJTV?

[dgstinner 11]

I'd have to agree that the news conference will be about Sandy relief finally being passed last night.

Christie to hold press conference on gun violence

Governor Christie will hold a press conference and panel discussion this afternoon to talk about gun violence and violent crimes.

The governor’s office announced the press conference, which is scheduled for 2 p.m., this morning. It will be accompanied by a panel discussion featuring representatives from the criminal justice, mental health and substance abuse communities, a source tells The Record.

At a town hall-style meeting in Manahawkin yesterday, Christie said he would have something to say about gun violence by the end of this week. He said mental health and violent video games must be part of any discussion about gun violence. Talking only about gun control would be “missing the point,” he said.

“It’s about violence control,” Christie said. “What do we do about the sales of these video games? What are we going to do about substance abuse and treatment?”

The press conference comes a day after President Obama announced plans to curtail gun violence nationally. He proposed stricter gun control, a better mental health care system and more comprehensive background checks.

The Governor’s comments will come a day after President Obama laid out his gun control proposals at a White House ceremony. He told a questioner at Wednesday’s town hall meeting in Manahawkin that assault weapons have been banned in the state for 21 years.

Christie said New Jersey has the third-toughest gun laws in the country, behind New York and California.

New Jersey requires background checks in private gun sales and bans ammunition magazines that can hold more than 15 rounds. President Barack Obama has proposed a 10-round limit nationally.

In a series of TV interviews last week following his State Of The State address did not directly answer whether he would support a federal assault weapon ban and believes that the gun control debate should include the mental health system, improving access to drug treatment and the impact of violent video games. He resisted Today Show host Matt Lauer’s attempt to pigeon-hole him into a straight up “yes or no” answer about a ban on assault weapons calling such an attempt “political” during a short interview.

[e80hydro 120]

It is good. It's about time someone with balls wants to talk about the whacked out gamers hopped up on Adderall and energy drinks.

[NJCK 5]

Will it be on any radio stations?

 

101.5 may have the audio stream running broadcast. They're going to carry it on their website for sure.

[H.M. Murdock 0]

There's a hostage situation on the major news channel

 

I'm going to watch on the web I guess
