Like we didn't see this coming.....

 

http://www.northjersey.com/news/state/134481193_Christie_opposes_handgun_leniency.html

 

opposes a push in Congress that would effectively override New Jersey's strict laws against concealed handguns, even though the state's entire Republican delegation in the House voted for it this month.

 

This is rich, it's all about States Rights, except when pushing for Federal AWB or Magazine limits;

"I believe that each state should have the right to make firearms laws as they see fit," Christie told The Record in July 2009. "I don't believe it's right for the federal government to get into the middle of this and decide firearms laws for the people of the state of New Jersey."

 

Rep. Scott Garrett, R-Wantage;

States do not have a prerogative to override any other amendments to Constitution, such as habeas corpus

 

And our Bergen County buddy;

 

[sen Lorreta] Weinberg, who for years has sponsored bills to ban handguns in New Jersey, countered that the Second Amendment does not grant a right to carry a concealed weapon.

 

"We're not talking about trained militia picking up guns and sending off the enemies, or someone defending their house," she said.

 

Gotta love how NJ still tries to hold onto how the 2A is about the militia.

-1 vote for christie!

Christie thought he was being slick by turning it into a "State's Rights" issue over a firearms issue. He didn't flat out say that he thinks CCW should be banned or opposes it, just that he feels it should be within a State's power to create it's own laws around it. He can fall back to either position ... when pro-gun rights people question him, he can turn it to a matter of State's Rights and how we have to change the State's laws to get CCW. With the anti's he can say that he was helping them out by giving his opinion on blocking CCW permit holders from other states the ability to carry legally in NJ.

Good point.

Fence sitting.

 

It's gonna be hard to pull that post of his a** later.

Big shock, NOT! That fat slob would sell us out if it got his corpulent arse advanced. If romney gets elected, usag christie will be happy to enforce a new awb.

I guess if he ran for President he would of been the minority on gun rights.

 

I am going to be voting with my feet next year.

We really need to get him to answer the question

 

"Are you willing to give up your State Police Escort, and be like the other unarmed 8 million NJ residents."

makes sense, he is backing Romney as prez....I like Christie, but i wish he was not backing a RHINO

that fat f**k Christie can swing on it and so can the rest of them!

until one of their family members gets robbed, held-up or car jacked, NOTHING will ever change for the f**kin libral a$$holes!

So would you rather have Corzine than Christie? I thought so.

Corzine is gonna be in jail soon!

I'd rather have a TRUE conserative as the Gov of NJ!

The one we have is as close as we're gonna get. UNLESS people wake up in this state, which ain't happenen.

The only way we will see CCW here in NJ is if the federal court orders NJ to do so. Don't count of Fat Boy to do it for you. he's just another in a long line of self serving politicans.

Somebody needs to tell that fat sack of crap that states do not have the power to strip the people of their individual rights and then **** when the federal government intervenes.

that fat f**k Christie can swing on it and so can the rest of them!

Uhhhhh, I don't know much about politics, but wouldn't a "conservative" be more apt to not want concealed carry and a "liberal" be more apt to allow it? Maybe I'm wrong.

Yes, you're wrong.

 

Liberals are generally anti-gun.

Hmmm... brush up on your politics, that's 101 level knowledge, and makes perfect sense.

 

Conservatives- Small government, Power to the people, less regulation, free market. Like the way our country was founded upon.

 

I'm not going to talk about liberals, i'll likely offend someone.

I'm offended by your unwillingness to possibly offend someone.

Please, offend away. They deserve it!

It's not hard to offend a liberal. Just tell the truth.

Fence sitting.

Not to mention the splinters it will leave.

Liberals are generally of the opinion that the government should provide everything, and that the government is not inherently evil, therefore there is no need for you to protect yourself.

 

Conservatives are of the opinion that you do most of the crud you need to do yourself. A tree falls down in the street, you clean it up. You don't have electric - you don't go to a shelter, you get your azz a generator and make your own power...

 

My take on it - feel free to take offense.

 

And if the typical aholes that just want to stir a crock pot of crap happen along on this post - I'm not gonna be responding to youse. It's my opinion - y'all can F-off if you don't like it.

Corzine is gonna be in jail soon!

The term "New Jersey Republican" is a term of usage invented by a political party, and in most cases, devoid of meaning.

Learn something new every day. Doesn't make sense to me, but thanks.

 

 

It sounds like you are mistaking the meaning when folks here use the word "liberal".

 

When the term "liberal" is used nowadays, we are not talking about classic liberalism and enlightenment-era ideals of open-minded thinking. We are talking about Progressive movement Liberalism (capital L), that has been around since the beginning of the 20th century. Two completely different methods of thinking.

 

The Founders of this nation were all classic liberals, for example.

I liked some of Christie's ideas but I'm sorry to hear of his position on CCL here in NJ.

Here we go again, back to Square 1.

 

Just met a long time friend the other day I hadn't seen in 25 yrs.....he has just retired from a local police dept. here in NJ after 20+ years and just finished qualifying for his carry permit which he got.....he mentioned to me that he now cannot carry hollow point ammo anymore since he's retired....then he laughed.

 

IMO.....the only way to win this is at the Voting Booth and make public the 2A positions of our future candidates. Do not be affraid to question them out right on their 2A Stance and CCL here in NJ.

Gotta love how NJ still tries to hold onto how the 2A is about the militia.

 

 

The 2nd Amendment is about the militia. The militia is the people. We, all citizens, are the people. Is this an unknown fact in New Jersey?

Next you are going to tell me that "well regulated" means protocols and standards, not a well stocked/armed force. As back in the day of the writing of the Constitution if some one was to say that the British had a well regulated army, that they meant they had a good supply of arms and other supplies.
