This is what we need to pay attention to. The Democrats making gun control an election issue next, Barbara Buono may not have the money, but the Democrat machine infamously runs on social issues, not real issues that the Government should be doing in the first place. So it's important to keep an eye on what they are doing and saying.

 

Today President Obama's gun safety proposals will include a new federal assault weapons ban, background checks of all gun buyers, and a ban on high-capacity magazines. There is no denying the importance of federal fire arm laws, as what is illegal in one state may be readily accessible in a near-by state without federal legislation.

 

If whoever the Dem nom for Gov can make an issue of guns with Christie and force him into some awkward moments

While Christie is no buddy to use, he is what is standing between us, and NYS.

Maybe that do nothing cory booker will pick up the cause that he thinks may propel him into the next obama.

Mark my words. I am a psychic.

 

The problem with NJ is that with tight gun control laws, they make the sport difficult for folks to participate in.

Also with gun stores going out of business & lack of access to public shooting ranges nearby, it's easy to see why the public are not interested in gun rights. Women may not be as interested in hunting but they are interested in self defense & target sports.

 

Solution? Open up more public gun ranges in NJ

I just cut Christie a letter through his site.. maybe everyone should do the same..

With respect to gun control, Obama couldn't even become the next Obama until November 7th, when he became a lame duck president.

 

I'm guessing that there were as many single-issue voters about guns who stayed home November 6th as there were single-issue Sandra Flukes who voted. Cuomo just committed political suicide as far as national office, IMO. He doesn't think he did, but he did. With the exception of Cory Booker, most of the Northeast and West Coast Democrat politicians don't seem to understand firearms owners' demographics. If Buono wins the nomination, it will probably mean that the Democrats have abandoned all hope of winning the down-ticket races, or at least enough of a hope to avoid a bloodbath. And at this point, I don't think they have.

 

If Christie and Booker thought supporting gun control was in their political interests, you couldn't keep them away from the microphone.

Christie held a conference today at a church in Manahawkin to go over sandy issue's, some older woman brought up using money from hunting licenses to create more gun control laws, she was going on and on Christie stopped her and explained to her that gun control was not the issue as much as mental health issues and implementing the gun laws already on the books. It was really good to hear he was kind of telling her off with his words..

Also sent Christie a letter asking him to veto any new gun law crap from NJ Assembly and Senate. Reminded him that when wants to be reelected I could vote for him, Dem., 3rd party or 'none'. I would say he needs us to stay Gov. and we do have some leverage.

 

Then sent a copy of same letter to every Assembly and Senate fool that is proposing new gun law.

MAking it a campaign issue would require that someone go out and vote on it. People of anti opinion seldom do that, and that makes sense. Anti's by their nature want the solution to perceived danger to be something someone else takes care of. If they were willing to do something about it themselves, the odds of their being anti would be lower. Just lookat how small their "rallies" have been. 30-50 tops for the few I have seen. Listening to the internet (full of high school kids and the rest of the planet), you'd think they were legion.

I'm sorry but Christie is not afraid of gun owners in NJ. He is afraid of gun owners in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Iowa, Colorado, Oregon and serveral other swing states.

As long as he is afraid of some gun owners

Christie should just tell reporters that NJ already has among the toughest gun control laws in the country and leave it at that.

Media already believes NJ's gun laws are too loose......and I ain't kidding.

True that.

 

We're a small minority in New Jersey and our voting patterns are fairly predictable.

 

I'd add New Hampshire, Virginia, West Virginia, Florida, Iowa, Wisconsin, New Mexico and Nevada. Mostly purple states that went for Obama one time or another. Plus, he needs avoid having the Republican party core going apoplectic at the thought of him as the #2 guy on the ticket. He must walk a fine line but as a successful lawyer and successful politician, I'm confident that he can do it.

 

He's younger than he looks. He'll be 54 in 2016 and still only 62 in 2024. I doubt he wants to retire to become president of a second-tier New Jersey liberal arts college at the age of 55 if he leaves the NJ governor's job in 2018.
