Chris Christie gets it right on 2A laws... twice!

[pudly]

Historically Christie, while not a gun banner, has certainly not been the best on gun laws. However, it looks like he has pulled a couple of legislative moves that are clearly pro-gun. Neither are guaranteed to make it through the full legislative process, but I'll give him credit for pushing things in the right direction in New Jersey.

Short version: Christie has issued "conditional vetoes" of two anti-gun bills. Conditional vetoes in NJ allow the governor to propose alternative text that would be more acceptable. The details of these conditional vetoes is notable.

• Bill #1- Vetoed a bill that locks down NJ's harsh "may issue" standards and calls for making NJ "shall issue".
• Bill #2- NJ has had laws for some time that effectively have kept smart guns off the market by dictating that as soon as any smart gun started to sell at retail anywhere in the US, only smart guns could be sold in NJ. He proposes stripping out these restrictions entirely and allowing people and FFLs the freedom to buy/sell smart guns without dictates, aka consumer choice.

I don't trust RINO Christie any farther than I could throw him into the wind.

Those are actually some sensible moves, however, I don't have the time to look at exactly what the outcome would be. I don't know what, if anything, he's still giving away. He is the fat ass puss bag, after all.

I don't trust the fat ass puss bag either. During the primaries I viewed him as the most dangerous Republican in the race. My opinion of him hasn't changed for the better.

Huh...Admittedly, I haven't read the link and am commenting based on pudly's synopsis but I would guess Christie is planning on running for president again and wants to build up his 2A resume.

I think you are correct. His views changed suddenly a year ago when he decided to run.

Maybe you should just refer to him as the FAP.

Well, around the kid I actually do, but I spell it FAPB. I don't refer to him as FAP because I don't want my kid googling that.

Well then. I learned something new today.

I take it your youngster is still at an age where you say 'Johnson' and 'Gary' is what comes to his mind as opposed to, well, something else.

Eh, he's 16 and seems to have inherited my sensibilities, so...

jamil: Son, it's time we had a talk about the "birds and bees".

son-of-jamil: Sure, Dad. What do you want to know?

Christie has always shown that any action he takes is for personal gain.
I don't trust the fat pig mafia pawn any farther than I can crap.
On his upside though... He or one of his aides will sell you a tunnel or bridge and help run it for you.

Interestingly, this news even made one of the industry sites that come in my daily email, at work.

I certainly don't trust him, but I won't complain that he is working for our side, at least for the time being, however long that may last.
