New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie slammed the National Rifle Association’s latest ad in which they accuse President Barack Obama of hypocrisy for sending his children to a school where they are protected by armed guards. Christie called the ad “reprehensible” and said that the NRA should not be “dragging people’s children” into the gun control debate.

“I think any of us who are public figures, you see that kind of ad and you cringe,” Christie said on Thursday at a news conference in Trenton. “I’m a father who is a public figure, who has four children and my children had no choice realistically in what I decided to do with my career and what affect that has had on their lives.”

“Don’t be dragging people’s children into this,” he added. “It’s wrong and I think it demeans them and it makes them less of a valid trusted source of information on the real issues that confront this debate.”

“Are the president’s kids more important than yours?” the narrator in the NRA advertisement asks. “Then why is he skeptical about putting armed security in our schools when his kids are protected by armed guards at their school?”

“Mr. Obama demands the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes, but he’s just another elitist hypocrite when it comes to a fair share of security,” the controversial ad concludes.

I expect the GOP to put him up during the primaries, at least. They are so good at picking losers.

He is finished for 2016. There is nothing wrong with the NRA ad.

Another one of our aspiring Lords and Masters who happens to have an ‘R’ in front of his name. Fat piece of filth.

Hypocrite Christie! Why did Obama surround himself with children for his “speech”. That’s a Hitler move! Christie has joined the dark side.

Who cares how “public officials” think anymore “WhaleBoy”.

We care about the U.S Constitution and Bill of Rights not what you “public officials” think of us.

Democrat and Republican voters better join hands on this gun issue.

Anyone who even hints at voting to take that freedom must be ejected from office next go round.

This comes across as though he is a snob; lives among the elites to where it seems he is wanting to get the media to like/accept him. Duh. We want a person that the media does not like. The ad was for all children to be safe, not just for the powerful. It is very offending to all gun owners to be treated like we are the problem. Christie, you could had been great if you were a real conservative.

Christie has lost his mind. I think it was the hurricane, he hasn't been right in the head since then, and have you noticed, he has put on a lot of weight?
