My question, if I am fortunate enough to be called on in the Q&A session, will be regarding the Second Amendment. For a non-connected law abiding citizen to obtain a carry permit is nearly impossible.

I’m not happy about some of his policies, such as gun control, but he’s definitely the best Governor that NJ could possibly hope for and he’s much better than most of NJ deserves.

I wish I were going as well.

Yes, no death penalty and regular citizens are unable to protect themselves away from home. They make victims out of law abiding people.

Only the privileged, and the criminals carry in NJ.

Update: Though I was not called upon, it was an interesting session. Taxes and jobs were a serious focus point, and Christie’s statements and answers seemed on the right track.

FYI, had he called on me, here is my question:

My question is regarding the Second Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. What part of the phrase “shall not be infringed” does the state government fail to understand?

The requirement for a permit alone is an infringement on our Constitutional rights, and the near impossibility for an ordinary law abiding citizen to obtain a permit adds insult to injury.

Having to show “need” does not apply to the First, or any other amendment; why should it apply to the Second?

Anyone who cannot be trusted with a firearm should not be running around in public.

"Governor Christie is holding a townhall in Brick, NJ"

Off subject but just a quick comment:

Brick, NJ has the best youth soccer teams I have ever come accross. Everyone seems to show up in SUV's in this very wealthy community. 18 full soccer fields in one complex, wow.

Back to regular subject.
