New Jersey has some of, the most strict gun control laws in the country, and is pretty competitive with New York.

That said, I actually watched a speech with him on TV, where he said his view on assault weapons was if they are banned, then you should go to jail for having them, if they were legal, then you have a right to own them, and he also stated he does not believe there is any need for any new gun control laws, only for laws to be enforced.

I would say its weasel wording, in that, he did NOT advocate repealing any gun control laws, and his words, he actually used the phrase "status quo" to describe his position. I didn't see him make any reference to other states laws, except for a brief reference to each state having a right to their own laws (in reference to a question asked by the reporter about Bloombergs going after gun shops in other states).

“status qu” to me means he supports those laws. I'm not a person who thinks everyone needs to own a full auto but classifying a firearm by the way it looks comes right out of juvenile sandbox mentality. Oh wow look at that it looks just like ????? so it must be the same!!!!! BS!!! If one can not apply the facts to one issue, (AF15 illegal-mini14 legal) I do not trust them to be able to make other decisions.
It is like the president we have now. From the beginning I stated that he had no experience at running anything. I could give a damn what color he is he is the most inexperienced president in the history of out country, and his lack of effectiveness clearly supports that fact.
If a man can not stand up and “clearly” state what he believes he isn't much of a man, he isn't being honest, and is usually after something he hasn't earned.
Too many years in the military here. What is, IS, and that is always where I start. Do not listen to what they say, see what they have done, what they are doing, and what their body language is saying. You need to remember if people didn't talk they wouldn't tell lies but those who talk do lie and those who talk a lot lie a lot. This is one of those survival rules that combat troops use. You don't even need to understand the language, it is a universal rule.
Politicians talk a lot.
