Chris Christie took a centrist tone on guns Wednesday, calling for the “right balance” between gun control and the Second Amendment.

“We’ve got to make sure we have public safety, but on the other hand we have to protect people’s rights both as sportsmen and hunters and for self protection too, find the right balance,” Christie told a group of New Hampshire voters at Chez Vachon in Manchester, according to New Jersey newspaper The Record.

Uh, hey doughboy. The correct balance would be one that allows you to control your weapon for excellent shots. That's about the only gun control that applies. For supposedly being such a smart guy, looks like the definition of "infringed" has somehow managed to escape.

Ah yeah Christie, and the right balance is fewer guns in the hands of politicians and celebrities and more in the hands of law-abiding U.S. citizens, preferably born in the U.S.

Amendments:

1
2
3
4
5
6...

In Christie’s world it’s:

1
0
3
4
5
6...

Screw you Christie. Read the amendment and learn what it says about infringements or limitations.

Will Christie ever shut up?

Instead of annoying us, why doesn't Christie call his boyfriend, Obama, for a date? I'm sure he's not busy.

The correct balance is “shall not be infringed”,
and those that cannot be trusted with a firearm
should be in an institution of some sort.

The Second Amendment is the difference between citizens and subjects. There’s a reason it was #2, right after the First Amendment, which is also under attack by the ruling class.

The only “right balance” Chrispy Creame knows about is the balance between glazed and iced in a box of donuts.

Balance is very easy.

If you want to own a Gun, go buy one, or a hundred.

If you don’t, don’t buy one.

If you want to kill someone, don’t use a Gun.

Instead, go the Ted Kennedy route and take them for a ride in an Oldsmobile.

I agree, In fact it ought to be a LAW, that any and all persons that call for Gun Control should NEVER be allowed to Use, Own or Possess ANY FIREARM, nor have anybody in their employ, or employed on their behalf to possess a FIREARM.

Dear Krispy Kreme,

Hunting is not the reason for the Second Amendment.

Shooting sports is not the reason for the Second Amendment.

Tyrants are the reason for the Second Amendment.

there is no balance just like there is none over marriage, freedom of speech, religious rights.

We need Krispy to run, to split the RINO vote. Fortunately, his ego is large enough to justify a vanity campaign.

Our other problem is crossovers from the non-existent Dem primary. There is good news on that front, with Chafee's announcement to run. Hopefully more will follow. Hillary's campaign will collapse like a cardboard fort in the rain.
