Gov. Chris Christie unveiled gun control and violence prevention measures that are as comprehensive as they are ambitious.
Christie acknowledges there is no way to prevent all violence in our society, but he says it is the job of government to question, to scrutinize and to demand more in an attempt to address the problem.
The plan calls for expanding New Jerseys already strict gun control laws, expanding government-funded mental health treatment, making it more difficult for kids buy or rent violent video games, requiring that would-be gun owners show government-issued IDs and bolstering penalties for gun-related crimes.
Its hard for me to sit here today and say, If all these things got imposed wed see an X percentage drop in gin violence in this state. I dont know, said Christie. Bad people are going to do bad things and so, would greater penalties deter people? You hope they do.(continued)

Stop with the gun control, Christie. WE the PEOPLE do not want it, not that you care.

“But if it prevents just one!!” they’ll say, when we oppose it.

NJ already has ridiculous gun laws. More won’t help.

...requiring that would-be gun owners show government-issued IDs... Disenfranchising the minorities and po folks again. Typical Republican.

Is this REALLY who they are gonna push on us in 2016? I’m old. At this point I’d consider it luck to not have to worry about it.

Christie Kreme on a low liberty diet. High on regulation, low on freedom.

The right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed as long as it’s registered and you have a license for it. OK, I made that last part up.
