While I would like nothing more than for Christie to support the SAF's efforts, I have my doubts about Christie doing the right thing:

HANNITY: Are there any issues where you are, quote, moderate to left as a Republican?

CHRISTIE: Listen, I favor some of the gun-control measures we have in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Bad idea.

CHRISTIE: Listen, we have a densely-populated state, and there's a big hand gun problem in New Jersey. Now, I don't support all the things that the governor supports by a long stretch. But I think on guns — certain gun control issues, looking at it from a law-enforcement perspective, seeing how many police officers were killed, we have an illegal gun problem in New Jersey.

HANNITY: Should every — should every citizen in the state be allowed to get a licensed weapon if they want one?

CHRISTIE: In New Jersey, that's not going to happen, Sean.

HANNITY: Why?

CHRISTIE: Listen, the Democratic legislature we have, there's no way those type of things — listen, at the end of the day, what I support are common sense laws that will allow people to protect themselves, but I also am very concerned about the safety of our police officers on the streets, very concerned. And I want to make sure that we don't have an abundance of guns out there.

You know what? The next time he’s at a town hall meeting, or on the radio, people should really take him to task on this. Wasn’t he quoted once (when referring to Obamacare), as saying that if it’s unconstitutional for the rest of the country, then it’s unconstitutional for New Jersey? If that’s the case, he needs to buck up, and go with the flow. It’s about damned time that NJ is brought in sync with the rest of the saner states as it applies to 2A rights: CCW with minimal restrictions, an end to one gun a month, and an AWB ban. All the legislation on the books here has done absolutely nothing to stem crime. I’m really surprised I didn’t see anything about this on the local media. Then again, I guess I’m not surprised. They want this one swept under the rug.
