Gov. Christie: Americans need to have a 'national discussion' about gun control

TRENTON — Gov. Chris Christie said tonight that gun control is one of several issues that must be examined to prevent tragedies like Friday’s school shooting in Connecticut.

On New Jersey 101.5 FM’s "Ask the Governor," Christie said Americans should engage in a "national discussion" about gun control, as well as the stigma associated with mental health treatment and violence in the media.

"What role does the media play in terms of the violence we see on television and the movies? And the violent video games that I think desensitize our children to the real effects of violence. So I think we have to have a national discussion," the governor said.

When asked whether gun control was an issue as well, Christie said, "Gun control absolutely has to be part of that discussion too."

Christie said New Jersey has the second-toughest gun laws in the nation, behind New York. "I’ve been a supporter of that as governor and will continue to be," he said.

As long as the conversation starts with an admittance by the Dems that their “Gun-Free Zone” actually created a target rich environment of defenseless victims for psychotic mass murderers.

We should start referring to the gun grabbers as the anti-constitutionalists

I do that all the time, but I refer to them personally as "America Haters". If you ever want to enrage a lib, try it some time. Hey, it was the Communist-in-Chief who said "get in their face", right? That door swings both ways and I don't much care who I piss off any more.

Khristie Kreme needs to just keep his mouth shut! He’s become a huge embarassment to Pubs and Conservatives who once thought he was simpatico. ...Typical of politicians from anywhere in the Northeast States.

Rinomney’s second choice for VP and Ann Coldturd’s first choice for RINO POTUS.

He should just switch parties now and not keep us guessing...

....we’d rather talk about why you’re so fat.Christie...


I wonder if he is for (or against) FOOD CONTROL.

I know that the “first bitch” is pushing the program.

This “fat slob” is a real “piece of work.” If anyone puts any trust in him they will get what they deserve.

When they say this it is code for”we need to have a national discussion about the Constitution” [...an “obviously flawed document].

How about a national discussion on how the GOP and DNC are two peas in a tyrannical pod?

STFU fat boy, you are the problem and not the solution.

I wish the guv rino would have a discussion with his family doctor about how enormous he is. Excessive “food control” (or lack of it) should be his issue.

One more big fat RINO chimes in with the approved wording for gun grabbing.

I’ve had that conversation before. My comment is that the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. What exactly are the leftists going to say in response that is worth hearing? If they wish to infringe on my God-given rights, we are going to have an unfriendly conversation!
