Good for Christie
Maybe he’s eyeing the VP slot
He’s loosening restrictions on gun laws and streamlining the permitting process :
Gov. Christie’s administration announced measures Friday to ease some New Jersey state gun restrictions, including an expansion of the standard for getting a permit to carry a gun.
The Republican governor, who previously endorsed loosening the state’s gun laws, said in a statement Friday that the changes would “deliver relief and assurance to New Jerseyans exercising their Second Amendment rights.”
The changes, which follow recommendations issued by a study commission Christie formed last year, include a regulatory amendment that adds “serious threats” to the circumstances considered a special danger to a person’s life. This expands the standard of “justifiable need” that applicants have to meet to get a permit to carry a gun in New Jersey.
The amendment also says that a permit to carry can be issued based on danger to the applicant’s life that cannot be avoided by other “reasonable” means rather than by “any” means.
It’s a start.

Election-year eyewash.

Election year smoke and mirrors. If that fat lop was truly concerned for the right to carry he would’ve done this a long time ago.
‘Sides, that RINO turd’s had his nose up Obama’s ass since he’s been in office.

Thank you Overlord Christie for giving us our rights.

I’m with the rest of the gang here. All he’s done is put some cheese and mayo on the s#|t sandwich that is New Jersey gun law, so he can hope to check the box marked “gun friendly” in time for the VP appointment. That’s still the worst sandwich in the deli, no matter what you call it.
Christie may be the most blatantly opportunistic RINO ever to hope for that office. Please, #dietyofyourchoice, dont let him climb out of the sewer that is his home state.

He’s a sack of steaming weasel turds. If he actually believed in the Second Amendment, we’d see a lot more than adding a few hundred people, total, to their permission-slip system.

Likely Trump veep. Which would piss me off if I weren’t willing to lay 100 to 1 odds that something much much worse for gun rights and everything else will be the next commie puppet in office. And I only bet on sure things.
And about 90% of the blame (credit in their view) for that rests on the shoulders, heart, and hands of “republicans”. Including some right here.

In the very best bureaucratic manner, Lord Christie has now made it merely extremely unlikely that any application for concealed carry will be approved, rather than merely impossible to obtain approval.
These changes are akin to raising taxes 20%, then changing that increase to “only” 15% higher, and claiming you provided citizens with a 25% tax reduction.
Not just eyewash, smoke & mirrors, granting of rights, s#!t sandwiches and weasel turds, this is Christie thinking he can fool enough Republicans, for long enough, to obtain an office from which he can continue to piss on us and tell us it is raining.

The Republican governor, who previously endorsed loosening the state’s gun laws,
In a previous life?
Why is the link to the shooting of a 3 yr old?
Methinks the Minitrue outlet is upset about people gun rights.

Bad link on this story Mr. Uncle.
