Colorado -–(Ammoland.com)- Just last week Governor Christie was a no-show at an important gun-rights rally.
And with anti-gun lawmakers in Trenton ramming more gun control down the throats of law-abiding New Jersey gun owners, I’m afraid Governor Christie might cave in to their anti-gun agenda.
Make no mistake, what they have in store for you will only make the problem worse.
New Jersey already has some of the nation’s most anti-gun laws — second only to California.
And just like other bastions of Second Amendment hatred, these laws have done virtually nothing to keep citizens safe.
Gun owners already must register their weapons with the state, and very few people are “deemed worthy” enough for a concealed carry permit.
Right now, if you’re a law-abiding resident of Newark’s west ward, the only thing gun control has done for you is ensure that you remain a sitting duck. It’s no wonder that Newark has the 4th-highest murder rate of large American cities.
Where’s Governor Chris Christie when New Jersey gun owners need him? When asked, all Governor Christie had to say was, “You can ask me as many times as you want, and when I believe it’s appropriate for me to give an opinion on that, I’ll give one.”
That’s right.
Governor Christie is not only REFUSING to stand up for the rights of gun owners, he’s REFUSING to tell you where he stands on the legislatures anti-gun agenda.

When I left 6 years ago,newly acquired handguns required a permit / registration. Long guns — no.
The very worst thing about Jersey's crazy gun laws was the restriction on transportation. Directly to and from the home or place of business the range or hunting spot. Moving directly from old residence to new residence or in a direct line out of the state. Any deviation was felony.
