Chris Christie Unveils Sweeping Gun Control Plans

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 Jersey’s 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.

“It’s hard for me to sit here today and say, ‘If all these things got imposed we’d see an ‘X’ percentage drop in gin violence in this state.’ I don’t know,” said Christie. “Bad people are going to do bad things and so, would greater penalties deter people? You hope they do.”(continued)

For what it’s worth, I just wrote him on his website that I will be staying home come November for his reelection.

Good grief, from what a NJ friend told me, the only place you can handle a gun is on a firing range (and why do they even have them)?

What more is this jellyroll going to do? Edit out guns on video and in film and replace them with bananas?

He will switch to the Dems and win in 2016. The Democrats will love him.

I said that the day he was kanoodling with Obama, you stole my Idea ! :-)...

[Georgia Girl 2]

If I was Crispy I’d be more concerned about weight control than gun control. :-)

“He will switch to the Dems and win in 2016. The Democrats will love him.”

What do you mean, “switch”?

[The Antiyuppie]

“perhaps he should ban his own high capacity donut box.....”

—”Baker’s Dozen” doughnuts outlawed

—Boxes of doughnuts can contain no more than seven (7) doughnuts

—Doughnuts can be only a maximum of 50mm in diameter and weigh no more than 60 grams

—Powdered sugar banned

See my tagline.

[VerySadAmerican]

Yep, and this kind of crap will hand him the nomination. We have two choices. Vote for rinos or start a third party. It’s obvious the gop ain’t gonna’ get fixed from within.

[fabian]

hah! Not a real conservative! rino!

[Red in Blue PA]

I will never pull the lever for this anti-2A POS. RNC, are you listening?

[slapshot]

Anybody up for a compare/contrast between Krispy Kreme and Ralph Kramden?

Hey Norton Hey Barak

To the Moon Get the Hell of the beach

Need to photoshop Krispy in the bus driver uniform. Would Graham be Norton???

[Red in Blue PA]

Why isn’t Crispy Cream talking about pressure cooker control?

"What more is this jellyroll going to do? Edit out guns on video and in film and replace them with bananas?"

It's been done before.

[CatherineofAragon]

LOL!

“Force him to drop the banana”......too scary. I think I’m gonna go shelter in place.

[dfwgator]

Suppose he’s got a bunch?

[CatherineofAragon]

Drop a 16 ton weight on him

[dfwgator]

Release the tiger!

“Bad people are going to do bad things and so, would greater penalties deter people? You hope they do.”

"Hope" is not a method, fatass.
