Stating he is a gun banner is not fair in my opinion. I am a NJ gun owner, and the latest gun bills passed by the legislature was going to be my red line to vote for him. If he signed them, no vote. However, he vetoed everyone of them that had anything to do with tightening the gun laws in NJ. There has been no meaningful changes in the gun laws unlike our neighbors and Colorado I might add. In the recent past, not twenty years ago, he stated he would contemplate loosening NJ gun laws, but not if the effort would be futile, and to be fair it would with the present composition of our legislature.
He ran for the lower house on a platform that included banning “assault weapons”.
He might be doing this now, but he stood for something else in the past. His statements on “gun control” are very Obamaesque and sounds like someone that would have a hostile relationship with the 2nd amendment groups, just for the sake of having a hostile relationship.
