Chris Christy: Anyone Know His Stance on 2A issues?

Status
Not open for further replies.
He is definitely not 2d A friendly. He is a typical east coast RINO, there isn't a real conservative bone in his body. Just a lot of hot air.

I wish I could find it again but a few years back during his run for governor he made some very unfriendly 2d A statements.
 
He just doesn't sit well with me, all I see is a limp noodle. Unless he has some amazing personality and people flock to him... Not gonna even going to get a glance from me.
 
Just about all of his professional career is in NJ where strict gun control is the law of their little swatch of land. Bottom line: Gun control is all he knows.

Go to you tube type in Chris Christie gun control and judge for your self.
But you will find he is not consistent at all on the issue.

He has vetoed some anti gun bills... https://www.nraila.org/articles/201...-owners-secure-a-significant-and-rare-victory

He has also said he wouldn't ever support of any "weakening" of existing gun laws. You could build a case either way with the right quotes, aka, flip flopping = no principles on the issue. So who knows what he'd really do.

His NRA rating was downgraded to a "C" last I remember.


EDIT:
I believe this is important, so please....
Let's limit this to his stance on 2A.
"Bridge gate" is not 2A related
Neither is the term RINO
His personality doesn't affect the 2A

Let's try not to get this locked :)

It is not even sure he is going to run for president. Chistie doesn't have funding to run for president. If Christie had funding for a presidential bid he would not be in Iowa right now.
 
My understanding is that NJ is one of the most anti-gun owning states in the lower 48. As their Governor a lot has to do with him. I would not trust him to protect your rights under any circumstances.

I would expect him to shoot you in the back in a metaphorical way.

IMHO, Chris Christie is a typical NE "Republican".
About one step to the right of Michael Bloomberg, who also ran as a "Republican". (And about one step left of Mitt Romney...)

Which ain't much, and not nearly enough for me, or a lot of others.

I grew up in CT many years ago, so I have a little bit of NE cred. I still have friends and relatives who live there, and others who have moved away, for a variety of reasons.

As a national policy....as long as the "R" party continues to nominate "soft and squishy" RINOs like McCain/Romney/Christie/Huckabee/Jeb Bush and so on...a lot of voters will not turn out, and they will continue to lose elections.

Whether the "R" party is ready to learn this lesson once and for all, before this Country goes over the cliff, is a matter of ongoing discussion/dispute....
 
Christie with a grade of "C"? According to the NRA people, a grade of B- is essentially failing. We're screwed if he gets the nomination against the you-know-what from Arkansas, and later NY.
 
Chris Christie (R) Governor of NJ gets an overall C rating from the NRA who looks at a large number of things and interviews. Christie has, in my opinion, on some issues been OK but I just distrust him. Several of his bedfellows are pretty strong anti-gun including the sitting president. While a C obviously beats an F it is far from a good grade. I just distrust Christie when it comes to gun rights.

Has NJ seen any improvements to 2A rights??

Didn't think so.

Christie has been governor for how long??
 
He's a professional politician.

What this means to me and you is that his political positions and decisions are dictated to him by his kingmakers.

He cannot be trusted no matter what he says.
 
Here is Christie on All the Issues.

Chris Christie on Gun Control

He's not a pro 2A politician. He favors and propagates the blithering drivel that antis love to use about 'assault weapons' and banning them and their magazines.
 
His career voting record is against the 2nd amendment. He's about as anti gun rights as you can get under the Republican banner. Pretty much in line with bloomberg on gun rights when he was still flying the Republican flag.
 
In general it's next to impossible to find his stance on anything because he doesn't have one. But he is most certainly a RINO.
 
What do you mean hard to find anything?

NRA, GOA, SAF all give him poor to mediocre ratings on the 2A.
 
Take a good look at a map of the U.S. with respect to what states do and do not honor your home state's CCW.

NJ is part of the big red block of NE states what doesn't like you or I to carry a firearm for any reason. (God bless the land-locked Vermont, though. May they forever hold out!)

Chris Crisy comes from that environment...and as a Republican governor in what...14 years? (I'm not counting the three short-termers after Whitman.) He's not likely to go about upsetting the bandwagon any time soon.

Remember...the Sills Act of 1966 came about two years before the 1968 GCA and, even though it was under Democratic governorship, NJ has NEVER mustered up any kind of political opposition to increasing gun control measures, regardless of who was in office.

Crisy appears to be, at best, wishy-washy.
 
Honestly, I'd feel safer having a Democrat in the White House and a Republican congress, as far as 2A issues are concerned, than I would having a Christie type Republican in the White House and the R's also holding Congress. I'd like to think most red state Republicans would tell a Republican president to pound sand on gun restrictions . . . but then let's remember Reagan was in office in 1986, etc. Sometimes gridlock is better than a good working relationship . . .
 
When they convicted a guy for moving, and he happened to have a gun in his car, I sent him an extensive email explaining how the charges were not at all logical, and as long as he continues to make New Jersey an unsafe place, I won't go there. I (and MANY others) requested that he be pardoned, as the conviction was illegitimate in the first place, and he shouldn't have a felony on his record. He gave him clemency and commuted his sentence. Not good enough. I won't forget.
