New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s administration is proposing stricter rules for gun dealers – a move that is expected to be closely watched as Christie considers jumping into the 2016 GOP presidential contest.
The proposals were put forth by the state police department, and have been approved by acting state Attorney General John J. Hoffman. The rules would affect the approximately 377 licensed retail and registered wholesale gun dealers and manufacturers in the state. |

As a NJ resident, (and registered Republican) I will unequivocally state IMO Governor Christie is as crass and opportunistic as any politician that's ever been our misfortune to endure. And we've had/have a great many ! He jumped on the "anti-gun bandwagon" until hundreds of gun owners packed hearings in Trenton to express their displeasure with a litany of his proposed changes to NJ gun law. Then he vetoed the most unpopular with some glib excuses.
But NJ is "hoplophobe central" and it, (and NJ politician's careers) pivot on the Bergen, Passaic, Essex, Hudson, Somerset, Middlesex, Mercer axis. And this axis swings presidential elections. Christie is as venal, opportunistic and mendacious as any NJ governor since Woodrow Wilson. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
