NJ gun owners are screwed, but then again, that was always the plan….
It all depends on how much Chris Christie wants to run for national office. Christie’s veto might earn him some admiration among conservatives nationally but his signature on any but the most innocuous of these bills will kill any presidential ambitions.
I rather doubt that he’s planning to run nationally as a Republican. That bridge is already in flames.
When do we just let them secede, and settle for some sort of Eurozone style currency or trade union?
Technically there’s always been a 7-day waiting period for handguns, but it currently starts the clock when you hand in your application for a Permit to Purchase.
