Christie pardons Marine over gun charge
Gov. Chris Christie today pardoned a U.S. Marine sergeant working as a recruiter in the early voting state of New Hampshire of all gun and ammunition charges filed against him in Bergen County last Labor Day weekend. It was the same day that Christie announced his run for the Republican nomination for president.

Permitting was found to have been “unevenly” applied across New Jersey’s townships, so regulations will be broadened to apply to more people who desire firearms for protection.
The Garden State met the Granite State when Gov. Christie bused a bunch of NJ residents up to New Hampshire to assist with campaigning.
The Attorney General will crack down on towns that are too slow in approving gun permit applications for guns and ID cards.
“Christie has ignored the great body of evidence that the state’s gun laws work to reduce violence in favor of kowtowing to the demands of pro gun extremists in another state”. The panel was created after Berlin resident Carol Bowne was stabbed to death, apparently by an ex-boyfriend who later killed himself after her firearm permit application was delayed beyond the statutory limit.
They also slammed the report’s timing, as well as Christie’s inscrutable commission appointment process and the opaque methodology when it came to the findings.
But gun rights advocates don’t like the plan and its “justifiable need” requirement to carry, demanding the Second Amendment be invoked. “Nevertheless, the law in New Jersey can impose unduly harsh consequences upon firearm owners who transport their otherwise-legal funs into New Jersey inadvertently and with no ill intent”.
The term isn’t defined in statute, the report said, but New Jersey regulations say it means: “The urgent necessity for self-protection, as evidenced by specific threats or previous attacks which demonstrate a special danger to the applicant’s life that can not be avoided by means other than by issuance of a permit to carry a handgun”.

“Christie is effectively saying that we can save our kids the hassle of being bullied by their classmates by having the government do the bullying for them”, Green concludes. Instead, the report lays out administrative changes that could be made.
