CHRIS CHRISTIE THE CONSERVATIVE: IN HIS OWN WORDS

If any candidate presents themselves for office I would suggest that people shouldnt judge them on the labels that anybody puts on them. They should judge them by the words that come out of their mouths.

[schuylkillian]

@thortun15 Call Christie's office tell him those things! Call your State Representative, tell them you work for me. I'm from Pennsylvania and our State Constitution Section 21 Right to Bear Arms says - The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves  and the State shall not be questioned. I'm curious to see what the NJ Constitution says on gun ownership.

[thortun15]

@schuylkillian i live in NJ, where you need a permit, it took me 6 months to get one, you need to be 21 to get a pistol/revolver and you need a serprate permit for each one. here, we cannot own anything with an adjustable stock, a pistol grip, or anything wiht a magazine greater than 15 round. here, bb guns and paintball guns are regulated as firearms. ridiculous, if you ask me.

[schuylkillian]

@thortun15 What does your State Constitution say about gun ownership?
