Chris Christie NRA shill

Word on the street is that the race for NJ Governor is heating up already with Jon Corzine going after Chris Christie for being a NRA shill.

Yeah, I was laughing too when I heard this.

But let’s see what this article says about Chris Christe working for the NRA…….

Corzine Lie: Christie stands with the NRA

FACT: Chris Christie supports the assault weapons ban and all current gun laws. He opposes attempts to permit conceal and carry laws in New Jersey – hardly the NRA position

Unlike Jon Corzine, Chris Christie will strictly enforce the gun laws against violent criminals, ending parole against violent felons and making bail harder to get for violent felons. The U.S. Attorney’s Office, under Christie, did nearly 800 gun cases and broke up violent gangs in Camden, East Orange, Newark and Asbury Park, jailing hundreds of gang members. Here’s Corzine’s record: murders increased 9% last year, rapes jumped by 15% and burglaries increased by 7%. (Source: NJ Uniform Crime Report, 2008). While Jon Corzine wants to use gun laws to play the typical petty politics of the past, Chris Christie would toughen gun laws to fight criminals and make New Jersey safer – another job Jon Corzine has failed in as Governor.

And whats interesting, in the video posted within the article I link to, Corzine claims Christie supports *Armor Piercing Rifle Ammo*.  Sounds like Corzine is pissed that the .50cal ban in NJ is spinnin’ it’s wheels.

Even though this ad is tomfoolery, seems to put Christie in a bind.  Even though he’s trying to get support from NJ gun owners, he’s not our best buddy.  So is Corzine gonna try and get Christie to confront him on this, and alienate gun owners even more?  Or get Christie to stay mum and have people to believe that he is a shill?

I just can’t wait till Bryan Miller opens his mouth about this.
