Christie: I'd consider revisiting New Jersey's gun laws if I had a Republican legislature

“Send me a Republican legislature. And with a Republican legislature you’ll have a governor who will respect, appropriately, the rights of law-abiding citizens to be able to protect ourselves,” Mr. Christie said about the Second Amendment when asked a town hall meeting in this Morris County township.

Mr. Christie ended by saying: “No rights are given to you by government. All are rights are given to you by God.”

Mr. Christie has previously stated that he supports “strictly enforcing” New Jersey’s existing gun-control laws, which are some of the strongest in the U.S. He has vetoed bills that would provide additional restrictions, such as reducing gun magazine capacity.
