Christie Denies He’s Flipped on Gun Control

‘The approach I’m going to take is to protect Second Amendment rights but make sure I make decisions that are in the best interests of the people of New Jersey’

CHRISTIE: "I haven’t changed my tune, Chris. In fact, I signed is the bill that banned guns on the terror watch list. As president, I would make sure that terror watch list was actually accurate. But I think most Americans believe if you’re on the terror watch list, you shouldn’t be able to buy guns. But I also have vetoed the 50-caliber rifle ban, I’ve also vetoed a statewide ID system. I’ve also vetoed a reduction in the magazine ban, and I’ve also pardoned six different folks so far who have been caught up very unfairly in my view in New Jersey’s gun laws. So, listen, the approach I’m going to take is to protect Second Amendment rights but make sure I make decisions that are in the best interests of the people of New Jersey. I think that’s what the people of the United States want. That’s the kind of president I’m going to be."
