In the wake of the recent tragedy in Newtown, Connecticut, the New Jersey School Boards Association is sponsoring a program today entitled "Safe and Secure Schools: Perspectives after Newtown."
Governor Chris Christie has created a bi-partisan task force to look at what causes gun violence including; mental health issues, addiction, gun laws, school safety and the level of violence in society.
New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is labeling "reprehensible" the National Rifle Association ad that brought President Barack Obama's daughters into the gun-control debate.
Yesterday, President Barack Obama unveiled sweeping proposals for curbing gun violence, pressing a reluctant Congress to pass universal background checks and bans on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines like the ones used in the Newtown, Connecticut., school shooting. Today, Governor Chris Christie is responding with New Jersey’s plan.
From Oregon to Mississippi, President Barack Obama's proposed ban on new assault weapons and large-capacity magazines has struck a nerve among rural lawmen and lawmakers, many of whom vowed to ignore any restrictions — and even try to stop federal officials from enforcing gun policy in their jurisdictions.
