New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has been riding a wave of momentum in New Hampshire, picking up coveted endorsements and rising in the polls. But Christie's upswing has hit a snag. An influential gun group has put out a scathing notice about Christie to its politically engaged membership.
The New Hampshire Firearms Coalition, one of two major pro-gun groups in the state, emailed its members Wednesday, telling them "don't be fooled!" by the Republican presidential candidate's tough talk about the Second Amendment.
"The truth is Chris Christie has been an anti gun activist for his entire political career," the group's vice president, Scott Krauss, wrote in the email.
The Second Amendment is an important issue to New Hampshire Republicans and the politically active membership could hinder Christie's efforts in the state.
