Christina glad youre okay. Thank you. Governor Chris Christie is taking heat from people on both sides of the gun debate for a move that will loosen restrictions in the state. Dan bowens explains. Reporter new jersey governor Chris Christie is moving forward with a plan he says is intended to ease gun rules in the state. But his proposal is receiving criticism from both sides of the gun control debate. We were very disappointed with the outcome. Reporter this is the president of the new jersey 2nd amendment rights society, frustrated by the push to ease gun restrictions in the state. This was his opportunity and he lost it. Reporter the governor endorsing a report from the firearm purchase and permitting the recommendations include broadening access to concealed carry permits for those who can prove threats against their lives. The effort is misguided, he says. We expected he would understand that the 2nd amendment is not based on needs. We dont have to demonstrate that were going to be attacked first or that we have been attacked to exercise the fundamental right. Reporter the changes would not require legislative action and come a week after democrats lost a bitter battle to tighten gun control laws in new jersey. The way it was done is very suspect. Reporter Loretta Weinberg calling the move political ahead of president ial campaigning in states like new hampshire. Everything that has been done over the past year has to do with governor christies aspirations to be president of the united states. Reporter we did reach out to the governors office. They didnt respond directly to the criticism. They pointed us to a statement the local affiliate telling us these executive actions will make a real difference for law abiding gun owners. Dan bowens, fox 5 news. Christina a bronx precinct is remembering a fallen hero, one of six americans killed by a yesterday. He spent 15 years hunting down criminals in the bronx. The news of his death prompted a show of support where he worked. Firefighters say its a tragedy his wife and two children lost him before christmas. This time of year makes it more profoundly sad.

Approximately 20,000 employees will get the six weeks fully paid which can increase to 12 weeks with existing paid time off.

Nick oh, my gosh. We had temperatures in the lower 60s. Crazy for december 22. Its going to get warmer by christmas eve. Be prepared for a warm, not a white christmas. Christina like a gift.

Back to 60 at newark. Were up another three to eight degrees from 24 hours ago. Wind out of the southwest. Thats been the story of the day, keeping the temperatures up. Wind will switch more to the north tonight. Eventually as we head into tomorrow and beyond, it will come back to the southsouthwest, particularly after a warm front moves north of the area tomorrow night into thursday. Right now on fox 5 sky guardian, the rain has gone. We will deal with fog overnight. Look at the satellite radar composite. The rain is exiting new england. We might see a little bit of that for part of the night, but i think the clouds will come up be around and well get into more rain with the southerly airflow in play. Especially the storm out west goes to the west. That will drag the warm front northward. That will bring the threat of rain tomorrow late morning and lunchtime on. Were in the 50s in the morning. 60 at lunchtime. The steady rain in the afternoon. Some of that could be good downpours into the evening. We climb to 62 in the afternoon and stay there tomorrow night. Futurecast shows why . The front is moving northward. You can see the rain coming through here tomorrow afternoon.

Christina for some of us, the only sunlight we see is the hour of commute. Daylight savings time gives us the extra hour at the end of the day. Some people want to stop falling back. Reporter a few months ago, we turned back the clock to preserve sunshine. But is Daylight Saving time a welcomed act . In massachusetts, our winter sun sets at 4 11. Thats not that much later than the local sunset time in anchorage. I think we can do better with winter sunlight than alaska. In the Massachusetts Legislature that, if passed, would commission a study to look at replacing his states current Eastern Standard Time with atlantic standard time. Reporter im hoping we can build momentum and let people know we dont have to change the clocks. We can decide for ourselves with the approval of the state legislature, governor and the u. S. Department of transportation, we can stick with summertime all year. Reporter a major concern is the health implications. If you change it in different places, then everybody will be out of sync. Reporter this is a manhattanbased ear, nose and throat surgeon. His biggest concern was springing forward and falling back, the disruptions in sleeping. Sleep apnea is the no. 1 cause for heart attack and stroke. These are serious problems. Snoring and sleep apnea also leads to decreased function at school and decreased function at work. Because people go and theyre not working properly because theyre exhausted. Arizona and hawaii do not observe Daylight Saving time and florida now joins massachusetts with bills being considered to change their observances of dst. We asked new yorkers what they thought. I have a kid. Its really hard when you have a kid and there are a lot of moms i think would say that, all the transitioning. Reporter whats the biggest benefit to having Daylight Saving time . You can enjoy the evening hours. You dont feel that your day is really over. You dont have that depressing feeling, my god, the day went by and i blew it. Christina antwan lewis, fox 5 news. Christina something everyone never tires of talking about. This is the host of morning drive on new jersey 101. 5. Are you for Daylight Savings time . Its just time to do one thing. I dont think you end Daylight Saving. We need to spring ahead and stay. Everybody said you want the extra hour of daylight because people say it will save energy. They did it in indiana when some of the counties had not opted in. The state of indiana in 2006 said were all going to be on Daylight Saving. It will save millions in energy cost. The opposite happened. What was offset by the lights ended up an increase in air conditioning costs. It doesnt work. It doesnt save energy. Christina why are we doing it . Hawaii and arizona, they opted out. They opted out. New york and new jersey wanted they could. The federal government doesnt require any state to do it. There was a study at the university of alabama that said on the monday and tuesday after we spring ahead and lose the hour of sleep, a 10 percent increase in heart attacks. Christina it makes sense. Its disrupting sleep. Sleep deprivation is huge. There are car accidents. Pedestrians have to watch out. And in the television business, nielsen says the week after the spring ahead, Television Ratings christina theyre depressed. What happens . I dont know. Much. Forget about the studies. I think the most important thing is think about the winter. In new jersey, there are 26,000 collisions between cars and deer every year. Nighttime. At 4 30. If you sprung ahead in march and left it there, when we come to november, it would get dark at its simple. Christina it is simple. Makes you wonder why did we start this. You have a bit of history. Go back to ben franklin who was in france. He was writing about how he observed that there was an increase in the use of whale oil. Theyre using these oil lamps because its getting dark early. He mused about it and thought what if we had a longer day. It wasnt until world war i, 1917, 1918, that we enacted an Energy Saving policy. Then it probably made more sense because you were talking about conserving oil. Every house didnt have air conditioning. The farmers are opposed to it. The Dairy Farmers especially. It upsets the milking schedules. Christina interesting. Always something there. Bill, i listen to your radio show. Bright and early tomorrow. Christina a lot more coming up, including major backlash against odell beckham, jr. Russ talks about whether its justified. And thursday, a look at unusual new york outings. Well show you fun things to do when your normal plans just wont cut it. Christina time now for sports with russ. Everyone is talking about odell beckham, jr. , and what happened over the weekend. Russ first, lets just say the appeal, he filed the appeal yesterday. It will be heard tomorrow. Im assuming a decision will be made because theres a game coming up sunday. Christina what do you think is going to happen . Russ my gut feeling is theres too much pressure, negative heat coming down, that i believe they will uphold the suspension and he will miss the game, which is tough for the giants. Lets face it, the giants need to win two and the redskins need to lose two. Youre pulling out the most whos going to catch the ball . I wonder about that. That said, i have to tell you what has transpired since sunday has taken on a life of its own. Christina like a mob. Russ a lynch mob. Im not condoning his actions. What he did was wrong. He snapped. He let the emotions get the best of him. That said, people are talking about it. I wake up and im hearing and reading the same stuff that you hear from the fans as well. Hes this guy, hes that guy. His behavior in this league should not be tolerated. He doesnt have a history of being a bad guy. Hes got a history of being a good guy. He made a bad mistake. It happened. Nobody was hurt. Its real bizarre. It is. Christina youre a fan. Smart kid. Russ he is hes a bright kid. Hes a good kid. I heard somebody make a comparison today, you know, even Lawrence Taylor did this. Let me tell you something. If you asked Lawrence Taylor who should your kid be more like, me, being lawrence, or odell beckham, jr. , hes going to say odell beckham, jr. Its been a mob mentality. Had he caught the winning touchdown, you know what . We can make a fortune selling chapstick for everyone lining up to kiss his derriere. Take a look. This is after the game. This is the vile carolina panthers, the team he was playing against. Do you think that is cam newton giving him do you think everybody looks hateful and upset . Christina doesnt look like it. Russ thats the point. About people saying coughlin has lost control . Struggling a bit . Russ if he lost control, youre entitled to your opinion. If thats the case, how come they didnt quit and chose to battle back from a deficit and tie the score. When you lose, its the end of the world. When you win, everybody is right behind you. Christina russ, thanks a lot. Well be right back with a holiday surprise for a young woman whose brother has been serving in the military pson, the Holiday Seasons just like football season.
