TRENTON, N.J. – Republican Gov. Chris Christie on Friday vetoed a ban on .50-caliber rifles that was vigorously opposed by firearms rights advocates and gutted a proposal overhauling the state’s gun permit law.
Christie said the permit changes adopted by lawmakers were impractical because they rely on technology that hasn’t been developed.
“None of the technology necessary for this system exists. … the smartcard called for by this bill cannot be implemented now or any time in the foreseeable future,” Christie said in his conditional veto message.

"These 10 bills:"http://www.nj.com/politics/index.ssf/2013/08/christie_signs_a_number_gun_bills_but_leaves_controversial_measures_on_his_desk.html
Of the 10 bills he signed, 6 are neutral, 2 are actually good for gun owners in New Jersey, and 2 are arguably bad, but they're bad on a Federal level.
Of the 3 he vetoed yesterday, ALL were bad for gun owners. He surprised me with a flat-out veto of the Barrett .50 BMG ban. There are only a handful of owners in the state -- in part because there aren't many ranges that are long enough and that have enough of a backstop to allow them. There wasn't any real downside for him to sign the ban, and he vetoed it anyway.

Showtime! Who buys .50 caliber? Only a few rabid enthusiasts. This is strictly for show in attempt to fool Conservatives for their vote.

AFAIK, just the banglist keyword which is already there.
To: rockinqsranch
Very few of us have them, but they’re definitely on the list to be banned, in the upcoming months/years, as soon as the dem cause an event to happen involving one. And they will.

But it could when we finally rise up after all peaceful solutions fail. Krispy has reason to fear.
