Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a gun control bill Wednesday that would have banned ammunition magazines holding more than 10 rounds.
In his veto message, the Republican governor rejected the idea that limiting the number of bullets that guns can hold will put an end to mass shootings, calling it a "simplistic" and "trivial" approach. The bill would have reduced the legal ammunition capacity from 15 to 10 rounds.

yes--he could not be more obvious... what a poser...
He is right in a sense that the legislation would have been “trivial”, but that is the left’s tried and true MO, to chip away at our rights until they’re in a postition to make the Great Leap, ie, an Obama administration.
Which begs the question that, since Christie is known to not be a friend of the Second Amendment, and he considers this legislation trivial, did he want a less “trivial” law, which would really put the screws to law-abiding American gun owners? Ie, this legislation didn’t go far enough for him?
I remember seein’ him “posin’” with the lyin’king. They shoulda tossed out some gang signs while they were together. I guess some people have no conscience when it comes to sucking up to get what they need. And, guess what. I don’t think NJ has gotten the help they thought they were gonna get yet. Funny (in a sad way) how folks keep voting for people full of empty promises.
Good grief!
15 is already too small!
The move to 10 could hardly have been intended to impact many weapons.
It was simply another fascist step in incrementalism.
He did one thing right! But pandering for sure. His best bud lives in our house in DC.
Not buying it, Christie. Your veto of the homosexual conversion therapy bill tells me everying I need to know.
He was correct in his veto, but his reasoning and response are weak. He is simply a lazy lard ass in his physical, spiritual, political and intellectual being. In other words he is a RINO.
Crispy still has some hope of running in 2016. Otherwise he would loved to have signed that gun control bill. He’d love to get rid of automatic rifles (don’t say assault rifles) period.
Now maybe he can carry his logic through to the inevitable conclusion that stupid laws limiting the lawful carry of concealed weapons do not make anyone safer except the criminals... If he does that, maybe I'll consider voting for him for president. But even then, my patience is wearing thin with him.

TRENTON – Gov. Chris Christie vetoed a gun-control bill that would have cut the maximum allowable size for an ammunition magazine from 15 to 10 rounds, urging lawmakers to focus instead on mental illness to reduce violence.
