Parents of children killed in the 2012 Newtown, Connecticut, school shooting joined Democrats Thursday in calling on New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie to sign a ban on ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

The measure was passed by the New Jersey Assembly Thursday and will now go to Christie for his consideration. It previously passed the state Senate.

The Republican governor and potential 2016 presidential candidate signed many firearms bills into law last year. But he issued conditional vetoes of some of the more contentious ones, including a ban on .50-caliber rifles. …

Sign away, fat boy. Drive those last few nails into the coffin of your Presidential aspirations.

[CGASMIA68]

New Town organizers are just that.....

[BenLurkin]

How many .50-caliber rifles have been used in school shootings?

“Sign away, fat boy. Drive those last few nails into the coffin of your Presidential aspirations.”

Christy-Cream is so stupid he probably thinks it’s a good thing.

Fat boi is a DemocRat.

I am so sick of a$$holes like the “newtown parents” trying to take my rights away. Just because some other moron killed their kids doesn’t give the the right to say what they wat without any criticism. To hell with them and their grief. I stopped feeling anything by disgust and dislike for the dumba$$es the minute they opened their stupid pieholes.

Supporters of the bill say the ammunition magazine limit could make mass shootings less deadly by requiring shooters to stop to reload more often, giving police and potential victims more time to react.

Reducing the magazine capacity by 5 rounds will make that big of a difference overall? These people are utterly insane.

I’m glad I live in one of the free states.

Kinda like the MAIGgots and mx. mark kelley-giffords coming to NV last legislative session pushing their BS through some asshat demokkkrat from vegas by the name of justin jones. It passed in the legislature but the Gov. vetoed it on some technicality he didn’t like. I’m pretty sure they’ll be back next session. I wasn’t as prepared as I should have been last time but you can bet I’m gonna make myself a pain in the ass next session. (The Mrs. already claims I am one so I’m just gonna spread the wealth. :>})

Christie must veto the bill if he wants to have any chance at the White House in 2016. (Or even a chance for the Naval Observatory.)

"Waving the bloody shirt" dates to at least 44 B.C. and still a disgusting political ploy.

Some please tell me how Chris Crazy is any different than a liberal Democrat.

Oh, that’s right. He’s a “moderate.”

[Elsiejay]

How many loaded clips did the Newtown shooter have at hand?

If the slain adults at Newtown could have a do-over, you can bet they’d prefer to face Adam Lanza with their own gun.

Your kids were killed by a madman so you want to make it easier for another madman to kill some more kids. Grief works in bizarre ways.

How many kids could have been saved if there was a teacher or officer with a gun at New town?

Me too

Because 10 dead children is WAY better than 15. /s

If these folks were serious, they’d be urging legislation to arm teachers.

I sure do wish the damn Newton parents would stop assailing my civil rights.
