Never mind the stomach band and commensurate weight loss....here is a real indication of Governor Christie aiming at the primaries....
1. "N.J. Gov. Chris Christie vetoes bill to decrease capacity of gun magazines
2. ...says the state should focus instead on improving its mental health system.
3. .....Christie has vetoed a bill that would have reduced the capacity of gun magazines from 15 to 10 bullets.
4. Gun control advocates and Democrats had pushed the bill....
5. ....opposed by advocates of gun rights including the National Rifle Association.
6. ....reform in name only. It simply defies common sense to believe that imposing a new and entirely arbitrary number of bullets that can be lawfully loaded into a firearm will somehow eradicate, or even reduce, future instances of mass violence, Christie said.
7. With a 15-bullet limit, New Jersey was already among the handful of states limiting the capacity of magazines, but gun control proponents wanted it reduced to 10, the number in most of the other states with such controls.
8. In his veto message, Christie said those who commit mass violence are often individuals in crisis falling through the broken safety nets of screening, treatment and commitment and that a responsible approach would focus on mental health, ...
9. He also called for a new standard for involuntary commitment to a treatment program..."
