Pythagoras 2 Posted February 22, 2013 The lack of a grandfather clause should make this bill 100% unacceptable under the Fourth. Remember, the Fourth is not only about searches but also seizures, which is effectively what this bill causes. On the one hand, I would love to see it vetoed for a lack of grandfathering. But on the other hand, the anti-gunners are so out of touch they'll want it passed anyway. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Black Ops 1 Posted February 22, 2013 10 rounds received 29 "Nay" votes. That's too many "Nay" votes for the Democrats to override a veto. If Christie told his Republicans to vote "Nay", he's not going to sign a bill after he asked them vote against it for him. Christie is the one calling the shots here. Most of his Republicans voted the way they did way because that's what they believe. But he also has a few Volvo Republicans and soccer moms who don't know a 15 round magazine from a Pez dispenser and they did what he told them to do. IMHO, anything with fewer than 27 "Nay" votes, he signs. Anything with 27 or more "Nay" votes he vetoes. He's not going to ask them to go out on a limb for him and then saw off the limb by signing it. Where can I find the vote counts for each bill? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A reasonable concern is that if everyone who has received a FPID since 1966 needs to apply for a picture ID every 5 years, and there is no increase in manpower to process the applications, the waiting time is going to increase from weeks/months to eons. The bill will cost a ton of money that the state and municipalities don't have, and it's a redundancy with the NICS -- this one should be high up on the veto list. At 49 "Yeas" on A3772 the Democrats would be 5 votes shy of the 54 votes necessary to override a veto while the Republicans are just one vote shy of the 27 "Nays" to sustain a veto. But "A" was 0. Did someone step out? It also looks like only 77 were present for most of the votes. The assembly is 48 D, 32 R -- so it looks like there were a few Republican crossovers to The Dark Side and several Ds did not attend the session. Has Christie signed anything that a majority of his Republicans voted against? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bob2222 317 Posted March 2, 2013 I promise that if Christie signs any of this into law he will never get my vote again for any office whatsoever. Based on the most recent polls, Christie should be a shoo-in for reelection in November no matter what he does with these bills. Your vote and my vote are pretty much irrelevant. The question in New Jersey is how long will his coat tails be with respect to the state legislature. My guess is the latest NJ district gerrymander makes them not long enough for the Republicans to take control. So it doesn't matter if he vetoes these bills, and annoys a few soccer moms and Volvo Republicans. But that's just my guess. The second question is the 2016 Republican primaries, and specifically red state Republican primary voters. I realize I'm guilty of stereotyping, but how do you think the cast of "Swamp People" would react to a fat, Catholic, pro-life governor with an accent? (Louisiana has been electing fat, Catholic, pro-life governors with an accent since the Dawn Of Time.) How do you think the cast of "Swamp People" would react to a fat, Catholic, pro-life governor with an accent who signed 22 gun control bills, including a 10 round magazine limit?

TheSingularity 0 Posted March 3, 2013 Christie has already irreversibly damaged his image in the eyes of conservatives around the country. Accepting the Obamacare Medicaid expansion, and the $60 billion Sandy federal aid package, to be specific. In my opinion, as difficult as it is to come to grips with this thought, the 10 round mag limit is as good as law. In a strange way, Sandy caused damage to a lot more than we originally might have thought. Namely, Christie's core political principles, and our 2nd Amendment rights here in NJ.

Geek 4 Posted March 3, 2013 By 2016 Hurricane Sandy will be old news, but NJ residents will still be living with whatever gun laws we have then. People in Wyoming won't care about Hurricane relief but they sure won't vote for gun control. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bob2222 317 Posted March 4, 2013 Interesting take on all this. http://blog.nj.com/n...er_the_gun.html March 3, 2013 And if they were hoping to put the Republican governor on the hot seat, again they accomplished the exact opposite. That seat is now occupied by the highest-ranking Democrat in the state. That’s Senate President Steve Sweeney. Those 22 bills have now landed in his lap courtesy of his colleagues in the Assembly. And that puts him in a pickle. Sweeney is no North Jersey liberal. He’s an ironworker from a part of the state that still has a Wild West flavor to it, right down to the rodeo located within a short drive of his Gloucester County home. The gun guys feel a lot friendlier to him than to Gov. Chris Christie, who grew up in what they consider to be effete Essex County. "The guys down south are very, very serious about their shooting sports and their hunting, not like the people in the northern part of the state," said Al Dolce of the Central Jersey Rifle and Pistol Club in Jackson. Dolce said he met with the senator before Sweeney ascended to his current position, and "He assured me that if he was Senate president, there would be no anti-gun legislation passed out of the Senate."
