"Chris Christie moves right on gun issues with veto

"One of the bills would have prohibited .50 caliber rifles in New Jersey. The weapon is described as a “long-range anti-material” and “anti-personnel” firearm that “provides an inexpensive means of neutralizing lightly armored targets,” according to the product description from one Phoenix, Arizona-based manufacturer. California is currently the only state to ban .50 caliber rifles."

The rest is at the link, but this is the paragraph that struck me as equivocal propaganda.

Is it just me?

1. Christie is not moving right, he was always Scott Walker right.

he vetoed Gay marriage, he is against unions and especially teachers unions, he is not in favor of medical marijuana and has been reluctant about that, he is pro fracking, he is...... ugh so sick of the media pretending he is a reasonable man.

2. Summed it up. The only thing which gave Christy a "progressive"

whiff was his enthusiastic support of aid for his home state during the hurricane, thus differentiating himself from the absolute FR blowholes.

3. I wonder how many crimes have been committed in California

(or New Jersey for that matter) with a .50 caliber center-fire rife?

4. Ahhh.....

...terrorists could use a .50 cal to shoot down an airliner.

5. Oh noes, Christe refuses to begin wanton banning of firearms

.50 cal rifles are a problem??? Of course the grabbers moral outrage at this is as laughable as their fact-free arguments supporting this nonsense.
