TRENTON — The Assembly this afternoon plans to vote to send four gun control bills to Gov. Chris Christie’s desk.

The bills are not the most far-reaching ones of the dozens the Legislature has considered since the Sandy Hook school massacre in Connecticut, but they’re the first gun proposals from the Legislature to make it this far.

The measures would:

• Require the state to submit mental health incarceration records to a federal database (A3717).

• Give owners of illegal guns 180 days to dispose of them (A3796).

1. Good. And send him more legislation to make him commit or not to a run for President.

Force his corrupt hand.

2. Let this put a damper in his reelection bid

4. Not a chance.

Hurricane Sandy ensured Christie's re-election. The only thing this may put a damper on are his presidential ambitions.

6. Go Barbara Buono!

3. NJ has already the most restrictive gun laws in the nation

Even as an ex law enforcement person I got turned down for a permit.

5. Gov. Jim Florio banned all assault weapons in 1990

It was a shame he didn't get re-elected in '93. The $2.8 billion tax increase Florio pushed through the Democratic legislature his first year in office plagued him for the rest of his term.

7. I think they should be referred to as gun safety laws instead of gun control.
