KEANSBURG, N.J. (AP) - Gov. Chris Christie on Monday defended his decision to veto legislation that would have imposed stricter limits on gun ammunition magazines in the state. Speaking at an unrelated press conference, the Republican governor slammed the bill, which would have reduced the legal magazine capacity in the state from 15 rounds to 10.

Christie said he had already signed the veto by the time the family members had arrived, and said he thought it would have been "hypocritical" for him to sit down with them at that point. "I understand their argument. I've heard their argument. I don't agree with their argument," he said, making the case that "the logical conclusion of their argument" would be to ban guns completely.

But Mark Barden, whose son, Daniel, was killed in the shooting and was among those who made the trip, said he'd been trying to set up a meeting with the governor since May to talk parent-to-parent about the bill. He said Christie had it wrong. "We're not calling for a ban. We're calling for reasonable solutions," said Barden. "We're trying to bring the numbers down."

He was in the building when the Sandy Hook parents were there, according to Rachel. Christie is paid for by gun industry stooge and a total coward.
