[NORTHJERSEY] It's been a year and a half since gun control supporters began pushing for a new 10-round limit on the capacity of gun magazines in New Jersey. They've held rallies, lobbied politicians and brought parents of Sandy Hook Elementary School victims to Trenton over and over again.
On Thursday, the bill made it out of the Legislature after its supporters won a 44-34 vote in the Assembly. It now heads to Governor Christie's desk, where it faces an uncertain future as the Republican governor positions himself for a possible presidential run.
"This has not been without heartache," Assemblyman Lou Greenwald, D-Camden, said at a news conference Thursday as he was flanked by two Sandy Hook parents. |
