Big Government, Chris Christie's big dilemma highlighted by gun control bills

Christie has big appetites. He shows it in his out-sized appearance and now he has exhibited again by signing some meaningless gun control measures that do nothing but make honest citizens more vulnerable and ease fears of criminals about people defending themselves. He is waiting on others.
Christie is ambitious. His outsize appetite for power is demonstrated by his approve more worthless gun control in a state that already broaches on unconstitutional gun restrictions. Christie, as with other "renegade," duplicitous Republicans as with McCain and Graham,feeds his appetite for power with Media Approval, false proclamations about controlling unions, property taxes and the size of government. He wastes additional millions for his own public service announcements, featuring, who else, Chris Christie. He became a toady for Obama, who gave him false promises, that is all he ever gives, and a hug from Springsteen.Now he wants, what else, amnesty for illegal aliens. Christie, for all his bigger government appetite, has gotten fed what he wants, Democrat and Press popularity.
Wait until he runs against a Democrat for National office. He may shed some pounds along with that fleeting popularity. m/r

Christie has not tipped his hand as to whether he will sign or veto the other five bills, which include an outright ban on the sale of the highest caliber rifle currently available to civilians.
