Phil Murphy in 2020 NJ Senatorial race

On Gun Control: Reduce maximum magazine size from 15 rounds to 10

killed last year in accidental gun deaths in which the shooter was five years old or younger--deaths that personalized, smart gun technology would prevent.The gun violence epidemic is nothing short of a public health crisis. And yet, Governor Christie continues to stand in the way of sensible reforms. These bipartisan measures would have kept guns out of the hands of gang members, restricted the size of gun magazines, and prohibited the sale of .50-caliber rifles. Gov. Phil Murphy, who is expected to sign the bill, was also the object of scorn. One lady held up a sign that said Murphy "shreds" the Constitution; another sign depicted the governor with a dunce cap on his head.

The problem, according to many people in the crowd was between the government and its overzealous regulation of firearms, and with the criminals, who have got plenty of guns at their disposal.
