Gov. Chris Christie unveiled gun control and violence prevention measures that are as comprehensive as they are ambitious, reports NJ 101.5.
The plan calls for expanding New Jersey’s already strict gun control laws, expanding government-funded mental health treatment, making it more difficult for kids buy or rent violent video games, requiring that would-be gun owners show government-issued IDs and bolstering penalties for gun-related crimes.
But bizarrely, Christie seems to recognize that this isn't likely to take the guns out of the hands of the bad guys.
“It’s hard for me to sit here today and say, ‘If all these things got imposed we’d see an ‘X’ percentage drop in gun violence in this state.’ I don’t know,” said Christie. “Bad people are going to do bad things and so, would greater penalties deter people? You hope they do."

Christie is an f*cking former US Attorney. His bill is designed to keep the prosecutor's office in business, making criminals out of innocent people.
