Sweeney Reverses Stand on Gun-Control Measure
New Jersey News | Feb 24, 2014
New Jersey lawmakers are trying once again to reduce the number of bullets a gun magazine can hold - from 15 to 10.
Last year, Senate President Steve Sweeney blocked a measure to reduce the number of bullets a gun’s ammo clip could hold.
Now, he’s standing with parents of children killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary shooting who support a new bill to reduce gun magazine capacity in the Garden State.
And Sweeney’s hoping Governor Christie will reconsider the issue, too. "If I can change, he can change too," says Sweeney.
Sweeney describes himself as a sportsman. He says he changed his mind after hearing that 11 children were able to escape when the Sandy Hook gunman stopped to reload.
