Joe Scarborough slams Chris Christie on guns

Joe Scarborough on Tuesday slammed New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s refusal to meet with the parents of the Sandy Hook shooting, calling his defense one of the “stupidest arguments” he’s ever heard.
The Republican governor declined to meet with the families of children who were killed in the December 2012 shooting at Connecticut’s Sandy Hook Elementary School, who wanted to discuss gun control legislation. Christie last week vetoed a state bill that would have banned ammunition magazines that held more than 10 rounds.

Scarborough said that Christie’s decision was politically motivated, since as a more moderate figure he would have had a more difficult time defending the veto than a tea party figure like Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.
“When you have to push yourself to defend extreme positions, these are the things you have to do,” Scarborough said.
“I think Ted Cruz could sit there and articulate why he would oppose this gun law. I’m sure he’s thought about it a lot. … I don’t think Chris Christie can,” he said, adding that the veto was about “political expediency” and one Christie likely doesn’t “intellectually” agree with.
