Gang members have right to bear arms too. That thought may be the one running through Gov. Chris Christie's head when he vetoed a law in his home state of New Jersey which will prevent convicted gang members from buying guns.

Despite being supported by both Republican and Democratic law makers, the bill, known as A4182, failed to get Christie's signature. The bill would have prevented convicted gang members, carjackers, or just anyone convicted of making terrorists threats from purchasing a gun in the state of New Jersey.

State Assemblyman Timothy Eustace, one of the bill's sponsors said that, "The purpose of the bill was to make New Jersey safer. We were elected to take care of the people of New Jersey," NJ.com reported.

Mashable noted that the bill was unanimously passed back in June, with no one from the either the Assembly or the Senate, voting against it.

Eustace said that Christie's presidential ambitions was the main reason why he failed to sign the bill. According to him, before the governor was running for the presidency, he has "signed reasonable legislation," but apparently, now he does not.

With a crowded GOP party, and the presidential race tightening up, Eustace said that Christie does not even care about the state of New Jersey anymore.

Christie was also called out regarding his frequent "change of heart" when it comes to policies. According to reports, before he was running for president, he used to favor immigration reform that offers undocumented immigrants a path to citizenship, but now, he's not.

Apart from that, he also called Planned Parenthood a worthy cause and even said that he would donate money himself.

But arguably the biggest shocker from the New Jersey governor's changing stance is his view on gun control, an issue that the Democrats have been advocating for. It should be noted that Christie is currently trailing in the polls, and was even criticized before regarding his "non-conservative" stance with important issues.

Before, Christie declared that he fully supports New Jersey's already tight gun control laws, but ever since he declared his intention to run for president, he began to sing a different tune.

Christie's spokeswoman Joelle Farrell just gave a "non-answer" response about the issue. According to her, "Nothing on the specific rationale for this bill, other than this with respect to the pocket veto period in general."

The governor himself has yet to directly comment regarding the issue, but for now, Tony Soprano will be very pleased.
