Again, using his position as leader of his State's party to influence and propose legislation IS within his power.
Again:

Perhaps, but the governor still can't pass legislation by himself. Given that the NJ legislature just passed a new TEN shot restriction, the odds that it would repeal the existing 15 round restriction would seem to be nil, no matter what Christie did.

As Chief Exectuive, any number of other things are in his power, like opening up the May Issue aspects of the Concealed Carry Permit through his position over the superintendent of the State Police.
Yet again:

Whether he's a good RKBA candidate is another issue...

I'm not trying to say that Christie is necessarily an ideal RKBA candidate. I'm just addressing his "failure" to repeal the 15 round restriction. It seems obvious that the legislature wouldn't vote for such a repeal no matter what Christie did and if they didn't vote for it, he couldn't sign it into law. Therefore criticizing him for not repealing the 15 round ban is unrealistic. That's my point and my entire point.
