He only COMMUTED the sentence of Brian Aitken.

Christie is a lying SOS.

Father sent to jail and barred from seeing his son.... after he was found with unloaded gun .

A desperate father has been banned from seeing his young son for four years after he was found with an unloaded gun he legally owned in the back of his car among his possessions as he moved house. Brian Aitken was arrested in 2009 as he was moving back from Colorado to New Jersey to be near his child after a divorce. He was later convicted of possessing a gun and sentenced to seven years’ prison. Now the New York University graduate and digital media entrepreneur is using a crowdfunding website to raise funds so he can write a book about his ordeal and hopefully be reunited with his little boy. The saga began when Aitken’s mother called 911 after he arrived with his possessions piled high at her house in New Jersey, but she didn’t complete the call. The police arrived regardless and after questioning her she explained that she was concerned for Aitken’s welfare following his divorce.

The officers then called Aitken, who by that stage had left, and coerced him to return. When he arrived, the officers searched his car and found three locked, unloaded handguns in the trunk. He was then arrested.

The states would get together and sign “individually” a general rule saying....if you are legal in the state that is your residence, you are legal in all states on a temporary basis. But with a provision....if you transfer the gun, it must be within the state where it is/was licensed.

Hey, if Texas is required to recognize queer marriages, then all states should be required to recognize permitted weapons from other states!!!!!

This is like a drunk offering to pay you another $100 to borrow your car,
after he brings it back wrecked the first time and didn't pay you.

Yea, why talk and not walk the walk... He's using Dem tactics like
the GOP is doing. Lies.

Understandable. But the term should be exonerate.

The take-away from this article isn't anything Christie said or did. Note, he hasn't actually pardoned anyone yet. He just promised that he would "likely" pardon some law abiding people who are being persecuted under NJ law. And we all know what a politician's promise is worth.

The important thing about the article is that it suggests that people in NJ are beginning to recognize how out of step NJ is with the rest of the country.

It sort of reminds me of Houston in the early '60s. While most places in The South were digging in their heel on segregation, Houston traded Jim Crow for a national league baseball franchise and a major space center. You have to wonder what it would take to get New Jersey to abandon their unconstitutional, oppressive laws that promote violence and threaten the freedom of innocent people?

A good move by Christie to try to gain a little Second Amendment credibility.

I think it is a bit too late. Second Amendment supporters have a long memory.

Go eat a doughnut and go out to the bridge you closed...

Prolonging the lefty lie. If he'd had anything to do with it, we'd be hearing about results of investigations, not just accusations. The investigations showed nothing, so it's not "news".

The Second Amendment does not provide for "licensed". What part of "shall not be infringed" is unclear?
