Christie granted 26 orders for clemency, almost all pardons, bringing his eight-year total of such actions to just 55. Among those granted relief were media consultant Brian Aitken and Marine Sgt. Hisashi Pompey, men who had been arrested and found guilty of criminal weapon possession even though they had clear records and owned guns legally bought outside the state.

NJ.com reported of the list of 26 granted clemency last week, at least seven others — Meghan Fellenbaum, Brandon Fregm, Brian Murphy, Adrian Rubio, Antonio Scott, Angel Cordero and Christopher O’Sullivan — were pardoned over unlawful possession of a weapon.

I was never much of a fan of Christie, especially after he sucked up to odongo.
But I’ll give the man an A+ for this one.

Too little too late, and remember the eleven anti-2nd Amendment laws he “happily” signed into law..

What were those laws?

I remember a couple had to do with gun sales, as in, if guns were stolen from a gun shop, the owner/manager was required to report the theft within 24 hours instead of 48 hours. Not exactly sure how this law is anti 2nd amendment. Not a law that I am going to lose sleep over.
