Who will replace Sessions?

Post by bignflnut »

CBS News has learned former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie is being considered to replace Jeff Sessions as attorney general.

Two sources familiar with the matter tell CBS News White House Correspondent Major Garrett that outgoing Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi, former New York City Mayor and President Donald Trump’s lawyer Rudy Giuliani, and former Attorney General William Barr, who served under President George H. W. Bush, are also on the list, which is expected to grow.
When we last saw Chris Christie, he was signing anti RKBA legislation on his way out the door in NJ.
Christie signed legislation sponsored by Democratic Sens. Raymond Lesniak and Richard Codey and Senate Majority Leader Loretta Weinberg to ban the sale and possession of "bump stocks" and "trigger cranks," accessories that dramatically increase the rate of fire for rifles and effectively convert guns into fully automatic weapons.

A bump stock was used by the Las Vegas gunman in an attack that killed 58 people last year and wounded more than 500 others.

"These are simple, easy-to-use devices that increase the firepower and killing power of firearms," said Lesniak, a prime sponsor of the bill. "The Las Vegas gunman used one and the consequences were tragic. The rapid and indiscriminate rate of shooting can be deadly. There is no legitimate need for these devices."
So, that bumpstock ban by the DOJ/ATF is still on, then?
