President Obama has granted pardons to 17 people, the White House announced Friday.
One of the men pardoned on Friday was
convicted of possession of an unregistered firearm. This, of course,
comes as the White House pushes for strict gun control legislation.
Larry Wayne Thornton of Forsyth, Ga.,
was reportedly sentenced to four years of probation for “possession of
an unregistered firearm” as well as “possession of a firearm without a
serial number.”
This is the third batch of pardons
Obama has issued since taking office in 2008. Some of the other offenses
include cocaine possession, food stamp fraud, conspiracy to defraud the
Immigration and Naturalization Service and even stealing cable
television signals.
