His case has become a battleground for gun control advocates and opponents alike after he was sentenced to seven years in prison. On 20 December 2010, New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed a letter ordering the immediate release of Aitken from Mid-State Correctional Facility.〔(www.philly.com/dailynews/breaking/news/20101220_Christie_frees_man_in_gun_case.html ).〕 For about a year, from January 2011 through January 2012, Aitken was the Director of New Media for America's oldest free market organization, the Foundation for Economic Education〔(www.pitchengine.com/brian-aitken-announces-new-position-with-liberty-think-tank/120538 ). 〕 and has spoken openly about freedom and liberty.〔(studentsforliberty.org/news/brian-aitken-the-2011-international-sfl-conference ).〕〔(articles.philly.com/2011-02-12/news/28530840_1_hoboken-tea-party-politics ).〕 On March 30, 2012 two of the three convictions were overturned by the New Jersey Superior Court, Appellate Division and on April 4, 2012 the State of New Jersey dismissed the outstanding charge of 'Illegal Possession of Firearms'. Four years after Governor Christie issued Aitken Executive Clemency, Aitken crowdfunded over $40,000 to write his memoir by pre-selling over one-thousand copies of his to-be-released book.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/help-me-publish-my-book-take-my-case-to-the-supreme-court-and-get-my-son-back )〕 Funding from the Indiegogo campaign also went towards petitioning the United States Supreme Court and towards the effort of getting custody of his son back.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.crowdfundinsider.com/2013/10/25177-brian-aitken-crowdfunding-campaign-closes-40000-intends-petition-supreme-court/ )〕 ==Background== A digital media entrepreneur,〔(briandaitken.com/2010/01/entrepreneur-growth-2-0-conference-miami ). 〕 Aitken has partnered with companies like Patrón, Gibson Guitars, Mercedes-Benz, and BMW 〔 and received his executive education from the NYU Stern School of Business.

After his divorce, he returned to New Jersey where he had attended college to be near his young son and other family members. During the course of his move back to New Jersey he made several trips by commercial airline to and from Colorado. Prior to the last trip he sought clearance from the United States Department of Homeland Security Transportation Security Administration to transport three handguns in his checked luggage. This clearance was granted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Brian Aitken」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
