With just a day left of his tenure, Gov. Chris Christie announced Monday that he has signed 109 new bills into law, including one that places additional restrictions on gun ownership.

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, effectively converting guns into fully automatic weapons.

"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."
