Mel Gibson Reloaded: Gets His Rights Restored

Actor Mel Gibson and nine others finally had their firearm rights restored.

Gibson lost the privilege after a 2011 domestic violence conviction and personally appealed to President Trump.

AG Pam Bondi’s office then concluded that he should have his rights back.

Looks like another win for the 2nd Amendment.

New York Post reports:

Actor Mel Gibson’s firearm privileges were restored along with nine others, including a former NFL Hall of Famer for the Jets, after losing their rights over decades-old crime convictions.

Gibson, who had been prohibited from purchasing guns following a 2011 domestic violence conviction, had appealed to President Trump to restore his rights earlier this year.

Attorney General Pam Bondi’s office said the AG “established to her satisfaction that each individual will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that the granting of the relief to each individual would not be contrary to the public interest.”

Gibson, 69, saw his rights restored after an upheaval in the Justice Department last month when pardon attorney Liz Oyer had refused to add his name to a pilot program looking at 95 non-violent offenders hoping to get their rights back.

She was then fired on March 7, claiming she was given no official reason for her termination and appealed the decision.

And here’s Elizabeth Oyer, saying she was fired after she refused to help Mel Gibson get his rights back.
