The Department of Justice has announced the restoration of federal firearms privileges for certain individuals. The Attorney General reviewed each case and determined that these individuals are not likely to pose a threat to public safety and that allowing them firearms privileges is in the public interest. This relief is part of the provisions under the Gun Control Act of 1968, which allows those previously prohibited from handling firearms to apply for such a restoration. The decision affects several individuals, including Judy Broach and Mel Gibson, among others.
