High-Ranking Justice Department Attorney Alleges She Was Fired For Disputing Reinstatement Of Mel Gibson’s Gun Rights
A high-ranking Justice Department attorney says she was fired a day after she opposed a recommendation for Mel Gibson's restoration of his gun rights.
The official, Elizabeth G. Oyer, alleged she was explicitly told the reinstatement should come due to Gibson’s status as a newly appointed special ambassador to Hollywood, alongside colleagues Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone. Per federal law, those convicted of crimes — including felonies and some domestic violence misdemeanors — are generally prohibited from purchasing or owning firearms. Then came the request to add Gibson to the ledger, along with a letter from his lawyer arguing for his gun rights to be reinstated as a result of his special appointment and success in the film industry.
