Mel Gibson’s Gun Rights Restored Following Justice Department Attorney’s Firing
The U.S. Justice Department has reportedly reversed its decision not to reinstate Mel Gibson's gun rights after a 2011 domestic violence misdemeanor.
Gibson’s victory comes after Elizabeth G. Oyer, a high-ranking Justice Department pardon attorney, said she was fired just a day after she noted her lack of a recommendation for the actor’s restoration of his gun rights. 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. Later, he described the events as “terribly humiliating and painful for my family,” adding that he has “never treated anyone badly or in a discriminatory way based on their gender, race, religion or sexuality.”
