What has he done?
Banned from driving since 1981 But still got himself in to DWI's, Accused of hitting more than one of his girlfriend and charges were brought for Misdemeanor Battery, Anti Semitic anti Gay, Pro Trump, so why not giving a gun he might need it on his next fight with a girl friend. He is an alcoholic that looses control of the mouth and hands. Fingers are on the hand will say no more.
The Justice Department’s pardon attorney was dismissed a day after she refused to recommend that the actor Mel Gibson, a prominent supporter of President Trump’s, should have his gun rights restored, according to the attorney and others familiar with the situation.
Elizabeth G. Oyer, the former pardon attorney, described the sequence of events as an alarming departure from longstanding practice, one that put public safety and the department’s integrity at risk. Mr. Gibson had lost his gun rights as a result of a 2011 domestic violence misdemeanor conviction.
“This is dangerous. This isn’t political — this is a safety issue,” Ms. Oyer said in an interview with The New York Times as she described the internal discussions about whether to give gun rights back to people with domestic violence convictions.
Ms. Oyer’s account of a series of Justice Department discussions about guns, domestic violence and star power was confirmed by two other people familiar with the events, speaking on the condition of anonymity because they feared retaliation.
