Granting of Relief; Federal Firearms Privileges

AGENCY: Department of Justice.

ACTION: Notice of granting of restoration of Federal firearms 
privileges.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: The Attorney General has granted relief from disabilities 
imposed by Federal laws with respect to certain individuals regarding 
the acquisition, receipt, transfer, shipment, transportation, or 
possession of firearms or ammunition.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The Attorney General is responsible for 
enforcing the provisions of the Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), 18 
U.S.C. Chapter 44. Section 922(g) of title 18 of the United States Code 
prohibits certain persons from shipping or transporting ``in interstate 
or foreign commerce, or possess[ing] in or affecting commerce, any 
firearm or ammunition; or [from] receiv[ing] any firearm or ammunition 
which has been shipped or transported in interstate or foreign 
commerce.'' Section 925(c) of title 18 provides that a person who is 
prohibited under section 922(g) may make an application to the Attorney 
General to remove the firearms disabilities if it is established to the 
Attorney General's satisfaction that the circumstances regarding the 
disability, and the applicant's record and reputation, are such that 
the applicant will not be likely to act in a manner dangerous to public 
safety and that the granting of the relief would not be contrary to the 
public interest. Section 925(c) also provides that whenever the 
Attorney General grants relief to any person pursuant to this section, 
she ``shall promptly publish in the Federal Register notice of such 
action, together with the reasons therefor.''
    The former Attorney General had reviewed all the relevant facts for 
each individual listed below, including the materials that each 
individual submitted seeking either a pardon or relief from Federal 
firearms disabilities, and it was 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. Accordingly, on March 30, 
2026, the former Attorney General granted relief from Federal firearms 
disabilities to these individuals pursuant to section 925(c):
