DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE
[Docket No. ODAG174]
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):
