The #Trump admin is creating a path for people with #criminal #convictions to own #guns again.
The policy drew controversy last year, in part because of #DOJ’s decision to restore gun rights to actor #MelGibson, a prominent Trump supporter who has a conviction for #battery against a former girlfriend. #GunControl groups who opposed to move have said the issue threatens #PublicSafety, especially when restoring gun rights to those with #DomesticViolence convictions.
