Congressional Democrats oppose restored gun rights for convicted individuals | Fox 11 Tri Cities Fox 41 Yakima

In a recent move, the Trump administration has faced backlash for restoring gun rights to ten individuals with criminal convictions, including actor Mel Gibson, who has a history of domestic violence. Senator Patty Murray and five other Democrats sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, asserting that this action is illegal as it transfers the authority to restore gun rights from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) to the Attorney General, violating the separation of powers principle. Historically, Congress has prohibited the ATF from processing applications to restore gun rights for convicted individuals. The Democrats have emphasized the risks associated with allowing individuals convicted of serious crimes to possess firearms and urged the Justice Department to revoke the rights restored to these ten individuals.
