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 Attorney General has 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 is 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.
