The Justice Department has approved Mel Gibson‘s rights to own guns again after a 2011 domestic violence conviction.
Attorney General Pam Bondi approved the restoration of the actor’s gun rights, along with nine other people, the New York Times reported.
Gibson, who in January was named a “special ambassador” to Hollywood by President Trump along with Jon Voight and Sylvester Stallone, would be permitted to own firearms again depending on state laws. Gibson is a resident of Nevada, which prohibits felons owning guns, but Gibson’s conviction was a misdemeanor.
