The "Lethal Weapon" star lost his firearm rights as a result of a 2011 domestic violence conviction. A former Department of Justice employee says that a dispute over Mel Gibson and lethal weapons led to her firing.

Elizabeth G. Oyer, the former U.S. pardon attorney, reportedly says she was fired after she opposed restoring Mel Gibson's gun rights.

A Justice Department attorney details how she was fired, one day after refusing to go along with a request from her bosses to recommend that Gibson’s gun rights be restored.
