gun rights were restored without even a hearing
Advertisements [?]
"For years, Zettergren had been barred from possessing firearms because of two felony convictions. He had a history of mental health problems, and friends said he was dangerous. Yet Zettergren's gun rights were restored without even a hearing"

"In February 2005, Erik Zettergren came home from a party after midnight with his girlfriend and another couple. They had all been drinking heavily, and soon the other man and Zettergren's girlfriend passed out on his bed. When Zettergren went to check on them later, he found his girlfriend naked from the waist down and the other man, Jason Robinson, with his pants around his ankles. Enraged, Zettergren ordered Robinson to leave. After a brief confrontation, Zettergren shot him in the temple at point-blank range with a Glock-17 semiautomatic handgun."
