(b)  In determining whether to grant relief, the court must hear and consider evidence about:
(1)  the circumstances that led to imposition of the firearms disability under 18 U.S.C. Section 922(g)(4);
(2)  the person's mental history;
(3)  the person's criminal history; and
(4)  the person's reputation.
(c)  A court may not grant relief unless it makes and enters in the record the following affirmative findings:
(1)  the person is no longer likely to act in a manner dangerous to public safety; and
(2)  removing the person's disability to purchase a firearm is in the public interest.
