1Opinion of the Court
COLINS, Judge.
Herein we must consider the juxtaposition of the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act (State Act),3 18 Pa.C.S. § 6101, and the Federal Gun Control Act, 18 U.S.C. § 922(g),4 on the civil rights of the citizens *1095of our Commonwealth. We conclude that the position advanced by the Commonwealth, ie., that common pleas court cannot grant a Commonwealth citizen relief from the restrictions imposed by Section 922(g) of the Federal Gun Control Act,5 is without merit. Accordingly, we shall affirm the decision of the Administrative Law Judge (ALJ).
