Scores of Victorians who had firearm licences revoked after being accused of stalking and beating their partners were handed their guns back last year, raising fears women are being put at real risk of harm or death at the hands of violent ex-partners.

According to previously unpublished data, 87 people who'd previously been banned from owning or using a firearm were granted approval by the courts to have their firearm licences reinstated in 2015-16, a rate of more than one a week.

Eighty-seven Victorians had their firearm licences reinstated in 2015-16.

Many of them were men convicted of family violence or stalking offences.

Domestic Violence Victoria chief executive Fiona McCormack said the figures were "obviously really concerning".
