US DOJ creates new pathway to start respecting gun rights of some convicted of felonies

Source: SFGate

“The Justice Department finalized a rule Monday that will pave the way for people who’ve been barred from owning firearms because of criminal convictions to apply to have their gun rights reinstated [sic]. The process launched by newly confirmed Attorney General Todd Blanche is a victory for Second Amendment advocates who have long pushed for nonviolent people with felony convictions to be given a pathway to regain [sic] their legal right to own firearms. … The Justice Department moved earlier this year to roll back and modify a slate of gun regulations. Separately, the department recently decided against challenging a court ruling that struck down regulations on firearm suppressors and certain guns.” [editor’s note: Rights can’t be “reinstated” or “regained.” They can just be respected or violated – TLK] (08/17/26)
