US Justice Department Establishes Process to Restore Gun Rights for Some Felons
The US Justice Department, under Attorney General Todd Blanche, finalized a rule allowing some individuals with felony convictions to apply for restoration of their federal gun rights. The new process, accessible via an online portal, evaluates applicants case-by-case to balance Second Amendment rights with public safety. Certain groups, such as undocumented immigrants and violent offenders, remain excluded. This initiative is part of the Trump administration's broader efforts to ease firearms restrictions while maintaining safety considerations.
