The US Department of Justice has published proposed rules to restore Second Amendment rights to certain non-violent felons, a move predicted by constitutional attorney Mark Smith. This administrative process aims to address individuals prohibited from firearm possession under 18 USC 922G, particularly those convicted of non-violent offenses, by focusing on current dangerousness rather than past convictions. The initiative is framed as a restoration of rights consistent with Supreme Court precedent like the Raheem case and Third Circuit rulings.

This video discusses a federal court ruling in West Virginia where Judge Joseph Goodwin declared 18 USC 922k, which prohibits the possession of firearms with obliterated serial numbers, unconstitutional under the Second Amendment. The ruling was based on the Supreme Court's decision in NYSera v. Bruen, emphasizing historical tradition dating back to 1791. The judge found no historical analog for such a ban on individual possession, distinguishing it from regulations on commercial firearm transactions. The case of Randy Price, who was indicted under this statute, was dismissed.
