The DOJ has initiated a 90-day comment period for a new rule that could allow certain non-violent felons to regain federal firearm rights. This proposal revives a program established by Section 925(c) of the Gun Control Act of 1968, which was defunded in 1992. The new rule outlines strict criteria, including completion of sentence, waiting periods (5-10 years depending on offense), and a clean record post-sentence. The application process will involve an online portal, FBI background checks, and a discretionary decision by the Attorney General. However, federal approval does not guarantee state-level restoration, potentially leading to legal conflicts.
