Frequently Asked Questions

What is the legal basis for restoring Second Amendment rights to prohibited persons?

The primary legal basis is 18 USC 925C, which allows individuals prohibited under 18 USC 922G to apply to the Attorney General for the removal of firearms disabilities, provided they meet criteria related to public safety and the public interest.

How did the Trump administration overcome the ATF's inability to restore gun rights?

A congressional budget rider since 1992 prevented the ATF from using funds for rights restoration. The Trump administration circumvented this by transferring the authority to the Attorney General, allowing the Department of Justice to proceed with the process.

Where are the names of individuals whose Second Amendment rights have been restored published?

According to 18 USC 925C, whenever the Attorney General grants relief, she must promptly publish notice of the action, along with the reasons, in the Federal Register. This ensures transparency and official record-keeping.

What are the criteria for an individual to have their federal firearms rights restored?

The applicant must establish to the Attorney General's satisfaction that they will not likely act in a manner dangerous to public safety and that granting relief would not be contrary to the public interest. This involves reviewing the circumstances of the disability and the applicant's record and reputation.
