Members’ Newsletter: DOJ Drops Gun-Rights Restoration Plan
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has released a proposed rule to implement a gun-rights restoration process, reviving a program aimed at enabling certain former convicts to regain their firearm rights. The 48-page proposal outlines eligibility criteria, prescriptive offenses, and application procedures. Individuals with serious disqualifying offenses will generally be ineligible, while others must wait five to ten years after serving their sentences. The DOJ expects around one million applicants in the first year, proposing a fee of $20, and intends to hire 50 staff members for application processing. However, many details about the application process remain unresolved, and funding support from Congress is uncertain. The article also discusses a recent legal ruling involving the NRA and its implications.
