The Department of Justice has quietly reactivated a long-dormant initiative that allows convicted felons to regain their gun ownership rights. Among those benefiting from the restored program is someone who allegedly participated as a fraudulent elector in the 2020 election.
Federal officials have discretely resumed a program that had been inactive for decades, one designed to restore firearm ownership privileges to individuals with felony convictions. The initiative has already processed cases for several people, including someone accused of serving as a fraudulent elector during the 2020 presidential election.
The Department of Justice’s decision to reactivate this restoration process marks a significant shift in policy regarding gun rights for those with criminal backgrounds. The program had remained largely unused for years before being brought back into operation.
Details about the specific cases being processed and the criteria used for approval have not been made publicly available by federal authorities. The revival of this program represents a notable change in how the current administration approaches the intersection of criminal justice and Second Amendment rights.
