Gun Rights Restoration Path Opens | Durham News

The Justice Department just launched a major new rule letting some felony convicts petition to restore their gun rights — a big win for Second Amendment advocates. After Congress blocked ATF from processing these applications since 1992, the administration is now creating an online portal to handle cases individually, weighing each person’s history and risk to public safety. It’s part of a broader push to loosen gun regulations, including stepping back from legal battles over suppressors.
