Trump DOJ

The Trump administration has taken aim for the biggest move in United States history for the Second Amendment. Starting September 25th 2026, people convicted of non violent felony offenses can now apply to restore their firearm rights back.

This is crucial, no administration in the history of the United States has manufactured a brilliant plan for all those who have been done wrong by the system when it comes to firearm rights. Often governments have left the burden to positions of power to decided whether you qualify for restoration and now it all goes into your hands.

The U.S. recorded roughly 1.2 million violent offenses, with no exception violent crimes don't get the benefit of being forgiven but on the other hand, people who made stupid choices in life of no violence get a chance for revival.

Burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson) regularly exceed 6 million offenses annually, resulting in a macro ratio of approximately 1 violent crime for every 5 to 6 non-violent property crimes.

This isn't a ticket to get out of crime all together wether non violent or not. As the DOJ has put out the requirements to qualify. Which consist of any application will be denied, absent extraordinary circumstances, if you are:

1.) awaiting sentencing for any crime;

2.) incarcerated or serving any part of a sentence;

Permanent convicted persons are prohibited by law.

Your application will be denied, absent extraordinary circumstances, if: any of your prior applications were denied based on a permanent presumptive disqualifier; or within the last 5 years, any of your prior applications were denied based on a reason other than a presumptive disqualifier; or a presumptive disqualifier that was applicable to you because of a 5-year reapplication presumptive disqualifier; or your status of having been denied by a relief-from-disability program.

On the bright side of the firearm restoration implementation, if you are not listed in the prohibition for applications of success on firearm restoration you are in good hands.

People wonder wether this is for federal offenses only. The Federal Firearm Rights Restoration (FFRR) program applies to individuals prohibited under federal law regardless of whether the underlying offense was a federal or state conviction, but any relief granted only removes federal firearms disabilities and does not override or eliminate separate state-law restrictions.

A State might still hold you to their felony firearm ban however it does not mean the federal government will. I believe this will make a big change in State operations of disarming federally forgiven felons. Even though States are very annoying on enforcing State codes any good lawyer in a State court can argue the supremacy clause being a key factor of not violating a federally protected restored right.

States should not pursue to hold felony forgiven persons from their arms in solidarity to the federal firearms restoration program. A felony forgiven, wether federal or state. Should not mean States are to violate the Constitution.

This program will show the deepest of the deep states desires in state courts to disarm patriots out of jealousy and greed. Just because one has not yet been pardoned by the states or expunged, it does not mean he doesn't have a new restored federally protected right to the second Amendment. The supremacy clause applies to all states. States violating a restored federally protected right to disarm you are violating constitutional and federal law.
