US EditionDOJ Proposes Restoration of 2nd Amendment Rights for Some Convicted Felons
UNITED STATES, JUL 19 – The Department of Justice aims to restore gun rights to nonviolent ex-offenders through a case-by-case review, excluding violent felons and sex offenders, potentially helping thousands regain rights.
- During a Tuesday press conference, Attorney General Pamela Bondi stated, `'I'm going to be here for as long as the president wants me here,'` supporting her commitment to stay in her role.
- Following Trump’s directive, the Justice Department proposed a rule to restore gun rights under 18 U.S.C. 925.
- According to the draft regulation, eligibility hinges on the Attorney General's discretion to decide case-by-case, while violent felons, sex offenders, and illegal aliens remain presumptively ineligible for relief.
- Justice Department encouraged public comment, while U.S. Pardon Attorney Edward R. Martin Jr. said, `My team and I are developing a 925 program landing page to make the process easier.`
- Looking ahead, the DOJ’s roadmap aims to extend the program to millions of people, and the proposed rule may help thousands of Americans reclaim a constitutional right.
