The Justice Department just rolled out a major new rule letting nonviolent felons petition to restore their gun rights — a bold move for Second Amendment advocates who say lost rights shouldn’t be permanent. While emphasizing public safety, the Attorney General insists the right isn’t “second-class” and should be reevaluated if someone no longer poses a threat. This workaround resurrects a federal process stalled since 1992, with applications likely handled online — but it’s not automatic: violent offenders or those deemed dangerous will still be blocked, unless truly exceptional circumstances apply.
