Fictitious, never-effective, long-outdated defunct court process for gun rights “restoration” reintroduced after decades of legal limbo
A long-outdated null statute that once offered a bogus process for a fake “restoration” of gun rights was defunded and made defunct by Congress and the courts with heavy input from the executive branch. Cops gonna grab guns, cops gonna grab guns, cops gonna jail law-abiding gun owners no matter what

March 19, 2025 ¶Washington, D.C. – The Department of Justice (DOJ) has issued an Interim Final Rule removing the Attorney General’s delegation of authority to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) to process applications for relief from federal firearms disabilities under 18 U.S.C. 925(c). This action follows more than three decades of Congressional funding restrictions that have rendered ATF unable to process individual applications. ¶The rule removes outdated regulations and is part of a broader review of firearm-related policies under Executive Order 14206 (Protecting Second Amendment Rights). Upon the interim final rule’s expected publication tomorrow, the DOJ will begin allowing individuals who are not “dangerous to public safety” to use the statute and petition to have their gun rights restored.
Unfortunately the reality is that when the feds grab guns, they grab guns and never ever give them back, regardless of constitution, and regardless of law and order. And even if they do give you your guns back, it’s still nothing but a cruel joke, because the feds will just change their minds and seize them all over again and impose decades long prison sentences on law-abiding gun owners. This is what always happens when a fundamental constitutional right is denied, delayed and treated as a privilege to be arbitarily revoked at will by any judge in any court.
“Relief” from federal firearms “disabilities” under 18 U.S.C. 925(c)?
What kind of garbage is this? There’s a very important right that SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, and the Department of Gun-Grabbing Injustice is burdening it severely with statutory mumbo-jumbo and other legal fiction. As always, the answer is no, and hell no, don’t even ask because you’ll just be arrested on the same bogus charges all over again if you even so much as ask.
“Individuals” who are not “dangerous to public safety?”
Come on. Get real. Red flag laws galore. And more and more red flag laws. No human being can ever prove him or herself “not dangerous to public safety.” Once again, a burden on the gun owner, fiendishly designed to be impossible to overcome the burden of proving in court. You are always considered a threat and a danger if the government calls you an “individual.” Do not ever forget that.
Did Pam Bondi really sell her soul to Satan to buy into the “relief from disabilities” scam offered by the ATF gentlemen’s club?
Any “restoration” of gun rights must be automatic and fully effective without peititon or else it is not even offered in good faith. Mother-may-I games have no place at the gun range, and no effectiveness in any restoration of rights as falsely claimed to be offered.
