Barton Morris Assists in Restoring Federal Gun Rights for Felons

In a significant move to restore the Second Amendment rights of non-violent felons, Michigan Attorney Barton Morris is stepping up to assist eligible individuals across the nation. With the Department of Justice (DOJ) reactivating the Federal Firearm Rights Restoration Program—an initiative that had remained dormant for over thirty years—there’s a renewed opportunity for those who have previously faced firearm restrictions to reclaim their legal gun ownership rights.

A New Dawn for Restoration

The revival of this program, previously known as the 925(c) program, opens doors for citizens who have completed their sentences and no longer pose a threat to public safety. According to Morris, “These are business owners, veterans, hunters, and fathers—people who made a mistake decades ago and have lived honorably since. For them, restoration is about being made whole as a citizen.”

As of now, his law office is actively accepting applications and inquiries from individuals who believe they qualify for the program. Morris emphasizes the importance of a thorough understanding of the application process, which can be complex and challenging without proper guidance.

Important Dates to Note

Given the potential eligibility of over one million individuals, timing is crucial. Key dates outlined by the DOJ indicate:

• - November 4, 2026: Applications will officially open for the first group of 5,000 candidates.
• - January 4, 2027: A broader application rollout to the general public will commence.

These openings are vital for individuals aiming to restore their gun rights, especially those who may have been disconnected from their rights for many years.

Eligibility and Application Process

The restoration process involves a detailed review of each case. Morris's office has provided key eligibility criteria which potential applicants must meet:

• - Case-by-Case Evaluation: Applications will undergo a rigorous evaluation of criminal records, past conduct, and their current societal impact.
• - Exclusions: Individuals with prior domestic violence issues, violent crimes, or certain sexual offenses will not be eligible for this program. It’s essential to fully understand these exclusions before applying.
• - Dual Compliance: Satisfying federal regulations does not automatically ensure compliance with state laws; individuals must navigate both legal landscapes carefully.

To further assist potential applicants, The Law Offices of Barton Morris is hosting an informative event known as Armed Again Restoration Day. This gathering is scheduled for October 10, 2026, at The Seven venue in Ferndale, Michigan. Morris himself will provide expert guidance on preparing a compelling application for restoration, reinforcing the practical steps needed for a successful submission.
