October 24, 2025 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Department of Justice’s proposed rule under 18 U.S.C. § 925(c) is set to transform lives by restoring firearm rights for non-violent felons. With up to one million applications expected in the first year, this program offers a second chance for law-abiding ex-felons to legally protect themselves and their families, reducing illegal gun possession, and enhancing public safety.
Far from fueling chaos, this initiative could deter crime, as FBI data suggests armed citizens lower violence rates. By bringing responsible ex-felons into the fold—vetted through rigorous DOJ screening—communities gain protectors, not threats. “From locked up to locked and loaded,” says Barton Morris, a leading advocate for restoration, “this is about redemption and responsibility.”
Through ArmedAgain.com, we’re proud to champion this cause, providing resources and guidance for eligible applicants.
