this is important for felons who have completed prison time and parole and used to be a 5 year wait time period and then could apply for ATF waiver...this was a provision in the 68GCA which first prohibited felons federally
GOP defunded this 16 years ago and it was up to states which created a conflict
state says ok...but feds get you and it costs instant 3 years and up with no good time to speak of
Actually, I think ATF honors the state reversal, as long as it’s across the board. AK I think it is reverses on long arms but still prohibits handguns, and ATF says if the state still prohibits ANYTHING, the feds prohibit EVERYTHING, so people end up falling through this crack.
