We are supposed to have a Second Amendment where people can get out of jail paying their debt to society and they should be able to have their full Rights restored. That doesn't happen. It's not right but it's a reality. I'm a lifelong member myself currently in my 2nd year of a 5 year bit. Why is the NRA not working to do what you mentioned above since it's been ordained by Congress since the 1968GCA to provide redress thru the ATF reviews locally?
Unfortunately, they have been helping to push that issue the other way and I fail to see how that helps ALL of us in the long run. If the ATF were funded and did their jobs then predatory gangbangers would have to go a long way to prove their mettle for reinstatement but instead now we have folks losing their RKBA over misdemenaors. Lifelong predatory criminals don't pay attention to gun regs anyhow but some hapless tax evader type criminal with a family to protect will.
What do we do Shooter? Surely you of all folks can understand why some of us are angry over this slide.

For the exact reason the other gun groups don't do it. We have too many liberal judges on the courts.
We have had forty years of the the dems confirming judges to those courts and hopefully we can start to change that.
The problem at this time is too many people think we can get a ruling now. The odds are 5 to 4 that we could win but I would like the Republican to replace at least one liberal. clintoon replaced the last two. I don't like the odds. The only ones I see hoping for a ruling now are lawyers who have nothing to lose and the Civil War II crowd. It would be smarter to wait for at least 6 to 3 odds.
The NRA has made mistakes but it's still the organization of Ted Nugent and Jeff Cooper.
