Trump Administration Renews Controversial Effort to Restore Gun Rights for Convicted Felons.

The news as it trends

The Trump administration has proposed a controversial rule aimed at loosening firearm restrictions for Americans with prior convictions.

The initiative would reactivate a dormant legal process to restore gun ownership rights to thousands previously barred due to their criminal records.

Supporters view it as a step toward protecting Second Amendment freedoms, while critics argue it could endanger public safety — particularly for survivors of domestic violence, who fear that their abusers may regain access to firearms.

This move reflects Trump’s continued efforts to reshape federal gun laws by expanding access and minimizing government oversight.

The proposal has ignited nationwide debate, fueling intense discussions around rehabilitation, gun rights, and legislative responsibility.
