Federal Firearms Relief – Our Intel Says It’s Available Now

As discussed in my recent article , earlier this year Attorney General Bondi published an Interim Final Rule reviving the Federal Firearms Relief process under 18 U.S.C. 925(c) by rescinding the delegation of authority to the ATF. The AG’s Interim Final Rule included the below statement explaining that the Department of Justice would at some point in the future promulgate another rulemaking that would presumably outline the new and forthcoming application procedure. 

With such a clean slate, the Department anticipates future actions, including rulemaking consistent with applicable law, to give full effect to 18 U.S.C. 925(c) while simultaneously ensuring that violent or dangerous individuals remain disabled from lawfully acquiring firearms.

Notwithstanding that it has yet to promulgate that rulemaking, the AG has restored the firearms rights of ten individuals. There was also significant publicity over the alleged termination of an attorney within the office of the U.S. Pardon Attorney for refusing to support the restoration of the firearms rights to one of the ten individuals who ultimately received it.

As many of our readers are likely already aware, we regularly litigate against the state and federal governments on a variety of firearms related topics, including the categories of federally prohibited persons. We are currently involved in several suits against the federal government, and through our litigation efforts, we have learned that the relief process is currently operational .

We are now inviting inquiries and scheduling consultations with anybody interested in seeking relief from their federal firearms disabilities through the federal firearms relief process. While we are located in Pennsylvania, we are able to assist clients with this process anywhere in the U.S. , regardless of where the disability originated. 

If you or someone you know are prohibited from purchasing or possessing firearms,  contact FICG today  to discuss your options.

Understanding Pennsylvania’s Clean Slate Law and Its Impact on Firearm Rights

By ahmedahmii30 • July 16, 2025
Many Pennsylvanians have past criminal convictions that were affected by the PA “Clean Slate” law. This law, passed in 2018 and expanded in 2023, aimed to scrub these convictions from records.
