Pardon from California Governor There is only one relatively certain way to restore your federal gun rights: obtain a pardon. Pardons can be obtained from either the Governor of California or the President of the United States.
For those with more than one conviction, the court may restore firearms rights two years after completion of sentence for most felonies, or after 10 years for a serious felony (such as murder or sexual assault). For a person convicted of a “dangerous felony” firearms rights may only be restored by pardon.
In California, most convicted felons face a lifetime ban on owning firearms. However, in rare cases, gun rights may be restored after 10 years if the felony is reduced to a misdemeanor and meets specific criteria. This is generally uncommon, and most felons remain permanently barred from owning guns.
The Constitution clearly states that the right to bear arms shall not be infringed upon, so why are convicted felons not permitted to own firearms? There is no constitutional authorization for it. It is unconstitutional.
The Second Amendment Permits The Disarming of “Dangerous” Felons. Each year, more than 8,000 people are convicted for unlawful possession of a firearm under 18 U.S.C.
