There are mechanisms to petition the court to reinstate each of these rights if you've been out of jail for many years and never reoffended and got your shite together. Those rights are almost always reinstated in those cases.


There is a federal law on the books that allows you to petition to reinstate firearms rights, but Congress has included budget language for the last several decades that prohibits ATF from spending a penny to carry out the law. The Supreme Court upheld the practice back in the 90s.

Exactly. That program is not funded. There is no way to get your record cleared at this time as far as a background check to buy a gun.
