Felons May Be Getting Their Gun Rights Back

About this video

Colion discusses his evolving views on firearm rights restoration for felons, describing how he shifted from a hardline ’no guns for any felon’ stance to supporting restoration pathways for non-violent offenders who have served their time. He breaks down a new DOJ rule that creates an application process for certain felons to regain federal gun rights, while acknowledging his own logical inconsistency when it comes to violent offenders and sex offenders. Colion explores the tension between punishment, rehabilitation, and constitutional rights restoration.

Key takeaways

• Colion points out that state-level restrictions can still block rights restoration even after federal approval
