Back yonder in time the BATF was kinda trampling gun owners rights so Congress took some money away from them. At that point with the money crunch they discontinued the investigations into trestoring rights to people. Now with the new thing about people getting their rights back after mental problems we'll see what happens. As far as States giving people their rights back...that is fine. All states don't do it..the law of the land is the 68 Gun Control Act. If you have a conviction for a croime punishable by more than a year in jail(doesn't mean you had to get that punishment) you can't own a gun...by Federal Law. Try buying one with the instant check. A convicted person probably won't pass the nics check! Nics means NATIONAL instant Check system!
