A question struck me in all this rights restoration brouhaha: How do you answer Section B.21.d. on the 4473? If the form needs to be modified, that’s another drawn-out rule change.
I’m also thinking some poor slob who was innocent but pleaded to a domestic violence misdemeanor to avoid made up felony charges he couldn’t afford to fight will never get his rights restored because it’s too much of a political third rail.
