Privately funding relief from disabilities

Posted by David Hardy · 26 May 2011 10:52 AM

Joshua Prince has thoughts on the subject. Federal relief from disabilities was, until 1986, the relief for persons with a conviction for nonviolent offenses, or quite old ones. But for a decade, thanks to a PR campaign by Violence Policy Center, budget riders have forbidden the ATF from granting such relief.

Another interesting issue is that the riders DO allow relief if the applicant is a corporation, but not if the applicant is a human. Given that corporate criminal liability generally requires the the illegal act be directly approved by high-ranking individuals in the corporation, that seems a questionable distinction to me.

Is this another law the Administration has decided not to enforce?

If by "Administration" you mean every President and Congress since about 1993, then yes.

I applied ,and was granted "Relief of Disability" in Texas,1982.How do I get proof of that decision in order to possess a firearm.This maybe the wrong place to ask.I have not been in trouble since having been granted approval.
Thank You
