This work has reviewed the opinion of the judiciary and other experts in the field of law and has found that in 2006, this was addressed in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(20) which effectively states that the individual who has had one or all three of their civil right taken away from them will necessarily upon restoration of one of these will effectively have all of these restored upon seeking restoration of one of these civil rights.

CONCLUSION

The opinion of professional advocates, Congress and the U.S. Supreme Court along with others in the judiciary capacity hold that the restoration provision regarding civil rights reinstatement "...reflects that an ex-offender currently has the rights to vote, run for office, and serve on a jury, thus is considered to be a law-abiding citizen, and should not be subject to a lifetime prohibition on firearms ownership." (Halbrook, 2006) Therefore, it can be understood that the laws and legislation supporting the view of reinstatement of civil rights is a view from which the civil rights of non-violent individuals convicted of a felony are restored upon having served the sentencing adjudicated by the court for that crime and after having served that time and remained ten years crime-free the individual has their individual rights under the Second Amendment returned to them whether by process of law or whether by administrative or adjudicative means.


Based upon the foregoing facts as stated in this Letter of Advocacy, it is the request of this Letter of Advocacy that the Governor of the fine state of Anystate issue a statement of intent and in order to disseminate this issue among the public that make it clear to the public-at-large of the position of the U.S. Congress and U.S. Supreme Court on this issue and that the Governor of this fine state place his seal of approval upon state laws adhering to this prescription of Constitutional law and specifically relating to the Second Amendment of the Bill of Rights and the right of individuals to bear and keep arms upon completion of their non-violent criminal felony offense and then having lived ten years in a crime-free existence.

Respectfully Submitted this the 30th day of November, 2008.
