flag The NRA supports two nonviolent offenders challenging a federal law that bans gun ownership after any felony conviction.

flag The NRA is backing two individuals, Selim Zherka and Melynda Vincent, in their bid to challenge a federal law that permanently strips gun rights from people convicted of any crime punishable by more than a year in prison, even for nonviolent offenses like fraud or writing a bad check. flag Both served their sentences but remain barred from owning firearms. flag While some federal appeals courts have ruled the law unconstitutional as applied to nonviolent offenders, others have upheld it based on historical precedent. flag The Supreme Court now faces the question of whether such blanket restrictions violate the Second Amendment.
