SKOPIL, Senior Circuit Judge:
Tony E. Collins was convicted by a jury of violating 18 U.S.C. §§ 922(g)(1) and 922(g)(2), prohibiting felons and fugitives from possessing firearms.

He contends on appeal that his prior felony convictions cannot serve as predicate offenses for sections 922(g)(1) and 924(e) because his civil rights, including the right to possess firearms, had been restored. We disagree that his right to possess firearms was ever restored. We also reject Collins’ arguments regarding the search warrant…
